Weddings

Every wedding here is a little different. Some are big celebrations, some are small gatherings far from family, some are shaped entirely by weather and landscape. I've been photographing weddings in Newfoundland for over 15 years, and what I've learned is that the best pictures come from understanding how your day is actually structured — not from a standard package. Tell me what your day looks like. We'll go from there.

Graduations & Prom

Prom books fast — usually as soon as your school announces the date. Graduation sessions take more planning than most people expect. Either way, the pictures matter more than the hour they take. I'll help you figure out timing, location, and what to wear so that when the day comes, you're not thinking about any of that.

This Place

Newfoundland is not a predictable place to shoot. The weather has opinions, the wind is real, and golden hour at Signal Hill doesn't wait. But that unpredictability is also what makes the photographs worth keeping. Fog, wind, dramatic skies — these aren't problems to work around. They're what makes your pictures look like nowhere else.
