The first wedding of 2023 DID NOT disappoint! When Emma and Keegan reached out to me and told me they wanted to elope at sunrise, I was beyond excited.
The morning couldn’t have been more perfect. I woke up at 330am and made my way down with my husband driving in the dark of the early morning. Slowly we saw the sun rise up as these two made their commitment to each other.
Emma and Keegan embraced this day and the photos speak for themselves. I will never forget this experience!
Read their story below to get to know who they are as a couple better.
how did you meet? Who made the first move? What was the first date?
We met at a Chinese New Years event in January 2020 through mutual friends. We became good friends for 9 months before Keegan moved to Nova Scotia August 2020. Labour day weekend September 2020 we planned a trip to Cape Breton for hiking and golfing, we had dinner at Glenora Whiskey Distillery where we realized that we missed each others company and that maybe we were more than just friends. Keegan made the first move as he was confident that he wanted to develop the relationship into something more.

Why Sherry? What drew you to my work, specifically?
Style and ability to capture people's organic emotions. Lack of stiff poses in her work. Colour plate was also in line with what we were planning. Emma had seen her work through friends and had enjoyed it.
