Earlier this month, Dolcetto Designs, a talented Canadian custom photo card and invitation company put on a contest asking people to show off their favourite engagement shot.  One of my past wedding clients won with a wonderful photo which was shot at Crystal Crescent Beach one morning a few summers ago.  This was right after we all got rocked by a truly rogue wave.  You may recognize Jo from my Facebook Fan Page, my business cards and various other photo shoots over the last couple of years.  She 's doing great with her new business, If It Glitters and I look forward to photographing them again.

Well, well, well.  Natt & Matt (or Mattalie) are finally getting married.  I'm quite excited to photograph their wedding but haven't yet completely figured out how I'm going to get the family shots...um...with me in them.  It'll be a bit of, "hey Jilly, come over here and press this button."  Not only do I have honour of photographing my own sisters wedding this August (Friday the 13th) but I will also be shooting my brothers wedding this September.  I look forward to getting John  and Aimee out for a shoot before their wedding.

Well that was a lot of snow.  But I'm glad it's gone.  Karla and Jon wanted an engagement shoot in the snow and that white stuff stuck around for nearly a week.  We shot this in our hometown of Fall River, just outside Halifax.  Their wedding is in May and I'm so glad I'm their wedding photographer.

Do you know someone getting married in Nova Scotia next summer and looking for a wedding photographer?  I still have several dates available for Halifax wedding bookings or for weddings outside Nova scotia as I'm now shooting destination weddings and have several booked for 2010.  If you are interested in available dates for your wedding, please never hesitate to contact me.

Mandi and Mark have asked me to shoot their wedding...in Cuba.  Yup, looking forward to that.  But first we wanted some authentic Nova Scotia engagement shots and chose Antigonish in autumn (where they met and went to school...St. FX, of course).  It was a very fun shoot.  Cuba is gonna rock.

Jessica & Allan have asked me to shoot their wedding in May, 2010 and I can't wait to do it.  This was our engagement shoot and we had a wonderfully foggy morning at Peggy's Cove and the waves were just right to make for a very cool background.

If you are looking for a great gift for the bride and groom in your family, why not give an engagement shoot?  We'll spend an hour and a half at the location of their choice and I'll hook them up with a disc of all their images after I'm done playing with them.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all.

I had already met Andrew & Ashlea - so I was already a big fan of them.  But when they asked me to do a 70's inspired engagement photo shoot, I was thrilled.  We had a great time and it made me look forward to their wedding even more - which is next week.

Melanie & Tyler wanted me to do their engagement shoot at their family cottage - which was way out there.  So if we wanted an early morning shoot, I would have to stay the night and since I was there, we might as well so a sunset shoot as well.  We all got to know each other very well and had a blast that night.  I'm really looking forward to their wedding.

Eddie & Jo-Anna wanted to do a fun engagement session so we decided to shoot on a deserted beach first thing in the morning as soon as the sun came up.  It was a very fun shoot.  

A bit of a funny story; a bunch of the wedding party saw the engagement shots on Facebook and they knew the slide show of 50 or so shots may be running in a slidehow during the pre-reception.  So what they did was dress a couple of the fellas in khakis and a little blue dress (with a bit of tequila)  and recreated some of the more iconic shots of the shoot.  They played it during dinner.  Although a few of the party was afraid I would be offended - I laughed so hard I cried.  It was very, very funny and I'm very happy they did it.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?
