I’M HEATHER!

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

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 & banana bread fanatic, and nomad who just moved back home in 2025 after many years living 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, leaning towards 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 and lives professionally since 2011. After losing my little sister in 2012 with no family photos ever taken, capturing fleeting memories became my passion and forging/strengthening connections is everything.

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 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

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 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.

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.

    LOVE Tulle and Tweed Photo! Heather is absolutely wonderful. She is so easy to work with and her photos are gorgeous! Highly recommend!!
  • Avatar Derek Cruikshanks (Four Frames Photo Booth) ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    A 5 star review cannot adequately describe Tulle & Tweed's services.Her talent for putting people at ease, her professionalism, sense of humour and her ability to capture the essence of every event is unparalleled. We just received our images from a recent shoot and cannot wait to share every single one of them. Thank you T&T!

    Heather did our engagement photos and our experience with her was amazing! My partner and I had never had professional photos done, were really nervous. But she made us feel incredibly comfortable, at ease, we didn't feel overly posed either. She was easy to talk to, great and replying to us quick for scheduling, made the whole process a breeze. Such a great experience, the photos turned out so well, would recommend her to anyone! I had no idea getting photos done (as someone who can be really … More self-conscious) could be a lot of fun

    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.

  • 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 Aleana Thompson ★★★★★ 7 years ago
    Tulle & Tweed Photography is unbelievably amazing! There was never a moment that I felt uncomfortable with Heather. She was very organized, friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we had lots of fun each time we met with her. I would HIGHLY recommend them!!!!
  • Avatar Lauren Fraser ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Exceptional! We need more than 5 stars for these situations when you come across a magnificent human who provides top notch service.My wife and I mentioned to Heather about how unusual this is for us to do due to feeling quite awkward in the spot light... but we agreed that at the end of the day when we are two old ladies rocking in our chairs on the porch sipping G&Ts we wouldn't mind looking back and seeing ourselves in our "glory days" so to speak :)We cannot thank Heather enough … More for making the evening a total breeze and so much fun. After we walked and chatted for a bit by the time the photo session started we just had a wonderful time laughing. It felt a little out of our comfort zone for sure, but with Heather there nothing felt forced, it was easy just to be ourselves in front of her. Not to mention the quality of the pictures she took, I was blown away when we got to see them. I highly recommend going with Heather when it comes to getting those special moments captured! Thank you Heather!Lauren & Shelby
