Tara is from Summerford and Jon grew up a short distance away in Too Good Arm. I have drove through each community many times on the way to Twillingate. At our pre-wedding consultation, Jon said he would put a sign near the road on the day of the wedding to make it easier for me to find Tara. I never expected this! I thought it was fantastic and had to get a picture.
I love out-of-town weddings. The "not-knowing" is part of the adventure. When you shoot the same locations over and over, you tend to do what you've always done and what you know works. Although I try to avoid it, I'm guilty of it too. Out-of-town weddings give me the opportunity to be creative and force me to think. Where's the best light? What's the best angle? Would a shallow depth of field work best or do I want a deep focus?
I arrived in Summerford around noon and crashed (literally) in Twillingate around midnight. Yip! It was a long day, but a fantastic one! Tara and Jon's wedding has to go down (so far) as my favourite for 2011. I had such an amazing time and the scenery was a photographers dream! I'm in love with the images we captured. They not only feature a beautiful couple, but also showcase the true beauty of Newfoundland. I love being a photographer, but adventure and meeting amazing people are the reasons I love being a wedding photographer!
Tara entered the ceremony arm-in-arm with her father...
and left with her husband.
