Experiences // Raves from our Clients

- Jennifer & Juan, August 31st, 2008

“Liz and I just finished going through our wedding pictures for the seventeenth time this morning and I'd like to let you both know how amazing they turned out. As we went through the slideshow, it felt like we were reliving the day all over again. Thanks so much for your help making our big day so memorable. I especially enjoyed my personal photo shoot, mainly because it is likely the last I'll ever be allowed to do. And, even though I didn't think it was possible, my bride looks just as stunning in the photos as she did that day. Thanks again.“

- Liz & Neil, August 16th, 2008

“I just wanted to take a quick minute of your time to tell you how truly amazing our photos are and how pleased we are! Thank you so much for not only meeting but surpassing our expectations (even with Brian’s ‘Chandler’ smile)! Thanks again for the great work!”

- Andrea & Brian, August 8th, 2008

“Thanks again for doing an amazing job on our wedding day. You handled all of the chaos (bridesmaids fainting, vases smashing, uncooperative family members) in an organized, efficient manner and guided Dave and I through the wedding shoot in such a natural way that we felt totally at ease and enjoyed the whole process! That's saying something from two people who don't get their picture taken very often!”

- Tamsin & Dave, August 16th, 2008

“Let me first say thank you very much for doing such a great job with our photos! We love them!!!! I'm glad we didn't rip open the album when we picked them up from you outside your grandma's apartment cause I would've had to wait for you to come back out, tackle you down with a big hug and then make you late for your next appointment! Seriously, I love it. Every picture reminded me of exactly what we wanted our wedding to be like... happiness, silliness, love and fun! THANK YOU!”

- Winnie & David, May 2008

“Dear Heather, We can’t thank you enough for the beautiful photos of our wedding day. In a short span of time, not only did you capture each important part of our ceremony, but candid moments with friends and family. Your friendly and pleasantly efficient personality kept everyone at ease, with wonderful photos as husband and wife, our wedding party, and our newly joined families a testament to your skill and experience. The photos were an assortment of classical and imaginative, inventive and traditional; an amazing and wonderful display of your talent. We can’t thank you enough for not only capturing our day so beautifully, but for the additional assistance you provided. In the months that led to the wedding you were eager to help whenever it was needed, be it advice regarding wedding day makeup or providing samples of wedding vows. You reassured us regarding our choice of a caterer, and when we discovered my now mother-in-law would not be able to attend, you quickly provided the name of a videographer who could fulfill her one request to tape our ceremony. When on the day of the wedding a strawberry stain suddenly appeared on my dress, from the depths of your camera bag a trusty Tide pen appeared and before I knew it, the stain was gone as was my anxiety. You truly are not only an accomplished photographer, but a warm and sweet person who helped us relax and enjoy the most wonderful day of our life.”

- Rebecca & Colin – Sept 9th, 2007

“Miles surprised me with the photos and with the whole presentation from the gift bag to the way they were organized in the photo album I was very very pleased. I knew you were the right person to capture our day on photos and you did not disappoint. I love the pics at our location chosen for the outdoor pictures....I love them all. Miles and I thank you very very much for taking these wonderful pictures that will allow us to look at them and recall that wonderful day. We would definitely recommend you to anyone we know looking for a great photographer!!!!!!!”

- Natalia & Miles – November 17th, 2007

“The best decision I made in the entire wedding planning process was booking HRM for the photography. Someone or something was watching over me that day when I emailed Heather and begged her to take on one more wedding for 2007 (after posting on her website that they were full booked for 2007). I really do feel extremely lucky and can't thank Heather and Lindsay enough. I don't think you guys know how much your amazing work means to me.”

- Angela & Jeff – November 24th, 2007

“Hi Lindsay, We just wanted to thank you for such a fantastic job! We absolutely loved the photos, and can’t wait to show our family and friends. You and Tara were so great to work with and you captured our day perfectly. These photos will serve as treasured reminders of our wedding day for years to come. Thank you!!!”

- Melissa and Dale, September 2nd, 2006

“Hi Heather! WOW!! We cannot believe these pictures! We’ve been looking through them since the moment we got home this afternoon…you have done such a phenomenal job. Some of them actually brought us to tears!

You have managed to make our wedding day come to life. We’ll be remembering our special day through these photos for the rest of our lives. THANK YOU!!”

- Erin & Andrew, August 26th, 2006

“Heather…you have truly outdone yourself. The photos are breath-taking. I cannot express my gratitude enough…

Thank you again - to you and your assistant - we are in awe!”

- Susan & Eric, August 18th, 2006

“Hi Heather, I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell u how much we absolutely LOVE our pictures! Josh and I were looking at them together, and I actually started to cry. They are amazing! You are so talented and really captured what our relationship is really about…fun and love…. and how much love we have for each other.

Thank you for everything. You were amazing to work with. We were so comfortable with you, and we can’t wait until our wedding day!! We’re so excited to work with you again! I know those pictures will be amazing too:)

Thanks again and I hope u know how much we appreciated what u did for us.”

- Kelly & Josh, Engagement Photos, August 2006

“We are thrilled with the photos that Lindsay took at our August 6th wedding! Lindsay was amazing to work with. We felt completely comfortable and at ease. She truly captured treasured moments from our day which we will continue to enjoy for years to come.”

- Jen & Sebastian, August 6th, 2006

“Heather - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We love our wedding pics so much - you captured the mood perfectly! We promised to tell everyone to look you up when they wan their special moments photographed. We hope you’ll be able to take some pics of our expanding family in the new year!”

- Michelle & Jason, June 18th 2006

“Hello Heather, WOW, Terry and I and my mom and dad LOVE the pictures… I just can’t stop looking at them and how well they turned out. You did an amazing job and I cannot wait for the wedding pics! I will always remember that day, as it was a lot of fun and we have the most amazing engagement photos and everyone is so jealous!!!! Thanks again for doing a great job!!!”

- Colette & Terry, Engagement Photos, July 2006

“Hi Heather, Thank you SO much for the album. I don’t know how we’ll ever choose… the pics are AMAZING!”

- Anne & Colin, July 29th 2006

“Dear Heather, ‘Amazing’ is all we can say about your blog that gives a sample of the outstanding pictures you and Anna took at Anne & Colin’s wedding! You’ve captured so many moments of their special day! We’ve heard ‘amazing’, ’stunning’, ‘gorgeous’, ‘fantastic’, ‘out of a wedding magazine’, ‘Martha Stewart photos’ and so many more compliments from family and friends when they saw your photographs. What a great way to share our family’s celebration! Thank you for doing such a fabulous job - we can hardly wait to see the rest!”

- Sandra & Mike Mortensen, Parents of the Bride, July 29th, 2006

“Hi Lindsay, I just picked up the photos and they are absolutely incredible. I didn’t cry at the actual wedding, but these photos have gotten me misty.

Thank-you so much. Feel free to use me as a reference to other clients… I have already given your name to a co-worker!”

- Tiffany & Jeff, July 15th, 2006

“Hello Heather! I just wanted to say a quick thank you to you and Jen for all your amazing work on our wedding! We both loved you and Jenn!!! You ladies were FANTASTIC!! Even our family and guests were commenting on how much they liked both of you. You were so sweet and professional and fun! And I loved how you were so quick to help out when Destiny (the flower girl) spilled juice down her dress and with my bouquet…. The photos are AMAZING! We love them sooooo much!! Thank you for doing such an amazing job!”

- Leana & Johnny, July 8th, 2006

“Hello Heather!! WOW. The photos that you took the day of our wedding are amazing!! Everyone who has seen them is raving about the quality and “that they are the best wedding photos That they have ever seen”. Ryan and I are so pleased. It’s going to be impossible to choose ones for framing. Thanks again!”

- Tralee & Ryan, July 15th, 2006

“Lindsay was professional, friendly and thorough. For two people who hate their pictures taken she made the whole process both fun at times and unobtrusive when required. Most of the times we weren’t even aware that she was taking pictures until we got them back. They were perfectly candid and intimate portraits of us and our family. And, at least for me, probably the best photos I’ve ever had of myself. Of all our friends’ wedding photos, maybe we’re a bit biased, but they seem to capture the mood of an intimate wedding. They really are a pleasure to look at. We were so very pleased and they were ready so quickly - exactly what you want when the day seemed to go by in a blur and you can’t wait to see proof that it actually happened.”

- Eileen & Greg, May 14th, 2006

“Hi Heather, I just got the emails from Mike with all the photos, they look amazing! I can’t wait to see the actual proofs… I am so pleased with the results and so glad I chose you to shoot my wedding cause I know based on these that it will turn out great. I loved all the colour ones especially by the dock with the skyline! Thanks so much, they are beautiful, I almost cried when I was looking at them!”

- Kristi & Mike - Engagement Photos, July 2006

“Hi Heather; Tim and I just got back from our Honeymoon! I just wanted to let you know that Lindsay and Tara surpassed our highest expectations…they were absolutely fantastic!! Both were very helpful, kind, thoughtful, considerate, calming–the list goes on and on. We received so many compliments about them from our guests…they were quite a hit!! We came home to find an email from Lindsay saying that our proof album was already ready!”

- Christine & Tim, June 23rd, 2006

Upon seeing the blog images… “Heather! You and Lindsay were the sweetest photographers. I couldn’t have wished for a better experience. The photos look amazing. I can’t wait to see the rest! Thank you so much for these memories!”

… and then the album “Heather!!!! I can’t thank you enough!!! My parents brought the album over yesterday, and it looks beautiful! I love it!!! I went through the websites with them and we had such a wonderful time reminiscing about the party. My mother in law was so impressed with the few pictures that were on your blog, she is going to go crazy when she sees these. (thanks for scoring me some brownie points!) The websites are brilliant. I am going to forward to everyone!!! What can I say, you guys are the best. I am so thrilled with the pictures.”

- Kanchana & Shankar, May 28th, 2006

“Just wanted to say how wonderful it was to work with Heather and Lindsay!! I am impressed at how well all of our photos turned out! I look and felt like a movie star! I can’t say enough about these two-they are professional and go the extra mile to make sure that their part of your day is one of the best. I also appreciate how much of a moral support Heather was-my flowers came in a little different than expected, I was upset and Heather totally understood, but in the same breath, she calmed me down and told me how beautiful everything was and was going to be. Three cheers for HRM…I wouldn’t have traded them for any other photographer in the world!! If you are looking for someone to shoot your event, wedding or even just family photos go for them. I have only one more word… AWESOME!! Thanks Girls!!”

- Lisa & Kenn, August 12th, 2006

“Many Thanks to Heather and Jenn for all their energy, enthusiasm and reassurance to Lisa and Kenn on their big day. We are thrilled with the results and are very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Heather and Jenn. They really added to the day and helped to make it everything that we had hoped for.”

- Susan Steele, Mother of the Bride, August, 12th 2006

“We just wanted to say how wonderfully happy we are with HRM Photography. We knew from the moment that we met with Heather that we wanted her to be our wedding day photographer.

Heather and her assistant made the photo shoot very enjoyable. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous. We have received so many compliments on our pictures and everyone asks who the photographer was. We have looked at our pictures numerous times and still notice things that we did not see before. We very highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a photographer to capture all the details of their special day.

Again we could not have picked a more perfect photographer and wish to send out our heartfelt thanks to HRM Photography!!!!”

- Sarah & Josh, June 24th, 2006

"We loved Lindsay as our photographer, she was like an old friend who offered to take photos as a favour on my wedding day. When we first met her we knew that we would get along, she was easy going and her portfolio was beautiful. She was a calming force in all the stress and rush of the day. She was professional but friendly and managed to do everything we wanted and also captured things we didn't even know we wanted. Her assistant was almost invisible and caught the most beautiful candid moments. Lindsay's true brilliance came through the day we picked up the photos, they were stunning and amazing, she is a true talent. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who not only takes beautiful photos, but is also such a pleasure to work with. Anytime we meet someone who's getting married we tell them about Lindsay and Heather, there are not enough words to express how amazing they are."

- Henrietta & Jason, May 20th 2006

"Oh my God. I absolutely love our pictures. There is not even one I didn't like. Who would have thought that Jeff and I could be so photogenic. You did such a good job. Thank you so much. This makes me even more excited for the wedding. I can't wait to see what you can do that day!!!"

- Jessica & Jeff, Engagement Shoot, October 2006

"Dear Heather, I wanted to tell you in detail how delighted we are with our photos! I have to say that they actually exceeded my high expectations after seeing your wonderful portfolios. We've spent hours and hours looking at them and can't believe how many beautiful pictures you and Lindsay took. I knew you took lots of pictures with us, but after seeing the whole (very generous!) collection we can't believe that you somehow found the time to also go around capturing all the little details and taking lovely candid portraits of our friends and families.

We couldn't have asked for a better range of pictures. We feel that we now have a little "movie" of every detail of our ceremony and glimpses into moments throughout the wedding that we didn't get to see at the time. We are both delighted with how we look in the pictures, and everyone who has seen the photos has been full of compliments!

We felt that you were both warm and friendly with people but also managed things well for us and made organizing the family portraits go so smoothly. We had such a wonderful time with you two, and felt completely comfortable and were so glad to have you there with us. So thank you very much for the best wedding pictures ever! xo Claire and Bradley"

- Claire & Bradley, September 17th 2006

“Heather, I just wanted to tell you how happy we are with all of our photos. I spent the entire way home last night looking at them again. Then Scott and I each went through it one more time before bed. Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did."

- Melissa & Scott, June 10th, 2006

"Heather has yet to shoot our wedding and already we cannot stop singing her praises. From our first meeting in early 2005, to now (early 2006), Heather has been incredible to work with. She was the first photographer we interviewed and after speaking with her, we cancelled all our other appointments. Her artistic flare was evident from her website, but meeting with her in person to view her portfolios was an experience in and of itself. Each photograph my fiancé and I saw seemed to be alive with the atmosphere of the wedding. What impressed us the most was that no two pictures was alike - and no two wedding collections were the same. Heather seemed to capture each couple’s individuality and allowed her pictures to tell their story. My fiancé and I were instantly impressed by this. Heather herself spoke so eloquently about her passion for her work and the joy of photographing weddings.

In the fall of 2005, Heather took our engagement photos, giving us a small glimpse of what it will be like to work with her on our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos is so impressed - each of them say that mine and Eric’s personality jump off the page. If you never knew us, or how much we loved each other, you would know every detail looking at the proofs for our engagement pictures. Six months later, after looking at them millions of times, I still get emotional; and to me that is the mark of a great photograph - you never tire of it, and looking at it brings up so many memories. Heather did this with each photograph, with each proof.

Being photographed by Heather was a terrific experience. Not only was she fun to work with, but she was so excited to work with us. Again, this set her a part for me. I have been to so many weddings where the photographer treats it as a job - get in, take the picture, get out - but for Heather, there is nothing monotonous or rigid about shooting a wedding or engagement photo. She walks into each “job” as a new and exciting experience. She leaves all expectations at the door and tries her best to capture the essence of the couple and their love for each other.

Her genuine love for her work, her passion, sense of adventure, and her easy going personality have made Heather a true pleasure to work with. Although I want my wedding day to last forever, I am so excited for it to be over so I can see the pictures!"

- Susan & Eric, Engagement Photos, Fall 2005

"Dear Heather, We would like to express our greatest gratitude for the work you’ve done for our wedding. We both think that a thank you card won’t justify all the great work; therefore, we’ve decided to write to you instead.

Through the journey of my wedding planning, there were a few things Maurizio and I knew we couldn’t skimp. Photographer is one of the top priorities on our list. Since pictures are the only thing that can document our very special day, we want to make sure our decision is absolutely the right fit for us. I did a great extent of research through magazines ads, also through family and friends’ personal recommendations. It was a heart wrenching experience because there are so many photographers in town and I find a lot of their styles do not suite us. Being a designer myself, I have very specific and very high artistic expectations. And yet, like any other bride, I have a limited budget. One day I came across some amazing images from your website through a link at a Bridal website. Immediately I knew you were the one. I remember we met quickly after a couple of emails exchange. Your style had drawn me to your work, but I was very impressed after seeing your full portfolio. It is more diverse then I thought. It shows me that you are open to different ideas and are willing to try different things to suite the clients’ need.

We really appreciate that you spent extra time before our wedding to tour the venue. I can’t tell you how relaxed you made us felt the entire day of the wedding. It was easy and pleasant and we actually enjoyed it very much. Maurizio has a huge family, we knew it’ll be challenging to get the family pictures done in a timely manner and try not to be pushy with people. But you handled that situation extremely well. And I was personally very impressed with all the little details you paid attention to. When I saw you took out a small tube of fabric cleaner from your bag to clean the dirt off my wedding dress, I simply couldn’t believe how prepared you were!!

The most exciting moment for us was when we got to see the pictures for the first time. They were ready just as promised. I can’t remember how many “Ohs and Ahs” and “Oh my god” Maurizio and I had said while going through the pictures. The pictures are AMAZING! They completely exceed our expectations. I couldn’t get anything better than such beautiful pictures to document the most important day of our lives. We received so many compliments from family and friends who had seen the pictures. The only hard time we are having is to decide what pictures to choose for our album because they are all perfect. Your service was worth every single penny we invested. We can’t thank you enough.

Lastly, we wish you best of luck with your business and we will highly recommend you to our friends and family. We hope our business do not end at this point. Maurizio and I look forward to having many more family portraits done in the near future. We will soon be in touch!"

- Suwan & Maurizio, October 2nd, 2005

"My wife and I would like to extend a very special thank you to Heather and her assistant as our wedding photographers. Right from the beginning, Heather was very accommodating, efficient, and professional. Heather made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and we had so much fun during the photo shoot! We felt like movie stars!

Our guests commented on how nicely the photographers fit in with the crowd without interfering with the flow of the day. Heather and her assistant made sure we got all the photos we wanted with all the people we wanted, and did an excellent job at keeping things moving along smoothly.

Our proofs were ready very quickly (within the promised time!) and we are so happy with them! Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous! There was a nice variety of candid and posed shots to please anyone.

We were fortunate to have great weather for taking pictures, but the quality of the shots is simple superb! The pictures all had excellent colour, focus, and composition. Heather's friendly and youthful attitude made it a job working with her and creativity of Heather and her assistant clearly shows in the various poses and shots taken that we would have never thought of!

Heather has demonstrated to my wife and I that she is experienced in her profession beyond her years and is skilled at capturing the essence of a special moment. Heather is a pleasure to do business with, and a truly gifted young photographer. Tamara and I whole heartedly recommend HRM Photography to anyone requiring a top notch professional photographer.

Our thanks to Heather for helping make our wedding day so memorable."

- Tony & Tamara Colantonio, June 3rd, 2005

"The photos are fantastic! John & Leanne are super thrilled with the pictures... and so am I! I think Katie (John's sister) cried when she saw them. That Heather is one talented lady. I just kept looking at them over and over and can't decide which one I like best.

John looks great and Leanne looks absolutely movie star beautiful. The kids are thrilled. Heather is amazingly talented... the photos are natural, relaxed, flattering, tell a story and seem to capture the fun and affection between John and Leanne - it's like a time capsule of one very special day.

I can't say enough about them... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

- Judy (mother of the groom-to-be), John & Leanne engagement shoot August 2005

"We had the pleasure of having Heather photograph our wedding on June 28th, 2004. Heather was an absolute joy to have at our intimate afternoon gathering. She managed to not only document the entire event with a great mix of candid and posed shots, but she somehow captured the essence of the day perfectly. Moments that I may have missed while I was busy 'being the bride' were there for me to experience afterwards, in pictures. She captured the fun, romance and casual elegance that we had hoped for.

Heather has the ability to put you completely at ease. She brings with her a sense of style, fun and confidence that truly comes through in her photographs. I would highly recommend her services."

- Emilie-Claire Barlow (bride!)

"Can I just say again... amazing, amazing, amazing!! We are so happy with the pictures. You gave us exactly what we were looking for... thank you!

... you are getting sooooo many compliments about the wedding pictures. People are very impressed. Doug's aunt said, 'These are some of the nicest wedding pictures I think I have seen. They are natural, not stiff like most wedding pictures.'"

- Kristina & Doug, August 13th, 2005

"Craig and I looked at the pictures late Friday night and we both thought that they are all fantastic. We're so pleased with them and want to thank both you and Lindsay for your outstanding work! We especially love the group shot taken from the balcony and the ones of us with the beetle where I'm hard at work pushing it!

...My sister thought the pictures were the best wedding pictures she's seen!"

- Shari & Craig, October 6th, 2005

"All everyone is talking about is how great the photographer was - how helpful and sweet and professional. I keep saying - I KNOW!!!

All of the photos are truly gorgeous - you and Lindsay did such a wonderful job. These are mementos that we will keep forever, and I am so glad that you played such an important role in our wedding. Thank you!

Thank you again, they are so beautiful, and YOU are such a beautiful person!"

- Catherine & Luke, September 30th, 2005

"I have been getting amazing feedback about the pictures... everyone loves how you really captured the essence of our day.

I look at them every day (this has to stop!!!)"

- Jennifer & Al, August 13th, 2005
