I’m Heather,
I’m a Full-Time Wedding Photographer & Portrait Photographer in St. John’s, NL
I’m a cat lady turned mama to a silly baby girl, a coffee and banana bread fanatic, and nomad who just moved back home in 2025 after many years away.
I’m relaxed and free spirited, but 100% organized. I love the honest & emotive photos that take you back to a feeling or a memory. I lean heavily towards documentary and candid photos with a guided experience. Fun, not forced. Easygoing but cool (and a little dorky, no shame!).
I have been photographing weddings, elopements, love stories and people’s milestones and lives professionally since 2011. After losing my little sister in 2012 and with no family photos ever taken, preserving memories became my passion and forging/strengthening connections my goal.
Inclusion and social justice are big here. All love is welcome and I’ll celebrate you loudly and proudly no matter who you are or where you come from.
“The most grounding, calming presence on our wedding day. She is so good at making you feel comfortable and like you can be yourself with your partner!.”

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ
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 30% 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 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 wedding at home or outside of the east coast or Victoria, 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 1-3 months 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 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.
“We’re incredibly fortunate to have such real and stunning wedding photos that capture every moment and intricate detail of our wedding day. Our photos will be cherished for a lifetime and hold a special place in our hearts, and so will Heather.”

PHOTOGRAPHY
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.

Listen… I’m going to lay down some wedding wisdom for you if you are thinking of hiring Heather as your photographer for your special day coming from someone who privately eloped with no photographer, then had a wedding reception 6 months later photographed by Heather.Weddings are crazy… you are excited, nervous, and just trying to enjoy the day with your new spouse and loved ones. You have probably spent a long time planning the details of your day (even longer if you are a pandemic bride!) and … More there is a lot that you may not even get to experience because you are in a flurry of conversations, pictures, and are smashing the open bar.Everything in your wedding has an expiry date, the cake, the flowers, the food ---one week after your wedding these will all be crusty. 40 years after your wedding day, you too may also be crusty. But, what you will (and always will have) are the pictures from your special day, of the décor, the details, the loved ones, and the love of your life.I cannot recommend Heather enough! She is so professional, thorough, and crazy talented! She has captured moments in my wedding that I will cherish forever and my only regret is not hiring her for my elopement! My husband and I had never been professionally photographed together before and we felt so comfortable and stress-free the whole day! I am so grateful that we have these pictures with all of our loved ones looking and feeling our best after such a tough couple of years. Thanks Heather!!!

Where do I start! A picture is worth a thousand words, Heather’s photos say more. She captured beautiful real photos of our Hindu inspired ceremony and elopement, we had a hard time picking a favourite. She didn’t make us feel conscious that we were being photographed throughout the ceremony, it felt natural. Heather made our dream elopement come true by also suggesting the right celebrant for our day. She has so much experience and knowledge, she was a great resource to have on our side. When … More we got our photos, our families said that they felt that they were actually there with us on the day and they could experience the joy and the love just by looking at all the photos, that’s how beautifully she had captured the emotions and the ceremony. Also she was a great company to hike with, that’s an added bonus. If you are planning a Wild West coast wedding, Heather is your person!

Tulle and Tweed did our wedding photography in July 2018. Absolutely amazing photos and they were so fun to work with! We will cherish our photos for a lifetime!

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.

Speaking from another wedding Vendors Perspective , Heather with Tulle and Tweed is great to work with and captured some amazing photos of me and my company. I had the pleasure of working a couple of weddings with her. She is extremly professional and goes above and beyond for her clients. Hope to see you at another event Heather!

We were so lucky to have Heather as our engagement and wedding photographer.She took two awkward and not always photogenic people and somehow captured the best versions of us and all of the different things we were feeling that day. She very quickly made us feel completely at ease with just a few simple directions (our guests commented as well how lovely and kind she was!). I don’t know how she did it but everything - us, the locations, the sky, the light, the details, the scenery - was more beautiful … More through her lens. Her pictures were just breathtaking - I still can’t get over how stunning they are.On the business side of things- from our first interactions with her over the internet to meeting her in person, she was friendly and approachable, clear, patient with all of the questions, and prompt. As someone who likes clarity and certainty I really appreciated how professional everything was and clearly laid out. She also sent us sneak peek pictures a couple of hours after she left the wedding - way sooner than expected and very welcome!We were lucky in that all of our vendors were great, but even then Tulle and Tweed was in a class of its own. I can’t rave enough about Heather and Tulle and Tweed.

Heather was amazing as our photographer. She helped us find a last minute vendor replacement which was such an amazing blessing during a stressful time. She was on time and took charge to make sure everything went smoothly and so our photos turned out for our elopement. Our sneak peaks were delivered very quickly and our full gallery soon after. She is thoughtful, considerate and gets things done when someone needs to step in.

Fantastic and professional experience! This was my first photoshoot with my girlfriend. Heather made us feel very comfortable and natural, all the while making it a fun experience. I would highly recommend Tulle & Tweed Photography for a great and worthwhile experience.
