Amanda & Blair | Fredericton Wedding Photographer

After much anticipation, Amanda and Blair’s  wedding day finally arrived! What a fantastic experience it was!

We started downtown at the Delta Fredericton for a few getting ready photos of the girls, then we headed off to the barracks for some heartwarming first look/couple’s photos. We took the bridal party ( all four of them! ), to the North side park near the walking bridge to capture some amazing group shots, then it was off to Duck’s Unlimited for the ceremony and light reception to follow. The weather was overcast which is perfect for photos. No squinting, no sweating, no sunburns! The place was beautifully decorated by Ever After Decor and the setting sun, ( YAY for sun glare! ), made for some gorgeous ceremony photos. Jennifer Donovan, the officiant, did an absolutely stunning job at marrying her two friends with a simple, elegant, and truly unique ceremony.

Blair and Amanda were so relaxed and easy going on their wedding day. Things went smoothly and if they didn’t, Amanda and Blair wouldn’t have had a care in the world. All that seemed to matter was getting married, being surrounded by their closest friends and family, and enjoying this special day to the fullest! I couldn’t have asked for a more genuine, sincere, and loving couple. They even invited me, with open arms, to stay for a drink after my day was done – the punch was to die for! I most happily obliged, and mingled with them, and their guests!

Spending the day with Amanda, Blair, Catherine ( MOH) , Andrew ( BM ), their friends, and their family didn’t feel like I was spending the day with clients, but with good friends. They truly made me feel great about what I do, and it’s people like that that keep my fire going! You can clearly see in every single photo, the love these two share and are willing to share with the ones they love the most. ( Like their adorable son Alex! ).

Thanks again to the happy couple to one of the most memorable weddings I’ve had the pleasure in shooting!

Megan & Eric | Saint John Wedding Photographer

A beautiful sunny day for Megan and Eric’s wedding in Saint John a few weeks ago. Couldn’t have asked for a better, more relaxed couple, a fantastic bridal party, and great venues. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, stress level was near zero the entire day, and we even arrived early at the reception, which rarely happens!

Megan and Eric are one of the most genuine couples I’ve come to meet. Their day was incredibly special and beautifully planned. I couldn’t help but tear up during moments throughout the day. Their first look was one of the most touching captures I’ve had yet to date and the setting was perfection. Saint John had some amazing urban and nature locations, that were side by side, so that was excellent for us!  Megan and Eric look at each other with such love, the crack each other up, which I loved, they have fun together which was so important during the day, and they truly are at ease in each other’s presence. They were so much fun and so easy to work with.

During the speeches, ( tears were definitely shed ) the bride’s sister had said she once asked Eric how he knew Megan was the one…His response was ” she’s my best friend, that’s how you know.”  Heart melted. I couldn’t be more thankful for this opportunity to share Megan and Eric’s day with them. As you can see from the massive bridal party, these two have so many amazing people that love and support them. Some, and most, they have been friends with their entire lives. Goes to show you how incredible these two are, and what is important to them in their lives. I wish all the happiness in the world to Megan and Eric.

Sonia & Keith | Edmundston Wedding Photographer

Rain rain, go away come again another day!

Sonia and Keith’s wedding day was definitely a wet one in Edmundston. They hardly bat an eye when we had to make the decision to completely change the plan for the day…And even though things couldn’t go according to what was planned, at the end of the day, Keith and Sonia were just so elated that they had married each other, their best friends.

The wedding was elegant, sweet, simple, and completely bilingual throughout! It was beautiful seeing two families come together, some with a language barrier, and enjoy being side by side to watch two beautiful people get married! There is no way you could get their love lost in translation as it’s so evident in the way they look into each others eyes.

Thank you Sonia and Keith for being so madly in love with each other. Makes me love and appreciate every moment I get standing behind that lens.

The Gaudet Family | Fredericton Family Photographer

I feel like there is a common misconception on family photos. When most people think of family photos, they think of parents and their young children. What most people seem to forget is how special it is to capture those memories of your children, as adults. Doesn’t matter at any age, people seem to hate getting family photos done, though I know they appreciate looking back in 5, 10, 15, years and cherishing the photos. I love capturing those big eyed children staring up at my camera with both innocence and a tad bit of fear, but nothing beats having a full grown adult family get together to create some awesome memories.

The Gaudet family had an amazing sense of humour, a clear love for each other, and obviously enjoy laughing along side one another. Even though as the kids get older, and sometimes families drift apart, this once a year get together helps bring any family back together and it’s that one day a year that’s a documented memory! We shot on their farm, which was one of the most beautiful areas of open fields I’ve shot at in a long time!

Even though it took some encouraging and convincing although the photos may be appearing to come off cheesey, all I really wanted was to make them laugh and create that genuine happiness across their faces!

Thank you so much for all the fun, laughter, and cooperation Gaudet family! Can’t wait to shoot you again!

Margot | Fredericton Lifestyle Photographer

This will have been my 4th time shooting with Margot since last Christmas. Two boudoirs, one glamour, and one family session down! I love this girl. Everything about her. The look, the smile, her attitude, everything! I always have such a great time shooting with Margot and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome this time when we opted for a more natural look. We were on location on Margot’s farm in Memramcook, New Brunswick. We had a great time with her puppies, her goats, and of course, her horse. The photos look simple and elegant, and she couldn’t look more at ease. Like she said ” there is no place I’d rather be, than be on this farm. ”

 

Thanks again for such an awesome experience Margot!

Family Session

“I first met Dani when I was pregnant with my first child and looking to have some maternity photos taken. Because pregnancy photos can be…well…a little tacky, I was feeling self-conscious and uncertain about the whole idea, but I had received a glowing recommendation from an acquaintance, so I decided to give it a try. I couldn’t have been happier with the results! With just the right directions and an easygoing and enthusiastic manner, Dani made me feel relaxed, confident, and yes, glowing, and the amazing photos are a testament to one of the most exciting times in my life.

After my baby girl was born, I knew Dani had to be the one to capture our first family photo session. Convincing my husband was not the world’s easiest task, but eventually he begrudgingly agreed to take part. The photos that resulted are hands-down my favourites of the (ahem) many, many photos of my daughter that have been taken over the past six months of her life. Dani managed to capture both my daughter’s bright-eyed curious nature and the immense love her parents feel for her. What I love most about our family photos is that they are natural, relaxed, and not at all staged, as if Dani just happened to snap some pictures of the three of us interacting with one another. Of course, what she makes look effortless takes tremendous skill; her astute eye seems to know exactly how and when to get the right shot. I can’t recommend Dani highly enough. Her professionalism, reasonable rates, prompt turnaround, and infectious energy make working with her a phenomenal experience. And perhaps the greatest compliment of all? Even my reluctant husband had to acknowledge that our photos are keepsakes to last a lifetime.”
