Halifax, NS, Canada
Hi, I'm Charlotte! I am a 31 year old self-taught wedding, elopement, and lifestyle photographer based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am a military spouse and I married the cutest Newfie in June 2013 with just our immediate relatives and a couple close friends at my husband's family's cabin in the woods of Western Newfoundland.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I think there are two "secrets" to taking a great photograph - lighting (I am all about that natural sunlight) and having a connection with your clients!
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
How did you and your partner meet?
What style of photography are you after? Candid? Posed? Moody or light?
What are some of your favourite things to do with your partner? (ie. watch movies at home, go on hikes, travel, etc.)
What do you love most about your job?
I LOVE meeting new people and making connections with my clients! The best feeling is when strangers become comfortable with you around and are completely themselves.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Growing up, my dad was always the one who had the camera or video camera ready to capture all the memories. In 2013, my parents separated and those moments and memories of us all being together as a family were no more.. but my brothers and I love having those photos and videos to look back on. So, I made it a point to capture my life as a newly married woman and all of the memories and moments my husband and I would make.
So, to answer the question, my dad, my parent's divorce, my family, and my husband inspired me to start my own business!
Also, you will come to learn that I am a very open person - hence mentioning my parent's divorce. Nobody's life is perfect!
Why should our clients choose you?
I am an easy-going person who just wants to capture people as they are! I can guarantee that I will be the most awkward one at every session, I will hype you up beyond belief (I have been known to throw a few "YASSSS's" out there), and all I want for my clients is to make them happy and comfortable. I want us all to walk away friends who maybe don't see each other often or talk every day but those who will be excited to see each other when we do and support each other from afar!
When you hire me, you are hiring a photographer who loves to joke around, laugh and have a good time, but you are also gaining a lifelong friend!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I have recently started mentoring people who are beginners with Canon cameras via FaceTime.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am fully vaccinated (and don't judge those who are not), I will wear a mask when asked to and I will take a test if clients are concerned.

Weddings starting at $1400 ❘ 4 hours ❘ minimum of 150 edited high-resolution images ❘ online gallery.
My wedding packages also include a complimentary 1-2 hour engagement session!
This is to help you get comfortable being in front of the camera, get to know your photographer better (hey, that’s me!), and to allow me to get to know you better so that I can serve you better on your wedding day!

Elopements are perfect for those who want to keep things super intimate - just the two of you + me - or those with up to 25 of your closest family and friends! They are also great for couples who want to move around on their big day and explore. Maybe you want to catch the sunrise at the beach and share your vows with each other while sun rises behind you? Or maybe you want to visit all of your favourite spots that you two have gone and take a trip down memory lane as you walk into the next chapter of your life together?
Whatever your dreams are for your elopement, I want to help you capture it all!
