Before you ask
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.
What time of day are family sessions?
About 90 minutes before sunset from May to August, earlier in the fall. Newborn sessions are mid-morning, when the light indoors is soft.
Can we bring the dog?
Please do. If you can, bring someone who can take the dog home after the first 20 minutes.
What if the weather is bad?
We move the session to another evening at no charge. I check the forecast with you two days before.
How do I pay?
By Interac e-Transfer or credit card. For weddings, a 30% retainer holds your date and the rest is due 30 days before. Family sessions are paid when you book.
Can we print the photos ourselves?
Yes. Every gallery comes with a print release. I can also order archival prints and albums for you.
How far ahead should we book?
Most couples book 12 to 18 months ahead for Saturdays from June to October. Fridays, Sundays and winter dates often have space closer in.
