Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By Cees

Our first day of the holiday is behind us and it’s time to start exploring. Today the initial plan was simple: Cross the Nova Scotia border and head east following the coast line.

Wedding bells and what to wear.

Leave a Comment / Work / By Carlien

This COVID19 summer we have quite some low key, short notice summer weddings. Last year hesitant, and waiting till the traditional wedding party was allowed back to gather, now more couples decide to move forward and take the big step with less witnesses and less pomp and circumstance. Without the choosing, and dressing up, of …
