FAITH & BRANDON - basilica wedding in st. john's, nl // NEWFOUNDLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY


One of the sweetest parts of being a wedding photographer is how I sometimes get a front-row seat to one of the happiest day in the lives of people I grew up with. Faith is a childhood friend of mine. In fact, there are some home movies somewhere of the two of us staging a fashion show in my basement with my new dog and some costumes. Watching her and Brandon get married was an absolute joy. Faith's sweet soul shined through her bright excited smiles the whole day. Brandon grounding them both with patience and buzzing energy. I think everyone noticed how attentive, kind and grounding they were to each other the whole day. Their families were both so proud watching the two of them together and their love was evident throughout the whole day. With every turn, they were cheering them on with blessings, lucky omens (rain, bird poop, etc, lol) and well wishes.


Thanks for having me along for the ride. I wish you every happiness together in your marriage.
