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!

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! 🙂

Gander Wedding – Evelina & Patrick

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of assisting Gander photographer Andrew Harvey as he captured the wedding of Evelina and Patrick. I focused on the ladies getting ready (with Andrew’s wife Melissa giving me a hand) while he photographed the guys. It was a true family affair that made for a beautiful and emotional day. The ceremony was at the Salvantion Army Church in Gander, reception was at the Gander Curing Club. Since Patrick is a fireman, we took some photos at the fire hall with the trucks. The bride’s broach bouquet was handmade by Evelina, a wedding planner herself. It will certainly be a day to be cherished for the families. I hope my photos can help them to remember the occasion!

Traytown Family Photoshoot

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of photographing Scott, Krista and their two kids at Salty Bay Cabins in Traytown. It was a very cool shoot for me. Not only are the Broughtons great friends, but Salty Bay Cabins is a place I drive or walk by basically every day. It’s an area I have had in my mind for portraits for a while.

We were all available, the rain held off, and the owners gave us the go-ahead! We got some results that I am really pleased with!
