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.

    Timely, professional, artistic, attentive, empathetic, creative, and fun ... 5 stars. Heather is skilled in capturing magical lighting and creating perfect compositions even in the most ordinary scenes. Heather goes the extra mile with her outstanding customer service. She's one of those unicorns who is both uniquely creative and highly organized. Her detailed intake forms are unmatched. She *truly* wants to get to know her clients' needs and wishes. Heather is THE VERY BEST (and I've … More worked with many photographers, from fashion to lifestyle to events).... Here's my advice for you: Drop everything and hire Heather for your next shoot.
  • 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!

    We worked with tulle & tweed for some family photos last mother’s day and they are stunning! Heather was so great and really made the photo session so comfortable.
  • Avatar Taylor Snowden-Richardson ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    My husband and I whole-heartedly recommend Heather for your wedding. She is an absolute joy to work with! She was so accomodating, made us feel so comfortable and has such an amazing talent for photography. 10/10 human & photographer!
  • Avatar Cheryl McQueen ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Oh. My. God. She is truly gifted at what she does! The wedding pictures she took are pictures we will treasure forever, and she is SO talented. She is calm but fun, and knows exactly how to help organize the shots to look absolutely stunning. I have never been married before so I had no idea what I was doing and she helped guide me through what might work and helped streamline how we went through the pictures after the ceremony and helped make our day flawless... Will definitely be booking her for … More more family shots in the future! Worth EVERY penny.
  • Avatar C Kempling ★★★★★ 6 years ago
    Amazing! Heather is so talented, and really made us feel at ease on our wedding day. Tulle and Tweed was our first choice from the beginning, and we are so happy that we got the opportunity to have them be such a big part of our big day. Heather's recommendations and advice for different photography locations were also much appreciated. Heather was always quick to respond to any questions that we had. From beginning to end, we were so happy with the experience of working with Tulle and Tweed. … More And of course our photos are gorgeous!
  • Avatar Jessica Weber ★★★★★ 8 years ago
