Marcel and Celine – Cocagne Engagement
August 19, 2011 | Filed Under Engagements | Leave a Comment
I love when couples have a plan. For something a little different. Marcel and Celine’s wedding is not until next year, but we did their engagement session very soon after they booked me. Why? Because this super couple wanted pictures on their boat. Yes please! Here are some of my favourites!
Monique and Geoff Engagements – Moncton Wedding Photography

It was pouring. The day before had been the nicest day we’d had in about 2 weeks, and yet again, it was pouring. Pouring so yard that the valley in my backyard was white, I couldn’t see across, like it was full of fog. Awesome. This would be the last chance we’d get to shoot Monique and Geoff’s engagement pictures, just in time to get a guestbook back for their July wedding. Not to mention a beach engagement pictures. No cover if the torrential rain came back.
So I packed my bags, and umbrellas, and started the drive into town where Monique, Geoff and I had planned to meet. And the asphalt on the road was bare. 5 minutes away from where we had just had torrential downpours, the road was dry. And it stayed dry, all the way to Cap-Pelé, and right to the Aboiteau Beach. Not a drop of rain. And it was warmer on the beach than it was in Moncton! From what I’m told it rained the whole time I was gone, and you’ll see the rain clouds in the background of the pictures. Lucky, lucky, lucky.
Monique and Geoff, thank you for these shots. Thank you for not bailing because of chances of rain!
Bryan & Sally – Moncton Engagement Photography
January 25, 2011 | Filed Under Engagements | 1 Comment
I hadn’t seen Sally or Bryan since the day of our graduation. That day, we were all just a bunch of scared kids, sitting on that big stage, all getting ready to step into the next big adventure life was going to throw at us. How your suppose to know what you’re going to do for the rest of your life, no one yet has the answer to. I thought I knew what my plan was, and photography wasn’t even part of it. Surprise, more then 5 years later, that apparently was the entire plan.
So when Sally contacted me just after Christmas about getting engagement pictures done, and mentioned it was Bryan she was engaged too, that was another surprise. I didn’t know they were even together, let alone engaged. But these two know their plan, and their plan is each other. Bryan and Sally are one of those couples that make you melt just looking at them. There was no stress, there was no worry, it was just them, in front of the camera, being them. And there was not a trace of that scared kid look we all had years ago, or how cold they were after running around the woods with me for these.
I cannot wait to shoot this wedding later on this year, and I already know how great the pictures are going to be. Enjoy these!
2010 in Review – Moncton Photographer

Well, we all blinked and it’s now 2011. Amazing how that happens so fast isn’t it. 365 days sounds like a huge amount of time. Remembering back to January of last year is like remember decades ago, and at the same time feels like it was just last week.
Every year in review post on every blog has something along the lines of “What a crazy year!” or “Wow so much has happened”. I didn’t want to be that blog, but really every year is that crazy. And every year, that much happens.
Major happenings of 2010? We lost my grandmother early in the year, and two amazing pets at the end of the year. I quit my job, and went full time Scuffed Boots. I booked, and shot, my first “real wedding”, and then shot a second one. I have 5 weddings booked for next year, when this time last year I had 1 going into 2010. I went through a rough patch in my personal life, and then recovered. I attended two amazing events, both the Gala Expo and the Equine Review, and already have plans in place for this year, AND January Thaw. I completely re-modeled my living quarters into what is now lovingly referred to as, “The Boffice”. (boffice – shared living space of a bedroom and an office, uniquely decorated in a modern rustic style.) I learned how fast you can screw up a good thing. And I also learned how great and understanding people can be. And the most major happening of 2010? I fell in love with this job.
Thank you to every client, every model, every fan that’s clicked “i like this”, every show groom, every couple, every blog reader, and every commentor. I dunno what I could have done with each and everyone of you. Thank you, x1,000,000.
I’ve collected a bunch of images from all through 2010. Some I’ve blogged, some I haven’t. Some are work work, and some a personal photos. But this was my year, in a blog post, celebrating Scuffed Boots Photography.
<3 Bring on 2011.
PS – These aren’t in any particular order. Just the way the cards fell on the table. :)
