julie & josh | new brunswick wedding photographer | sussex, nb

As we loaded up the car and hit the road that particular Saturday morning, it was raining like crazy and I had resigned myself to my first rainy day wedding (hey, it had to happen sometime!).

As we loaded up the car and hit the road that particular Saturday morning, it was raining like crazy and I had resigned myself to my first rainy day wedding (hey, it had to happen sometime!). Approaching Sussex the sky cleared, and I became optimistic, but ultimately the bad weather found us once again… just in time for Julie & Josh’s planned forest ceremony. Rain fell in torrents, and Julie serenely remarked that it was okay, the forest needed the rain more than she needed the forest. A new plan formed, rearrangements were swiftly made…

And that’s how this beautiful, eco-conscious, creative-casual-hippie-chic, vegetarian couple got married in a hunting lodge under the watchful eye of a bear skin.

It’s a great story, and I’m recounting it here because I’m pretty sure that all anyone who was actually at the ceremony is going to remember is how Julie & Josh sang their vows to each other, and we all bawled our eyes out. Seriously.

(Afterwards the sun came out and we got to visit the forest after all.)

This wedding was full of beautiful, personal touches, from the edible flowers that topped our vegetarian meals to the giant mushroom that was the guestbook. There was plenty to love about Julie & Josh’s wedding, so enjoy these images. For best results, listen to the song they sang for their vows as you’re viewing. As we left the site, it came on the radio…

shanda & aiden | fredericton wedding photographer | fredericton, nb

August 5th, 2011

Shanda & Aiden. Something about them really got me snapping… I got home and discovered somehow I’d shot a rather unprecedented number of images on their wedding day, which of course led to unprecedented culling sessions. That job was made harder because every time I looked at the images, I found myself getting a little [...]
 

Shanda & Aiden. Something about them really got me snapping… I got home and discovered somehow I’d shot a rather unprecedented number of images on their wedding day, which of course led to unprecedented culling sessions. That job was made harder because every time I looked at the images, I found myself getting a little bit misty at the emotion they so openly shared…

This wedding was beautiful. Gorgeous, emotional, romantic. Full of personality, from the pins-of-allegiance and “ringbears” to the traditional hand-fasting and the ruffled confection of a dress that everyone was surprised to see Shanda wear, yet thought it suited her perfectly. And beyond the look of things, it was clear how much Shanda & Aiden have touched the lives and hearts of people around them, and how much joy was in their community as they celebrated their marriage.

Enjoy.

courtney & andrew | fredericton wedding photographer | magaguadavic, nb

July 20th, 2011

“She must have had a vision,” Courtney’s mother said, while creating the table centrepieces out of bottles that Courtney and sister Tallyia had been digging out of the local fields for years. “Isn’t it incredible, the way the community has come together?,” Andrew’s sister said, while taking me on a tour of the grounds, so [...]
 

“She must have had a vision,” Courtney’s mother said, while creating the table centrepieces out of bottles that Courtney and sister Tallyia had been digging out of the local fields for years.

“Isn’t it incredible, the way the community has come together?,” Andrew’s sister said, while taking me on a tour of the grounds, so that I could observe the way the granary had been turned into a bar; the way friends and neighbours were bustling to prepare food in the makeshift kitchen; the tablewares that were borrowed from the local church; the high school students who had come out to act as servers.

“Nothing can get me down today, everything is perfect,” Courtney said, as Blake pulled her hair into a frothy, retro-inspired confection.

“I can’t imagine anything having gone better than it did today,” Andrew said during his speech, with a happy tear rolling down Courtney’s cheek.

“Best. Wedding. Ever.” said a party-goer, face full of joy.

Indeed.

Courtney & Andrew, from your happiness and that of your parents; from the beautiful and meaningful decor, and magnificent spread of food; to the custom designed dresses; to the speeches which brought tears to many an eye; to the landscape around you… everything was perfect. I wish you all the love in the world.

My first wedding of 2011 was a lot like my last wedding of 2010. I first met Chris as part of the bridal party for Scott & Sarah’s wedding back in December, so when he & Lynne approached me a few weeks later about photographing their wedding, I was all for it. Meeting up with this crew is a bit like hanging out with old friends – just fun and relaxed; not even minor setbacks like a broken-down limo could stop the good times! Locations: the ladies got ready at the Crowne Plaza Lord Beaverbrook, the wedding ceremony was at the gorgeous St. Dunstan’s Parish, and the reception was at the STU Conference Centre.

Lynne, you looked absolutely gorgeous. Chris, I’m proud of how well you held it together! And your bridal party is now the record holder for Most Requested Crotch Shots at a wedding. (You probably didn’t want “crotch shots” to be in the last sentence before your wedding photos…)

Thank you for having me. It was an honour to be part of your day, and I hope you enjoy the photos!
