Questions

Ask me something else

Do you travel outside Halifax?

Yes. Anywhere within two hours of Halifax is included, from Lunenburg to Truro to Wolfville. Cape Breton, PEI and New Brunswick are charged at cost: mileage, and a room if the day ends late.

Do you photograph winter weddings?

Yes, and Elopement and Wedding collections are 15% off from November to April.

How many photos will we get?

As a guide: about 200 for an elopement, 600 for eight hours, and 900 for a full day with two photographers.

Can we have the unedited files?

No. The editing is half of how the photos look. You get every good frame from the day, edited.

What if it rains?

We find cover, bring umbrellas or wait for a break. We pick a backup spot on the timeline call. Some of my favourite portraits were taken in the rain.
