hi! I'm anita

It’s been sooo long since I have done a blog post. In fact, I haven’t blogged any of my 2020 weddings. I guess you can call me lazy or distracted. But, whatever the reason, I need to be more on the ball. So hopefully, you will see me posting more. Looking at these photos gets […]

Bookings are coming in for family sessions as things are starting to open up. This is a family I photographed in Fall 2019. They are from Texas but spent some time living in Cape Breton for Dad’s job. They love the island so much that they wanted photos to commemorate their time here. There’s one […]

This had to be one of the most relaxed weddings I have ever photographed. Lorne & Deneca just wanted everyone to have a good time. The ceremony was small and intimate with only close family and friends in attendance. It was perfect. I have to say that Lorne was probably top 5 for nervous grooms […]

During these difficult times, I debated whether or not it was a good time to be sharing happy wedding photos. Should I just be focused on reading the depressing news as I have no actual work to do at this moment? Creativity is where I  thrive and all of that is on hold at the […]

Something pretty to hopefully brighten your Sunday. Katelyn & Jordan were married this summer at the beautiful Heritage Park in Membertou. So much love, laughter and craziness were shared throughout the day. I can’t wait to shoot weddings again. Venue – Membertou Trade & Convention Centre 2nd Shooter – Candace MacDonald Decorator – Belle & […]

Michael & Meagan were married in beautiful Ingonish. I always wondered what that little white stone church looked like inside and now I know. Such a magical place. Meagan’s parent’s live in Ingonish and run a small restaurant there. So of course, Dad wanted to cater the whole thing. The girls got ready and had […]

July 20, 2019 was the day Brett & Leah had their Cape Breton Wedding. They couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day overlooking the water in GlaceBay.  The connection between these two young people was undeniable. They were meant for each other.  I was so honoured to capture such an amazing day. Vendors: David’s […]

Tyler & Nicole are more than just clients to me. They are friends. I’ve watched their love blossom for many years now and was just waiting for this wedding to happen. It did take a while, hence their hashtag #itsabouttime. The day couldn’t have been anymore beautiful and neither could Nicole. What a stunning bride. […]

I’ve known Erica for a little while now. Our dogs became friends at the dog  park and I went on to shoot her and Andrew’s wedding. A couple of years later, beautiful Jordyn was born and I’ve been taking her pictures from infancy. What a sweet little family and Jordyn has them all wrapped around […]

I figured I would try to get a few more weddings blogged before I get plowed under shooting for 2019. Here is Amy and Brent’s beautiful day. The weather was perfect and everything ran without a hitch. Brent and Amy were married at the Hearthstone Inn in Sydney. Everybody then travelled to Louisbourg for gorgeous […]

I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple to photograph. Dwayne & Laura Jayne smiled throughout the entire day with a laid back style that you wish for with every wedding. The whole wedding party was gorgeous but LauraJayne really stood out. She looked like  a dream. Thank you guys  for including me on your […]

Kristen & Ian are one of those couples that every wedding photographer dreams of photographing, especially on their wedding day. I met them the previous year while shooting their engagement session and I knew then, this one was going to be magical. The way they looked at each other and laughed together made for breathtaking […]

Jordan & Amanda were married on a beautiful day in July. In fact, I went to school with Amanda’s mother. I admit, it makes me feel a bit old photographing children of people I went to school with. But, it also let’s me see what amazing adults my friends have raised. Amanda got ready at […]

When Samantha contacted me saying she was from out of town and wanted to do an engagement session where Ryan had proposed to her, I was really excited. I love meeting people from out of province and showing them what an amazing island we live on. But, when she said the photos were going to […]

Sometimes you meet a couple who you have an instant connection with and know that their wedding day is going to be something special. That’s exactly how I felt about Michelle and Steve when I photographed their engagement session. Not only were we taking pictures to celebrate the announcement of them getting married, but also […]

What a beautiful spot to kick off wedding season, the Keltic Lodge in Ingonish. Kurt and Andrea’s day couldn’t have been more beautiful. Surrounded by the ocean and majestic mountains, this couple said “i do” with their most cherished loved one’s around them. I wish them all the best and many years of happiness

Grad sessions have to be one of my favourite things to shoot next to weddings. All of the kids I photograph are stunning both inside and out. Take a look at Amanda who is a Sydney Academy grad for 2018. Not only is she stunning but what an amazing personality this young lady has. Congratulations […]

Nadine & Brendan are one of those couples that you meet once and you instantly fall in love. I wanted to take both of them home with me. We laughed from the beginning of their wedding day right til the end. Thank you so much for letting me be part of your amazing day. (2nd […]
