They make me shed a tear everytime I shoot a wedding I swear.  Amanda called him her Honorary Bridesmaid at her reception and I can understand why. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a father help bustle a dress and I have to tell you – he was great!   The sweetest man and no doubt extremely happy and proud of his daughter Amanda who married Alan at Oak Island this past Saturday.

Congratulations again!

Kennedy Jr. I was sold.  Loved the cut and although I’m far from 6 feet tall (5 ft 7.5″ in heels oh yaaaaa) I just HAD to have the dress of my dreams.

Lisa was married on August 7th and looked simply stunning in her Wedding Dress along with Badgley Mischka shoes.

Forgive me for I’m all over the map today – it feels like a Monday instead of a Wednesday. I think I just found my new favourite designer, Zac Posen (and seriously how cool is this website – I want to be in one of those windows). When I saw this video of Coco Rocha’s wedding – I just had to share!!!!
Stunning dress, location, I could go on but you should take a look for yourself if you have a few minutes to spare.  And have a daydream or two…

For years I would strain my neck as I drove to get a quick glimpse of this intriguing and mysterious structure much to the chagrin of my husband Chris who would prefer that I keep my eyes on the road 24/7 – understandable I know but sometimes you just can’t help but look.

It’s stunning.

And I finally got the chance to photograph a bride by the name of Milo this past Saturday August 14.  She informed me that it was called the Music Rotunda (perhaps not it’s official name) and that there was a wonderful romantic story behind it. It’s a very special place for her as she grew up near the area.

I can’t believe I’ve been shooting weddings for over 5 years now and never heard of The Hemlock Ravine Park, a park just across the road from the Rotunda that has a heart shaped pond.  As per the VisitorsHalifax.ca website, “When Edward, the Duke of Kent, arrived in Halifax in 1794 to serve as commander in chief of the Halifax Garrison, he was accompanied by his French mistress, Julie St. Laurent. He built an elaborate estate for her here on the property of Governor John Wentworth, overlooking the shore of the Basin. The only one of the estate’s buildings that remains, the tiny, elegant music rotunda, can be seen perched on a hill between the water and Bedford Highway…”

Now please trust me when I say I don’t endorse having a mistress at all, not my thing… but there is just something surreal and interesting about the history and beauty within the HRM itself.

Next time… a groom’s perspective!!

Meredith was such a blast to work with – I just wanted to post a few more as I’m a diehard black and white girl… happy Monday Mer!!

The Kings County Register!

It’s one of my many dreams one day to get one of my brides on the cover of a magazine but I’m elated that we were all captured in The Kings County Register in the August 5th issue! :)

Emma & Franklin were married in Wolfville on Saturday July 31st at the Waterfront Park and it was a gorgeous ceremony with great weather & a fabulous wedding party!  Here are just a few shots from the day.

Stay tuned this week for my version of the Group Jump shot…

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Poirier!!
