Vardy Party!

There isn’t a whole lot that is better then a party down south with the Vardys! Well they are off on their honeymoon, I’ll post some photos of one of the craziest parties we have been at this year. It all started off with a pig roast and ended with the chicken dance at Oak Island resort. Who can beat that? fun times where had by all I can assure you of that.

Thanks Mark and Tina for letting us be part of your special day!

Bruce and Tracy sitting in a tree! (or in a boat)

Meet Bruce and Tracy, an awesome couple living out west who wanted to come way out east! Have their special day with family then head back home and party with friends, what a blast! We didn’t meet Bruce and Tracy until 4 days before the wedding, they had booked well in advance and had everything planned and ready for when they arrived. As scary as it was to think that we had had so little time with these two, everything ended up being great.

It’s rare when we don’t get to meet a couple well in advance of the wedding, but you know, things happen. One of the most important things for us as wedding photographers is how are we gonna get along with the bride and groom? They are stuck with us all day of course and if we start a fist fight with them over the bar tab, well that can’t be good. (Brian and Karen would like to clarify we have only been in one bar fight over a tab with a bride and groom before, and we whooped their asses) But luckily we didn’t need to rough these guys up….mainly because we think Bruce could take us.

It was a simple wedding…well as simple as it could be on the Mar tall ship with its energetic crew and wild captain… We took a 5 hour cruse down and around the arm and out past the very scenic McNab’s Island where we took aim and fired on a large cruse ship leaving our harbor…TAKE THAT VACATIONERS!! Nothing beats piracy at a wedding!

Nauss Wedding in song!

What does a baby sheep sound like?

My photo friends wedding

This past weekend we went up to Cape Breton to spend some time with our good friend Kelly Martell and partake in her special day with her special guy. I offered to help shoot her wedding along with Erin Dibben and Mark Ramsey. Between the three of us I am sure the photos she will get will be pretty over whelming. The weather held off just long enough to make the day absolutely perfect.

Congrats Kelly and Walker!

Tiff and Scott and their little dog too!

This past weekend we had a grand old time out on the farm in Tatamagouche where there just happened to be a wedding taking place. Hurricane Bill was on Nova Scotias door step and everyone was having a blast! Old home cooking, old barns, large fields of wheat….it was great in everyway!

And dogs! There was a lot of lovely amazing dogs! One that even spent most of the day on the brides dress. I’ve never seen a dog so happy in my life.

Wedding on a boat!

Erika and Todd rock! We had the opportunity to hang out with them all day and I can’t say enough how much of a fun couple they where, laid back and relax the whole day. Smiles all around. Their wedding even took place on an awesome boat! How cool is that? It’s pretty damn cool if you ask me.

We spent the earlier part of the day shooting their wedding photos, family photos and everything in between before hitting the boat for an evening cruise around the Halifax Harbour. We as wedding photographers have gotten stupidly lucky this year by there being fantastic weather ever date we shoot. And Saturday night was no exception. It was perfect weather in every way!

Level up!

We spent last week on vacation in the Cape Breton Highlands. Now we where not up there for fun and games the entire time. We did shoot two weddings after all! The first wedding of course was the lovely Luchador photos, and the second was with our good friends Clint and April. Fun times where had by all! Of course they where had by all, we were in Cape Breton after all!

Gorgeous country side, gorgeous couple…what could go wrong? Well we being the evil villains we are, we had a lot of plans up our sleeves!

We met them Saturday down at LeNoir Forge on the Isle Madame in Cape Breton. We did a couple fun family photos and then when no one was looking we kidnapped them in our chariot (Santa Fae) to fly about the tiny island a google (it’s a number. really) of awesome photos where ever we could sneak into. Isle Madam is very very tiny place! Every where we went Clint and April knew somebody. We got a lot of calls from across the road, and horns honked everywhere we went!

Eventually we had to return them to their loved ones of course and the night carried on into an awesome reception! And the rest is history!

Woohoo!

Match of the century!

We sped off to Cape Breton this past weekend for our friends fantastic wonderful wrestling wedding extravaganza! Or well a wedding at a nice cottage on the beach … same thing really.

It was a gorgeous low key ceremony on the beach, surrounded by friends and family. After the ceremony and a few quick family photos we headed up the road to an abandoned gas station we found earlier in the day. Photo fun was had of course as you can see and we headed back for some amazing food! An extra bonus for us as photographers was that we knew most of the guests outside of the wedding, that was a nice little bonus.

Tomorrow is another fantastic friends wedding down in Isle Madame. Also watch as the photos from our little vacation begin to flow in over the next while as well

And another successful wedding!

And another one is done for the year! What an amazing day! The place was gorgeous, the sky was blue, the weather was warm…oh who am I kidding, it was hot….hot hot hot! We should have been swimming! And just to torture us Kelly wanted to go to the beach!

The day went on without a single hitch! Everythign ran smoothly, the slide show was fantastic, the equipment worked great. Mn this year has just been coming up Milhouse for us in the wedding department. Lets hope the next wedding season we get couples nearly half as cool as this years couples.

Over all though we couldn’t have asked for better weather conditions. And what a fantastic couple, easy going and laid back like you wouldn’t believe. I want to thank Karen for her fantastic model coaching and Kelly for lugging around lights all day. What a team!
