Cathy Hynes & Dave Pike

Cathy and Dave's wedding took place on one droopy day. If it wasn't raining the fog obscured everything and sometimes both happened at the same time. We got a brief break when we started with the girls but it wasn't until the reception started that the rain let up enough for us to go out to the entrance for a few quick shots. Great couple though, took everything in stride and still ended up happily married.

Tracey Pitcher & Russell Woodman

Tracey and Russell came across the big pond from Halifax to get married in Placentia. The day was bright and sunny, the service well attended and after some formal shots we went to the baseball field where the groom struck out the bride in three easy swings, (I think she let him win). We had a great day and after supper Tracey and Russell held each other in their first dance as husband and wife.

Angela Mallard & Junior Nash

Angela and Junior got married on their grandparents 50th wedding anniversary and while the weather threatened to mess our day, all went great. After the church we went over to Government House, my favourite location in St. John's, for family and even some romantic shots. We took a jaunt over to the south side of the harbour and managed to get both the Battery and some boats in our session for just the two of them.

Andrea Wilson & Darryl Guiney

Andrea and Darryl's wedding marked the start of my having two weddings per weekend until mid-September and theirs was in Trepassey. A large happy group we went from the getting ready stuff, first the boys at Cappahayden, then the girls and then to the church and then out to the middle of no-where as some people decribed it, to get some great shots at the lighthouse.

Allison Mercer & Brad Butt

After a week off I started again with a local wedding as I call it with Allison & Brad. From the service in River Head we headed to an old school house in Bishops Cove and then to a friends house on Water Street in Carbonear. Then, with just the two of them we found a nice ocean-side spot for a few romantic shots. The reception at Fong's went great, especially since they had a candy bar and with the two of them, very nervous in front of all those people, having their first dance as husband and wife.

Lorrie Taylor & Adam Palmer

An overcast day greeted us with a bit of rain threatening to fall on our heads but all was well except the cloudy bright day was a bit squinty on some more than others. Lorrie even remembered to take the sale tag off her flip-flops she wore for the whole ceremony - who says you need high heels! Adam as it turned out is an RCMP officer in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut so throughout the day we had many arresting shots (sorry Adam). We did our outside formals in the yard that Lorrie used to play in as a child and even got her swinging from a tree. Also went to an old train bridge for some more nostalgia to carry into the future.

Julie O'Connell & Kerry Sears

Julie & Kerry had a great day for a wedding. They got hitched right downtown in an old but grand church with enough girls and guys standing for them to form a football team. Kerry was great in controlling his exhuberant group and when we went to George Street the party filled the road from side to side. A little more dignified time previously we had lots of great photos at Government House, both in the driveway and in the grounds.

Crista Watts & Chris Baker

Crista & Chris managed to have a great day weather wise. With both the ceremony and the reception at the Holiday Inn everything went well. Nobody fell off the sofas in the room where the girls were getting ready. The ceremony was short even with the sand ceremony and then we shot out to Bowring Park (along with 300 other weddings) to get photos behind the Bungalow and then down by the waterfall. The boys even got in a game of boce ball. A bit of a ride took us out to a rocky beach and then everone lined up on the steps in the hotel for one last group shot.

Susan Newhook & Jared Clarke

Finally the weather almost cooperated for us. Not a brilliant day but everyone was feeling great, not nervous and excited to get on with the events. It was my third Salvation Army wedding in a couple of months and even had an increasingly popular "sand ceremony". After we went of with the whole bridle party to Government House and they brought along their pink and black umbrellas for a fun event. Then to Torbay Beach with just the bride and groom where the weather started to get a bit nasty but Susan and Jared got some great shots in a natural living room by the sea.

Charlene Reid & Chris Cumby

The day started out a little unsettled especially since the forecast had called for the sun to come out much earlier than it did. I started off at the boys in Hopeall and got them feeling great and then down to the girls in Dildo. Although running a little late it didn't matter since everyone was in great spirits and the limo long enough for me to use as a garage. The weather even cooperated for a while while we went down to the wharf, climbed aboard someone's fishing boat for a few "Titanic" shots and then to the house and finally the hall, where for the first time every, the bride fed the groom his reception dinner - hamburger and fries!

Frances Peddle & Jamie Brewer

This was one of those days where the weather was great until the ceremony ended. Everyone was in a great mood and the moment we went outside it started to rain and the temperature dropped to about minus 3000. We did get some great shots in the house and church and even some at Topsail beach before we all started to turn blue. Once over at the hall everyone warmed up again, the pool table got some great use and laughter came back naturally.

Ashlee Warford & Steve Homewood

This was one tough crowd to work with - they never stopped laughing! While we didn't have the best weather, it didn't rain or snow on their day. Now living in Calgary they came home to get married in the Salvation Army St. John's Citadel and then they were off in their Hummer for photos at Government House and Topsail Beach. Their reception at the Holiday Inn was full of fun, food and they even screeched in the mainlanders.

Susan Ralph & Perry Stevenson

Susan & Perry choose to get married in the old and charming St. Nicholas church off Torbay Road. While the day wasn't all that great weather-wise, the church was packed with friends and relatives in an atmosphere that was relaxed and fun. Despite a near calamity with the rings (I'm not telling you have to ask them) everything went well. The backyard of the church was great for photos along with the barn next door. We also went down to Torbay beach and to a friend's house to finish our outdoor photos.

Tracy Sheppard & Blair Clarke

What a difference a day makes! The sun came out, the snow stopped blowing and we had a great day for Tracy & Blair to marry in St. Augustine's church. Even Quidi Vidi waited for us in full sun, a little cool but much nicer than the day before. To top of the afternoon they had booked the Winterholme and we got some great shots in a royal setting.

Susan White & Tim Galarneau

Susan & Tim got hitched in the middle of an April snow in a lively home ceremony with friends and relatives packing the kitchen, dinning room and living room. Then after the ceremony we tried our luck by the water's edge at Petty Harbour and after 3 bone-chilling minutes headed indoors at the hall to finish our pictures but not without stopping at their favourite eatery, MacDonalds..

Mellisa Bourne & Dave Butt

Melissa and Dave got married in between snow storms in Carbonear, NL. The day before dumped much of the white stuff but the wedding day was bright and sunny and minus 5. After the wedding at St. Patrick's we had the some formal shots done at Crocker's Cove and then we went to a local B&B (Keneally Manor) and then to her home where the entire bridal party took turns racing around the yard on their snowmobiles - great fun and outstanding shots.
