A New Home for Love and Anchor

So, some exciting news. But at the same time, some heartbreaking news. We've moved. Yes, I know, it's a bit sad. Not just out of the HRM or anything. We've moved back to Ontario, and are setting up shop there. It's not such a huge move actually. We're both from Ontario - Matt from Toronto, Steph from the Durham region. We met at Trent University in Peterborough, after all. And while we absolutely loved it in Nova Scotia, things haven't turned out quite as well as we'd hoped. We really want to take our business full time, and support our family shooting weddings. But it wasn't happening quite as we needed it to out there, and we think we'll have more luck in Ontario. And, of course, our family is back there. Your priorities really become clear when you have a child - we want Rowan to grow up with his grandparents and cousins around, to be able to see them often, every week, rather than once or twice a year. It's a tough decision, but we also don't think an uncommon one.

Nova Scotia has been really great to us. We can't think of a more beautiful place to live. Everytime we've gone out to a shoot, we've been amazed at how wonderful the province looks and feels and smells. The people here have been super welcoming and friendly - we've made a few friendships here that will continue on, despite the move. It is very sad that we're leaving, and we didn't really expect it to turn out this way, but we're making the decision for our family, for our stability and future. We'll miss Nova Scotia, but we also know that it's the people that make a place, and people are portable! Ontario isn't so far after all. And, with the beauties of techology, the distance becomes shorter. We feel that's one of the reasons we do this work in the first place. Video, especially, makes it possible to experience these events if you can't make it yourself, and allows you to relive it, no matter where you are. So we'll just keep this in mind during our move. And keep up our connections to this place.

We'll miss you Nova Scotia!
