This is Photography

Last reviewed: August 9, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 9, 2026. This is Photography is a Halifax wedding photographer led by Heather Crosby Gionet. The current official website presents wedding, elopement, engagement, family and portrait photography, with wedding work positioned alongside a broader portrait practice.

For couples planning in Halifax or elsewhere in Nova Scotia, the business may be worth considering for full-day weddings, elopements and mini weddings. Heather’s site also says she travels for weddings, so couples planning outside the Halifax area can ask whether their venue and date are a fit.

Services and specialization

This is Photography lists weddings, elopements and mini weddings, engagements, family/bump/babies sessions and boudoir photography. For wedding planning, the clearest relevant options are wedding-day coverage, smaller celebrations and engagement photography.

The website’s About page identifies Heather as the photographer behind the business and describes a long-standing focus on photographing weddings as well as families and life milestones. The current site navigation gives couples direct routes to the wedding, elopement and engagement areas, which is useful when comparing the services most relevant to their celebration.

Service area and who it may suit

The official site identifies This is Photography as based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Its About page says Heather lives in Nova Scotia and travels for weddings, while the homepage features Maritime locations alongside weddings and elopements.

This may suit couples planning a Halifax wedding, an elopement or a smaller wedding in Nova Scotia who also want the option to arrange an engagement session with the same photographer. Travel outside the immediate area is mentioned, but no defined travel radius or fee schedule is published; confirm the venue, date and any travel cost before booking.

Wedding coverage and published inclusions

The website displays full-day wedding coverage starting at $3,900. It says this typically includes eight to 10 hours of photographic coverage by two photographers, a collection of 500 or more digital images, a small album and a complimentary engagement session.

Those inclusions give couples a useful starting point for comparing full-day coverage. The site also notes that custom and destination weddings can be discussed directly, so a published starting package should not be read as a fixed quote for every event.

• Starting price displayed: $3,900 for full-day wedding coverage
• Typical duration displayed: eight to 10 hours
• Typical team displayed: two photographers
• Typical deliverables displayed: 500+ digital images and a small album
• Also displayed: complimentary engagement session

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is the breadth of wedding-related categories on the official site: weddings, elopements and mini weddings, and engagements are each presented as distinct services. The published full-day package also clearly identifies a two-photographer arrangement and several inclusions, helping couples begin a like-for-like comparison.

A practical limitation is that the site does not publish a clean postal business address or a complete wedding price list for every type of event. It also does not state availability, exact travel fees, delivery timelines, image-download terms or backup arrangements on the pages reviewed. These are questions to resolve in writing before signing an agreement.

• Confirmed feature: wedding, elopement and engagement services are listed on the official site.
• Confirmed feature: a typical full-day package identifies two photographers and stated deliverables.
• Practical limitation: no postal address is published on the reviewed official pages.
• Practical limitation: custom, destination and smaller-event pricing requires direct confirmation.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published for the displayed full-day wedding option: coverage starts at $3,900, and all prices are subject to HST. The site states that custom or destination weddings require direct contact for its full pricing and information magazine.

The official site does not publish a separate starting price for elopements or mini weddings on the reviewed pages. Ask for a written proposal that confirms the coverage length, number of photographers, travel, taxes, album details, engagement-session terms, payment schedule and any additional-hour rate.

Contact and booking

The official contact page invites enquiries about weddings, family sessions and other photography needs. It lists heather@thisisphotography.ca and 902-830-8593. The site also has an online contact form with a field for the type of photography requested.

When making an enquiry, give the date, ceremony and reception locations, approximate guest count, planned coverage window and whether you are considering a full wedding, elopement or mini wedding. This will help the business confirm fit and prepare the relevant information.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm that Heather is available for your date and whether a second photographer is included for the specific package proposed. Because the website describes the published wedding inclusions as typical, ask for the exact inclusions to be recorded in your agreement rather than assuming every item applies.

Couples should also confirm travel and accommodation requirements, HST, retainer and payment terms, rescheduling or cancellation provisions, image-delivery timing, album specifications, the number of edited images, print or personal-use rights, and the plan if illness or an emergency affects coverage. For elopements and mini weddings, request the separate quote and coverage details directly.
