I’M HEATHER!
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
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.
“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.”

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.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience! From the very beginning, Heather was easy to work with and helped us plan out the details of our very untraditional, intimate elopement on the beach. I loved her documentary style, which I knew would be perfect for our special day. I was not wrong! The ceremony was everything, and Heather captured every beautiful detail and emotion, perfectly telling the story of our wedding. We’re beyond thrilled with how the pictures turned out, as they really … More captured every moment. I’m so grateful for her dedication and the incredible memories she captured for us. Our celebrant, Barbara Densmore, and Heather made the perfect team, turning our day into something unforgettable!

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.

The quality of Heather’s work is ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. Her prices are genuinely a steal for everything she does. She was the most grounding, calming presence on our wedding day and I’m so grateful we chose her! She was ready to jump in and help with anything we needed. She went above and beyond for us, answering all of our questions and providing recommendations. She even took one of our elderly relatives back to her hotel for us! (Literally, what other vendor does that?!) The photography process … More was so natural and not awkward at all (I guess I just kind of assumed it would be?) But she is so good at making you feel comfortable and like you can be yourself with your partner! I would choose Heather a million times again. One of the best choices we made for our wedding day.

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!

Heather is worth every penny! I was super stressed trying to figure out the wedding day timeline and she was able to come up with one that worked out perfectly. Her pictures are stunning and she's great at keeping everything going smoothly and staying on time. Heather makes you feel comfortable immediately and has some fun tricks to get rid of any nerves or awkwardness you might have in front of the camera.
We would 100% choose Heather again! -
Heather is such an incredible photographer to work with. She was so kind, great communicator and incredibly talented. I would highly recommended her to any couple!
-
We could not have picked a better photographer than Heather for our wedding day! Heather is a kind, professional & talented photographer and human! She sent us our sneak peeks so quickly and then our full gallery very timely as well. We are so happy with all of our photos and are thrilled to have them to look back on and reminisce our special day. Thank you again Heather, we hope you work with you again some day and do some mini shoots or something!:)

Heather did a family portrait session for us in Dec 2023 and it was one of the easiest and most comfortable photoshoots I've been a part of. She made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped produce some beautiful photos that we can now cherish forever. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Heather and would recommend her for all your photography needs! As a bonus, she also has a really good stylistic eye because she gave us recommendations for outfits and colours to wear!
