Featured Wedding Story
Megan & Matt – A Heartfelt Coastal Celebration
Some weddings stay with you long after the photos are delivered — and Megan and Matt’s was one of those days. Set along the windswept coastline at Oceanstone Resort, their intimate celebration was filled with sunshine, crashing waves, and a whole lot of heart.
Their ceremony overlooked the ocean, with golden late-summer light casting a glow on tearful vows and joyful embraces. It wasn’t just the views or florals that stood out — it was the way their families showed up. Grandparents smiled through tears, children played freely, and every guest felt like part of something deeply meaningful.
One unforgettable moment came just after the ceremony, when the couple snuck away to Peggy’s Cove in her dad’s classic white 1969 VW. With just the two of them — and me, capturing it all — we created some of the most iconic and relaxed portraits of the day.
The reception took place in one of Oceanstone’s cozy, light-filled gathering spaces. It felt more like a dinner party among loved ones than a formal event. There were candid toasts, laughter, incredible cake made by Oceanstone, and a sunset that painted the sky in soft pastels. The entire day was a perfect reflection of who Megan and Matt are: warm, grounded, and surrounded by love.
The Verdict
