Morgan & Brad
Morgan and Brad’s love story is also shared with their beloved pup. We wanted to give a personalized story so headed to the Irving Nature Park in Saint John, New Brunswick for a place they visited often as a family. Read all about their love story below:)
How did you meet? Who made the first move? What was the first date?
We met through mutual friends who hosted a Halloween party and teamed up to play beer pong that night. We ran into each other again the following weekend where we talked a lot throughout the night and before I (Morgan) went home for the night I made sure to go say goodbye to Brad, that’s when he got the courage to ask for my phone number. We texted for a while after that and finally went out on our first date November 30th the last day of Movember for Brad. Both of us were super nervous to start but we settled in very quickly. We started at hopscotch, then Port City Royal and finished the night at the Ale House.
What is one thing about the other that you can not live without?
Morgan: I could not live without Brad's outlook on life. I have always been very fast pace and he has really taught me to slow down and enjoy the little things too. He is very calm and relaxing and his energy and emotions bring out the best in me.
Brad: I could not live without her side of adventure. She has pulled me out of my shell in many ways. I tend to stay in my own steady bubble and do what I already know. Morgan always has new fun ideas and we always have a great time doing them.
What drew you to the other person?
Morgan: I guess initially it was his beer pong athleticism lol and how easy he was to talk to. Even though there were a lot of nerves, it always felt easy to be around him.
Brad:Her energy and how easy the conversation was. Her looks definitely didn't hurt haha
What is home to you?
It's sharing just one couch cushion on a sectional that could easily seat 6-8 people. It's puzzles, game shows, crib, and comfy clothes. Our weekend mornings. Having our coffees, making breakfast and listening to music!
What do you love to do together?
Going for hikes with our dog Jack! We like to take Jack hunting when its in season and love to just go for drives.
What are you most excited about for the future together?
The honeymoon haha just excited for life in general to see what comes. Hopefully build ourselves a little family!
Why Sherry? What drew you to my work, specifically?
You were truly our number one choice and every time I think about having you for our day I get excited all over again. Every photo I have seen, I love so much! I can tell it is your work before even seeing your name. You can do every type of photo that I pictured for our day. I feel like you go above and beyond in getting to know your couples and making them feel as comfortable as possible. Everyone always looks so genuine and happy, I can just picture our photos already!
Hillary and Lisa Real Love Romance - Shediac, New Brunswick
how did you meet? Who made the first move? What was the first date?
Lisa and I met via Instagram! She actually reached out to me looking to join myself and a friend of mine who got together for weekly yoga dates. The first time we met I was very intrigued by Lisa, and she was intrigued by me. We both texted the entire evening after she left, and a connection started to form quickly! Within a few weeks we were seeing each other almost daily. We have been inseparable ever since. 3 years later Lisa asked me to marry her on top of a mountain in Malibu California!
What is one thing about the other that you can not live without?
Hillary: I think the one thing I could not live without would be Lisa’s flirting. She still flirts with me and hits on me even after 5 years of being together.
Lisa: I would definitely say the way Hillary makes me laugh. She always puts a smile on my face even in the moments where smiling doesn’t feel possible.
What drew you to the other person?
Hillary: what drew me to Lisa was honestly her charm! She was SO smooth lol I was literally swept off my feet.
Lisa: the booty. 😂 LOL Honestly I would have to say Hillary’s very care-free spirit
What is home to you?
Hillary- somewhere that I feel comfortable, with the person I love (and our first babies)
Lisa- whereever Hillary is.
What are you most excited about for the future together?
Hillary- I am most excited for all of our adventures and times spent together. To grow and learn with her by my side.
Lisa- to be able to travel more together, and to marry her.
What do you love to do together?
We love to bath. We are huge bath lovers. We also love to get in to bed early together and snuggle up with snacks and our favourite shows. We love to be outside together, we love to travel!
Our session with Sherry was nothing short of amazing. Being a same sex couple there is always that worry that the photographer may feel awkward, or make you feel awkward- but Sherry was just so sweet and cheering us on the entire shoot. She really made us feel comfortable and supported. I can’t express how good that felt.
Destination Wedding - Barbados New Year's Day Elopement
I got to shoot a few amazing elopements while visiting Barbados, where I am from, all the way for Saint John New Brunswick for Christmas. Visiting my family and spending time on the beach daily was the highlight of my trip but this was up there on those special moments.
Jenny and Till visited all the way from Germany and said I DO on the beautiful south coast beach.
This beautiful set up was created by Elope Barbados.
I can hear the laughs and the sounds of the waves still as I look back on these images.
