I’M HEATHER!

St. John's Newfoundland Photographer Wedding Photographer Family Photographer Newborn Photographer Maternity

I’m a Full-Time St. John’s, NL Wedding Photographer & Portrait Photographer

I have called Newfoundland home for half my life (born and partially bred). I’m a cat lady turned mama to a silly baby girl, a coffee & banana bread fanatic, and nomad who just moved back home in 2025 after many years living and photographing all over North America.

I’m relaxed & free spirited, but 100% spreadsheet obsessed. I love the honest & emotive photos that take you back to a feeling; documentary & candid photos with a guided experience. Fun, not forced. Easygoing but cool (and a little nerdy, no shame!).

I have been photographing weddings, elopements, love stories and people’s milestones & real lives professionally since 2011. Photography is my main job but it’s also my passion. After losing my little sister in 2012 with no family photos ever taken, capturing fleeting memories became my goal. Forging/strengthening connections is everything to me.

Inclusion and social justice are also big here. All love is welcome and I’ll celebrate you loudly and proudly no matter who you are or where you come from 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ

St John's Newfoundland Wedding Photographer Leaside Manor Destination Elopement-1

HOW DO WE BOOK YOU AS OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?

If I am the best wedding photographer for your needs, first, inquire to check availability for your date. We will get to know each other and see if we jive. Once you’re ready to roll I can send the booking details electronically.

You’ll review your wedding photography quote, wedding agreement, and I require a 35% non-refundable retainer to secure your wedding date.

What is your WEDDING photography style?

My wedding photography style is what I’d call fun, not forced.
Timeless, true to life but stylized, clean, and curated.

My creativity is sparked by human connection, so my wedding photography and portrait work is emotion driven & about the real moments. I want to know what it is you love about each other and your people so I can create photos that embody that. Honest reactions, energy and vibe. I prioritize the experience over the show. I will guide you so you can enjoy the process and so you look your best in your photos

Do YOU TRAVEL?

HECK YES! I am based in St. John’s NL but I travel all over Newfoundland and also work in Nova Scotia and on Vancouver Island (Victoria is my second home) often. I also am always up for an adventure! I love visiting Iceland (where I got married), and I have a few places on my bucket list for weddings/elopements: Scotland, Ireland, Italy, France, England, Japan to name a few!

Whether you’re considering a Newfoundland wedding or outside of the east coast, I’d love to chat and see how we can make it happen!

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE WEDDING?

After your wedding, I’ll get straight to work backing up and editing your photos. I’ll send a sneak peek gallery of 30+ highlight photos from the wedding within a few days. I edit all of my own photos (no outsourcing here – I like full control of the creative process). The rest of your wedding photos are delivered within around 90 days of your wedding (as early as possible given wedding season workload).

HOW DO YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS?

My photo editing style can be described as warm and true to colour (greens are green, blues are blue), with my signature subtle & refined style thrown in.

Do you photograph other stuff?

While wedding photography is a huge part of what I do, I also photograph families, lifestyle newborn, maternity, commercial work etc.

INCLUSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

ALL LOVE MATTERS, ALL HUMANS MATTER

I am fiercely passionate about human rights and inclusivity. I photograph and work with people of all orientations, genders, personalities and backgrounds. I have a zero tolerance policy for hate or intolerance.

So what does it mean to be an inclusive photographer (besides just saying I am)? It means using language that is affirming, whether it’s pronouns, names, or preferred terminology. It means that all of my documentation is neutral and supports people across the spectrum. It means donating to causes that support human rights of all kinds, and supporting businesses that are BIPOC, LGBTQ2IA+, and inclusively owned and operated. And it means those I recommend and choose to work alongside are also inclusive.

This also goes for how I photograph my clients. After 14+ years in the photography industry & 300+ weddings in, I’ve learned that no two wedding couples, families or people are the same, so why should your wedding photos or portraits be cookie cutter from a generic shot list? Everything is catered to the unique people I work with.

When working together, I’ll prioritize giving you space to stay grounded and true to yourselves so you look and feel like you.

    Heather is not only an extremely talented photographer, she is a savvy business woman, and a great person. I have been lucky enough to have her photograph some lifestyle, wedding, and business sessions for me- all of which are my favourite images! Book her early, her skill is coveted.
  • Avatar Laura Robin ★★★★★ 6 years ago
    Heather and Ebony were absolutely amazing. They were so friendly to work with and even helped with bits of the day that I hadn't planned or foreseen. My husband and I were just blown away and can't get over the quality of the photos and how they get across the feeling of the day.You honestly could not make a better choice - Heather was so put together and organized from our first meeting. She also had a good sense of humor when my husband didn't want to take the romantic photos. I … More need to find other reasons to get a photographer so that I can book her again.
  • Avatar Jarret Ward ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    We loved our experience with Tulle and Tweed Photography. Heather helped us feel relaxed and comfortable. We had an amazing time and the pictures turned out absolutely perfect!
  • Avatar Liam Collins ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    The right choice for our wedding day. Super easy to work with and made incredible photos. Heather really tried to understand what we were looking for and built from there - the pictures really captured our wedding vibe and amplified it.
  • Avatar Briana B ★★★★★ 6 years ago
    Heather became my literal hero during my planning of a last-minute elopement. Not only is she an amazingly talented photographer, but she went above and beyond even before our special day to ensure all the last minute details were worked out. She had awesome vendor recommendations and seemed as if she had done this hundreds of times. If you're looking for someone who is thoughtful, calm, and humble... Heather is your girl! On our wedding day, she was a helping hand to my fiancé, encouraged us … More to reflect during our photos, and laughed along with us as if she had known us for years. We just received our "sneak peeks" from our elopement and we couldn't be more pleased. Her editing is just what my fiancé and I were hoping to find! She let us be ourselves but also gently guided and directed us for more natural poses. We are so grateful for Heather and the moments she captured. If we ever need a photographer in the future, Heather would be our first pick!
  • Avatar Christina Nilsen ★★★★★ 6 months ago
    5 stars!!! Heather photographed our vows renewal at Lake Cowichan and we couldn't be happier. We love her beautiful photographs and will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. She was also super easy to work with and made helpful suggestions that contributed to the planning process from the get-go. Also, ours was a small, intimate gathering with just immediate family, and we were nervous about bringing a photographer into the mix. As it turns out, we didn’t need to worry at all. Heather … More meshed with our families perfectly, and for most of the celebration, we actually forgot she was there. Thank you so much!
  • Avatar Harjit A. ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    Heather was fantastic. She came to our home to do a mini session which included our 2 month old and cats. She followed excellent COVID procedures which helped us feel safe and at ease. She was warm and patient...especially with our cats. We felt very comfortable and she never made us feel rushed. Photos were amazing ....this will be a new family tradition.
  • Avatar Alexis Springer ★★★★★ 6 years ago
    Heather was absolutely phenomenal. Her love and passion really shines through her work. Her personality is the cherry on top. I dont think I have ever met someone so personable. She is 100% the photographer you need for your big day. Without a doubt in my mind.
