This is Photography is Heather Crosby Gionet’s Halifax-based wedding photography studio — a place where I (Heather) focus on telling the real story of your day. I specialise in wedding photography and engagement photography, bringing a relaxed, variety-driven approach that balances candid moments with thoughtfully composed portraits. I love weddings: the emotion, the details, the family connections — and I aim to translate those into professional wedding photos you’ll return to again and again. Why choose This is Photography? I work like a calm but curious guest on your wedding day: attentive, present, and ready to capture the spontaneous moments that mean the most. My background photographing weddings across Nova Scotia (and my experience working with Alex MacAulay Photographers early in my career) gave me the confidence to build a service that prioritises authenticity. Couples choose me because I give galleries full of variety — different angles, lighting and expressions — so every part of your wedding story is well represented. What makes my approach special is a mix of preparation and play. I will guide group shots and portraits with a gentle, conversational style so even camera-shy guests relax. Between posed moments I watch for the in-between emotions — the laughter, the quiet glances, the silly dance-floor moves — and that’s where many of the images you’ll cherish come from. My aim is to deliver professional wedding photos that are timeless but true to your day. How I work with clients: we start with a conversation about your priorities and the feel you want for your wedding photos. Engagement sessions are available and often become a relaxed rehearsal — they help couples feel natural in front of the camera and are a lovely complement to the wedding gallery. On the day I stay adaptable and unobtrusive; afterward I carefully edit each image to present a cohesive collection that reflects the mood and variety of your celebration. Rooted in Halifax, I serve couples across Nova Scotia and the Maritimes and remain open to destination weddings. If you want a wedding day photographer who values warmth, creativity and authentic storytelling, let’s chat — I’d love to hear about your plans and how we can capture them together.
