2018 Favorites

2018 brought another year of adventure. New people, new places, and so many new experiences. I’ve been welcomed into the lives of strangers and friends during nearly 200 photo shoots this past year. It is always a time consuming and difficult task of narrowing down my personal favorite photos from my wedding and portrait work, only some of which can fit in this post. For many different reasons, these are the photos that stand out to me personally.

Working with people every day is the best part of this job, and being invited to be a part of all your moments is so appreciated. To every single person who was behind the camera this year, I thank you for allowing me to tell a little part of your story. I’ve had a blast. 2019 is sure to be another big year, and I hope to see you along the way.

Many thanks, and enjoy.

Hannah & Rory - Rollo Bay Fiddle Grounds Wedding Reception

Wedding date - August 13th, 2016

Rory and Hannah have been good friends of mine for years and I was so thrilled to be able to capture their wedding day this past August. Their wedding was the kick off to what our friends called "wedding week", two weddings on back to back weekends for the same friend group. What a blast it was!

Hannah & Rory met while studying music at UPEI and after initially starting off on the wrong foot, they were the couple that everyone (but them) saw coming. Throughout their wedding day their love of music was evident in many of the details, including incredible musicians playing their ceremony music, decor, a personal performance for their first dance, and the reception being held at the Rollo Bay Fiddle Festival grounds. With Rory being a musician in the military, we also photographed him in his Canadian Forces dress uniform in the early evening, a special touch to honor his commitment. 

As you can tell from the massive smiles in their photos, Hannah & Rory fully enjoyed their day and laughed all along the way. The vibes were amazing, and we will always remember the good time we had on August 13th. Congratulations to the O'Donnells!
