Gander Wedding – Ashleigh & Joe

Exactly one month ago, on August 13, I was invited to a home in Gander to photograph the wedding of Ashleigh and Joe. Ashleigh and Joe live in Edmonton but they have a few Newfoundland connections, one of which being that Joe's family hails from Gambo. Many friends and family at the wedding were visiting from Edmonton. Among them was Ashleigh and Joe's beautiful baby daughter.

Ashleigh and Joe had a great group of people around them during their day and it was a pleasure to be welcomed by them and allowed to photograph their wedding! Even though I had never met any of them, I was encouraged to feel at home and to enjoy the day with the bridal party and guests. The day was HOT. The ceremony was beautiful. The food was delicious and the reception was lots of fun!

Here are my favorite photos that tell the story of the day. I hope you enjoy! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Brentnall!

 

 

 

 

Twillingate Wedding – Chad & Nicole

Earlier this summer, I travelled to Twillingate for a full day of photography. It was wedding day for Chad Sweetapple and Nicole Cooze. I already knew Chad and Nicole because Chad went to high school with me and he and Nicole had been dating for quite a while. I also knew the best man and maid of honor and even attended their wedding (as a guest) where Chad and Nicole were both in the bridal party in 2017.

The whole event took place at Chad's mother's place in Twillingate. Chad and Nicole are kind and easy to get along with. It was a pleasure to spend the day with friends and get to know them even better. And come on, Twillingate is SO beautiful. I loved it.

Chad, Nicole, and friends and family: I hope you like this gallery of my favorite images from your special day. The rest are soon to follow!




 

 

Central Newfoundland Wedding – Natasha and Jonathan


April 9 2022: Natasha and Jonathan were preparing to walk down the aisle of St. Andrew's United Church in Deadman's Bay. I showed up early to take this shot of the empty church before anyone arrived.

Before long, the guys were there. Then, the ladies made their way inside and the ceremony began.

The couple's beautiful daughter played the role of flower girl.

While Jonathan's sister, Mandy helped to officiate.

This photo above, was one of my favorite from their day.

I like the energy here too!

We only took a handful of photos outside because it was not very warm out. Luckily, we had some nice simple locations for indoor group shots.

The wedding reception was at a place called The Muddy Shag in Musgrave Harbour. This place has a black ceiling so I really powered up my flash to get the bounced light nice and bright.

 

This was the last photo I took before I left!

Lumsden Wedding – Darlene & Trevor

I really do love to photograph weddings! I was thrilled when Trevor and Darlene emailed and asked me to photograph their ceremony and reception near Trevor's hometown of Deadman's Bay. Trevor and Darlene live in Labrador, and it's not every day that this whole family gets together on the gorgeous, sandy beaches of Central Newfoundland so the day seemed extra special to me. After a ceremony at Lumsden Beach, we spent a little time with the family before family portraits, couple portraits, and finally a reception at the Muddy Shag Lounge in Musgrave Harbour. These are a just few of my favorite photos from my day with them.


Trevor's sister officiated. 

Darlene and Trevor sent me with cupcakes to go when I was done! Yum!

 

 

Gander Wedding – Getting Ready

Summer is here! And that means wedding season in Newfoundland and Labrador. While I won’t be booking any full weddings this summer, I’m very pleased to be taking bookings for 2020. Here are a few photos from a Central Newfoundland wedding last August. I worked with fellow photographer Jennifer Dawe to capture Samantha and Terry’s special day in Gander.  While Jennifer focused on Samantha and the ladies I captured the day from the perspective of the guys. Check it out. 🙂

Winter Family Portraits

I photographed a nice few family photo sessions earlier this winter. We had a beautiful snowy December this year so I was really pleased to get out and take some photos then because January and February were SUPER cold and family photoshoots were basically not an option. Lately, however, it’s been a lot more mild and the idea of going outside is not sounding so crazy anymore! SO, I thought I would now share a few of my favourite images my outdoor winter photoshoots. Here they are! 🙂

Ben’s First Birthday – Gander, NL

I love the challenge of making a good photograph from what is already happening around me. (It’s what I do when I cover local events like the Terra Nova Tornadoes Christmas Ice Show or the Smallwood Days Loggers Festival and it’s often what I do when I photograph my own family.) So when the poor weather stopped me from taking portraits of Ben and his family like we had planned this fall, I was more than happy to join them at their home for Ben’s first birthday! Here are a few of the photos I took at the party!

Getting Married in Glovertown

I always admire people who take what they love to do and just get really good at it. No one makes you go into business for yourself and certainly no one can make you create art. But when you put something of your own creation 'out there', it represents a part of who you are. Some business owners take pride in that and strive to consistently produce work at a really high level. We're lucky in our area to have several really skilled women working in the wedding industry. I really wanted to celebrate that and show off the work of some of these women with a photoshoot. With the help of a beautiful model, I was able to create some images that I believe show off some the the best of what our area has to offer in the wedding field. You can see the results in the images below!
