I’m telling you, there is nothing more exciting than being able to photograph gigantic surprises and joyous ambushes on people.

Sometimes we shoot a 16 hour wedding day and sometimes we shoot a 3 hour wedding day. Melinda and Ryan (and Henry, of course) came back to Nova Scotia for a visit and decided to get married right in the living room, with family and friends right there with them. I love shooting these small, […]
Trevor’s great grandfather built the St. Croix damn in the 19030s. We had to see it!
We were supposed to go skiing. Just Marse and I. A little ski weekend getaway that we’ve been trying to plan for three years now and everything was booked…until the kids got sick. Kids being kids, they lick everything in sight which meant we all got sick. Ski trip cancelled. The next thing I know […]
There’s got to be some secret society of grandparents, an elite club you join when you become a grandparent. I’ve never seen it happen but, from what I can tell, it gives you license to stock your cupboards with cookies and calm the craziest chaos with a warm and simple hug. It’s a superpower I […]
5 things I learned from a whiteboard. Two columns, four rows. A dry erase slap in the face. 1. we’re wedding photographers. no question. 2. chill out man, embrace the off season. 3. i don’t pose a soft hand on faces very well. stop doing it. 4. shoot way more personal work. 5. turn personal […]
Blog 2 to 3 times a week. Give 60% content. Ask 40% questions. Tag images. Titles w keywords. Act busy. Look busy. Follow the formula and ye shall find success. Are you fucking kidding me? For the life of me I cannot understand why a creative industry is being driven by those telling us all […]
I’ve been spending a lot of time in my furnace room lately, thanks to a faulty and discontinued electric boiler. As much of a pain in the ass is it is, good fortune sometimes favours the bored. While I stand there, waiting for the temperature needle to drop below 170 degrees, I find myself rummaging […]
If you come here from time to time then you probably know how much Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED Talk had an impact on me. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and my heart pounded against my ribcage as each of those 20 minutes ticked by in her talk. I kid you not. […]
Devon + Darcy were married in Scotland and then came home to celebrate in style. With the help of Chez, the Halifax Wedding Planner, and some amazingly talented and creative friends and family, they held one hell of a party at their Benjamin Bridge vineyard in Wolfville. The Mellotones set the stage and the cracking […]
I get an email from a friend of a client who’s a friend of a guy who’s about to propose to his girlfriend and then pull the whole wedding planning this off on his own…two days later. Its the kind of email where you think, “This is a scam…or…this guys is CRAZY!” Fortunately for us […]
Us: So, do you guys have any idea what you’d like to do for a fearless bridal session? Allan + Tracy: MISERY! (w undulating finger tents and evil grins) Us: Awesome.
A surprise proposal and a surprise wedding two days later. This is one of the greatest men in the world. Images and the story coming soon.
The probability of precipitation was about 30% and the accumulation was 0. 0mm of rain was expected on Saturday. At 9.09pm the walls of the tent were blowing in and the water was pouring from the sky.
