For couples who may feel a little wedding-ish and a little elope-ish.
BESTKND weddings
The best kind of wedding is intimate, intentional, and unhurried. Near home or a little ways away. Not quite running away, not quite staying put — somewhere wonderfully in between.

Weddings that blend the freedom feelings of an elopement with the warmth of a celebration
With a new family connection to Newfoundland, I discovered the expression best kind and it epitomizes weddings with a style and design that my couples seek. BESTKND Weddings are:
Intimate by design
Usually under 100 guests — often far fewer — so every moment feels personal and every guest, essential.
Reflect your couple personality
Your wedding may unfold as a relaxed weekender at an inn, a slow morning at an Airbnb before vows on the porch or an urban rooftop cocktail. A natural extension of how you love to spend time.
Custom and personal at its core
A first look at the high school where you met, a downtown Bixi ride to your reception. Details are yours.
Emotion-forward storytelling
Focused on connection, meaning, and atmosphere rather than excess or tradition for tradition’s sake.
Rooted in place
The setting matters, with place carefully chosen for your most important day for a reason. It will be forever linked with your wedding day through your photos.
Arrive to a day that feels like yours alone.
The best kind of place
Your wedding begins with a place Not just a venue, but an atmosphere that feels right. It’s the backdrop that holds your people and your story.

With close family in Newfoundland since 2021, I have spent several months over the course of the last few years travelling and exploring this most amazing island. From cultural venues like The Rooms in the heart of St. Johns, to luxurious Fogo Island Inn on remote and rugged Fogo Island, you are immersed in ocean breezes, breathtaking cliffs, atmospheric fog and colourful jellybean houses.

Awards & Accreditation
Professional competitions and accreditation opportunities motivate me as a life-long learner. While it’s always nice to be recognized as an artist, there are a few key benefits to you as well:
Credibility and Trust
Awards and accreditations can serve as a seal of approval for potential clients who may be seeking a photographer. Being an award-winning photographer and one who seeks to learn and grow can enhance credibility and establish trust with clients seeking high-quality work.
Skill Development
The process of selecting, curating, and submitting work for awards is a valuable learning experience. It can push photographers to critically evaluate their own work, strive for excellence, and continuously improve their skills.
Inspiration and Motivation
Seeing your work acknowledged and celebrated through awards can be highly motivating. It can inspire photographers to challenge themselves creatively, experiment with new techniques, and continue pushing boundaries in their craft.
