SEAN BERRIGAN
HE/HIM
PEI Native | Photographer & Cocktail Alchemist
As a born-and-raised Islander, I've spent over 20 years capturing life's moments through my lens. When I'm not photographing love stories, you'll find me mixing craft cocktails at the local speakeasy (ask me about my latest creation), fermenting wild ciders/wine, or debating the best submarine film of all time (spoiler: it's The Hunt for Red October). My ginger beard and I are staples here—whether I'm grabbing lunch in Charlottetown, nerding over botany, perfumery, or hosting impromptu dinner parties.
Snack Obsession: Green SunChips + pickled onions (trust me).
Signature Drink: Cocchi Americano Soda Highball with a lemon twist.
Life Motto: "Good light, good drinks, good vibes."

VEE MERCIER
SHE/HER
Storyteller | Translator of Love & Words
Born in Montreal and fluent in three languages (French, English, and poutine), I'm a translator by day and a hopeless romantic by... well, always. When I'm not wrangling commas or chasing toddlers, I'm happiest on PEI beaches, composting everything, or elbow-deep in a DIY project (handmade wedding décor? Upcycled furniture? Let's go!) My pink hair phase may be over, but my love for nature, strong cappuccinos, and perfectly bitter cocktails lives on. Pro tip: Buy me a drink, and my Québécois accent will spill faster than salsa on a chip.
Snack Obsession: Nachos. Always nachos. (But let's be real: Montreal-style poutine owns my heart.)
Signature Drink: Suze & tonic — bitter, bubbly, just like my humour.
Life Motto: "Professional sunshine spreader: even when it's raining. (Yes, I'm a lot. No, I won't apologize!)"

PALOMA IRIS
AKA p$ mONEY, pALOMI bALONI OR JUST "p"
Chief Joy Officer | Slide enthusiast & Paw Patrol CEO
At three years young, I'm here to remind everyone that life's better with snacks, slides and all the attention. My resume includes professional giggle-maker, tortilla chip critic, and summer chaos coordinator (you're welcome, Mom and Dad). When I'm not perfecting my photo-ready "cheese!" face, I'm busy running my teddy bear empire.
Snack Obsession: Gummy bears for breakfast, cookies at noon, cake at dusk— sugar is my love language
Signature Drink: Mom's special (aka 50% H20, 100% chaos)
Life Motto: "Why walk when you can sliiiiiiide?"
Our Team
HAZEL
aka skunky, schrew, hazelbutt
Director of Fluff Operations | Ocean Addict & Cucumber Connoisseur
As an 11-year old sassy Goldendoodle, my vibe depends on one thing: the state of my haircut. Post grooming? I'm a sleek judgmental queen! Three months into floof mode? I'm a wild, stick-obsessed muppet, muddy paws and zero regrets. I've mastered the art of "helping" my humans edit photos (read: sitting on keyboards and judging lighting choices). My specialties include beachside mud baths, stick eating, and sneaking too many snacks off the floor.
Snack Obsession: Anything that falls on the floor (it's a daily treasure hunt really).
Signature Drink: Puddle water (filtered through PEI's finest mud).
Life Motto: "Swim first, ask questions never."

Not just the grand gestures, but the messy, unscripted, heart-bursting moments that make your relationship uniquely yours. We met in Toronto (over cocktails obviously). But really, ask us how Vee surprised Sean before we even met!). We have built our life here on PEI, and created this business out of a simple truth: the best photos come from trust, laughter, and being fully and wholeheartedly present.
With years of experience, we've learned to anticipate the moments you'll want to remember forever: the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughs, the way your hands naturally find each other. It's about letting your connection speak.
We're the two humans behind the cameras: best friends first, creative partners, and storytellers who fell in love in Toronto, built a life on Prince Edward Island, and turned our obsession with capturing life and real moments into capturing
your love story.
WHY YOU'LL FEEL LIKE WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOREVER
We're chill AF.
No stiff poses, no pressure. We'll vibe with your crowd, sneak you snacks, and keep things light!
We're partners in crime.
Being a dynamic duo means we see your story from all angles. The tears, the jokes, the "did we really just do that?" moments.
We're obsessed with authenticity.
Our superpower? Making you forget the cameras are even there. (Seriously, we get told we're very very sneaky.)
WHEN WE'RE NOT PHOTOGRAPHING LOVE STORIES, YOU'LL FIND US...
- Rewatching The Office for the 97th time (As Michael Scott says: I'm not good at math, but I'm good at love).
- Chasing our kiddo and our goldendoodle Hazel, across PEI's red sand beaches.
- Geeking out over very precise coffee brews (it's a ritual, not a habit).
- Planning spontaneous road trips or petting every dog we meet on the way.
HOW WE GOT HERE
COMBINING PASSION & EXPERTISE
Vee's obsession with love stories met Sean's 20+ years of mastering the art of capturing life's unscripted moments. Together, we built something unique: a wedding photography experience that's as intimate, genuine, and full of heart as we are.
A FEW THINGS THAT MAKE OUR HEARTS HAPPY:
- Our kiddo's "cheese!" face: the kind where your grin takes up half the photo (and our whole hearts).
- PEI's salty ocean air: the one that tangles your hair on drives and reminds you you're alive.
- Richard's legendary lobster rolls: crispy fries included, because balance.
- Midnight Wendy's runs : Burgers, the best fries, too much dipping sauce, and the long editing hours that only happen after dark.
- Hazel cuddle piles: weekends spent with our goldendoodle, guilty-pleasure TV binges, and the art of doing nothing (when our kiddo's at the babysitter of course).
- Chasing light in hidden spots: secret beaches, cool trails, and uncovering PEI's best-kept secrets.
- Eggs Benny Sunday: where our secret hollandaise recipe reigns supreme (and yes, we'll fight anyone who says store-bought is better).
- Cocktail hour, anytime: our bar never rests (and it's the most stacked in PEI LOL).
WHY WE DO THIS
Because your wedding isn't just a day... it's the first chapter of your legacy. We're here to capture photos that don't just show your love, but feel like it: raw, unfiltered, and bursting with the kind of happy that can't be staged. Whether you're saying "I do" on a PEI cliffside or dancing in a Toronto alleyway, we're not just documenting moments, we're making sure they're remembered forever. The kind of magic that'll make your grandkids gasp and say: Damn, they looked so cool!
Ready to make us your forever hype squad? Let's laugh, plan, and create something that'll make future generations wish they'd been there!
