I met Katharine the last time I was in PEI two years ago and we made friends on social media. I think she's great - really smart and interesting and beautiful - so I asked if I could photograph her while we were in PEI this summer. Lucky me - she said yes! She took us to an amazing field of Queen Ann's lace. I love the images we made together! Hope you will too. Thanks for visiting!
I was lucky enough recently to travel to Prince Edward Island, a place that I love that is incredibly special to me. While I was there, I had the distinct pleasure to participate in a wonderful styled shoot with some fabulous wedding vendors. I hope you enjoy what we all made together!
In the height of summer in Prince Edward Island, Islanders and visitors alike flock to the historic fishing village of Victoria-by-the-Sea for the stunning vistas, charming shops, and rolling hills in vibrant green. Built in 1877, The Grand Victorian, a beautifully restored Gothic Revival masterpiece, provides the vintage elegance inspiration for this styled shoot. For a wedding befitting a Victorian-era heroine, the grandeur of the venue finds its match in the simplicity of natural elements and heirloom pieces.
The brides look stunning in vintage dresses hand-selected by Katharine MacDonald of Of The Island. Kristina Fisher of KLF Weddings dressed the beautiful harvest table with vintage milk glass vases and medicine bottles styled with local wildflowers from Isobel’s Flower Farm. The understated bouquets suggest an evening stroll through fields in late summer. In the words of beloved author L.M. Montgomery, "There is so much in the world for us all if we only have the eyes to see it, and the heart to love it".

Jessica and I are former co-workers, so I was absolutely delighted when she asked me to photograph her wedding this spring. We did an engagement session at sunset a few weeks before her and Thomas tied the knot, and I'm so happy with the images. We had a great time together during our session.
I love the light just before sunset and immediately after. It's so incredible and flattering. It's such a special time of day, especially by the water. I feel like I don't get outside enough at that time of day, and I've really been making an effort to do so lately.
I just delivered their wedding images, and can't wait to share them once they've had a chance to see them.
I'd love to chat with you about photographing a special, or even an ordinary, day in your life.
Thanks for visiting!
Jules
