HUGH WHITAKER
Hi, I'm Hugh. I've been working as a photographer since before digital cameras were mainstream. I have an all-consuming passion for photography that, over the past 20 years, has taken me to some incredible places and introduced me to many wonderful people. I am deeply captivated by people-watching. There are so many meaningful gestures and looks that make us who we are. I believe that life is better when it is shared with people you love.
I split my time between my little home on the Atlantic Ocean in Nova Scotia and anywhere else in the world where I can find waves to surf.
Nova Scotia Wedding Photographer
"Hugh was absolutely wonderful to work with. Everyone from my mom to our guests fell in love with him & his cheerfulness. He made both me & my husband feel at ease in front of the camera during our engagement shoot, so when time came for the wedding we were not camera-shy. All of the pictures look natural, as he captures the moment instead of posed shots. Having Hugh as our photographer was the best decision we made - thank you so much!"
"All of the pictures look natural, as he captures the moment instead of posed shots"
The moment of quiet when you're driving down the highway in heavy rain and pass under a bridge.
The sound of someone practicing an instrument in a distant room.
Dusk in a South American city. It feels like the whole world is waiting in anticipation for something special.
The look on a person's face when they watch someone they love, without them being aware.
Ocean waves at dawn.
Things I love:
I am not the right photographer for you if you want someone to replicate photos you've seen elsewhere.
