Frequently Asked Questions

What packages do you offer for wedding officiating?

I offer a variety of packages tailored to fit different needs and budgets. Each package includes a pre-wedding consultation, travel information if required, rehearsal and coverage of the wedding day. The packages are listed here.

Do you travel for destination weddings or events?

Yes, I am available for destination weddings and events within Newfoundland and Labrador. Please contact me to discuss possible travel and accommodation expenses outside St. John's Metro area. I am excited to share in your special day, wherever they may be!

Aren't you a studio Pet Photographer?

I certainly am a pet photographer.  I have over 15 years experience.  I prefer to shoot studio style portraits and ensure pets are comfortable by allowing them to get accustomed to the photography environment, using treats and toys for encouragement, and taking breaks as needed.  I kindly ask owners to  provide the treats due to possible allergies.  When dogs enter my studio, please ensure they have relieved themselves prior and kept on leash. 

Our sessions are always tailored to match the pet's pace and comfort level. Browse some of the photos here.
