Testimonials: April 2009<br/><br/>Hi Joe:<br/><br/>We watched our DVD last night and if it wasn't so late we would have called you to say what a wonderful job you did!! Thank you so very much. We wish you all the best and you can certainly count on us for a reference any time!<br/><br/>Regards, Jean and Scott <br/><br/>April 2009<br/><br/>Hi Joe<br/><br/>I have already shown My photographs to lots of people. And they are all asking who is the photographer ? Joe Chater Moment In Time. It was such a wet, stormy day and when I arrived at your studio I looked like I had been buffeted by the weather. It is fair to say my hair looked a little wind blown. It was great photo session. You paid a lot of attention to how I was posed and the lighting and my different outfits. I was relaxed and comfortable and<br/><br/>it certainly shows in my photographs.<br/><br/>A couple of people thought that these were glamour shots My retirement photo... a glamour shot. Wow<br/><br/>They thought you did my hair and make-up and had costumes for me to play with. <br/><br/>You have captured my different personalities with these poses and enhanced them so they are special.<br/><br/>You managed to tame my hair and soften the image that I look wonderful and polished and still look like me.<br/><br/>We talked about how important it is to me to be the Fairy Godmother for the Children's Wish Foundation.<br/><br/>I twirled and spun and danced and laughed and you took this magical photograph. It looks like I am saying Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo. <br/><br/>Thank you for these wonderful photographs.<br/><br/>Jan 2009<br/><br/>We chose Nova Scotia as our destination for our wedding as we wanted to truly capture the wonderful autumnal colours on our special day,<br/><br/>Coming from Northern Ireland we just don't have such wonderful colours in the autumn.<br/><br/>Joe of Moments in Time Photography was recommended to us by our wedding consultant and I have to say that Joe and his crew did not disappoint us. Joe traveled up to Cape Breton on the day before our wedding and met up with us to discuss what we wanted out of the wedding pictures, he also used his time to scout out suitable locations for pictures.<br/><br/>On the day everything went according to plan and Joe truly did capture the essence of what we wanted to achieve. The full vibrant autumnal colours were incorporated into our pictures as well as the natural beauty of Baddeck. We had great difficult in choosing our final selection from so many wonderful pictures.<br/><br/>Joe captured us and our guests in our most relaxed state and the intimate off guard pictures obtained truly reflect on what a wonderful day it was. Most of the time we were not even aware of Joe’s presence clicking away on the cameras.<br/><br/>He made us all feel truly relaxed and at ease. Lucia and I would both like to thank you for capturing such wonderful and precious moments on our wedding day.<br/><br/>Once again thanks for the great job…<br/><br/>Richard and Lucia Turner<br/><br/>Northern Ireland<br/><br/>17 December 2008<br/><br/>Throughout the process, we have been very impressed with your fast and courteous service. You have always been very sensitive and accommodating to our needs, and the quality of the finished product has been terrific. We are delighted with our photographs and the coffee table book, which is a great way to mark a milestone occasion.<br/><br/>Heather<br/><br/>General Counsel | Avocate généraleLegal Services/Services juridiques<br/><br/>Ottawa (Ontario)<br/><br/>Government of Canada | Gouvernement du Canada<br/><br/>10 December 2008<br/><br/>Joe;<br/><br/>Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed working with you on our wedding day. From the day we met you and Janane we knew we made the right choice.<br/><br/>We appreciate everything you've done to make our wedding day a great success. It isn't easy to plan a wedding from another province and thank you for fitting us in each time we were back home on short notice.<br/><br/>We are very pleased with all of our photos and the way your team handled everything. From the morning of the wedding at Ashley's home to the church for the ceremony and the reception afterwords, you caught every moment we could imagine and more. Going through the pictures, there is always something new we see and we couldn't be more happy with the end result. Your creativity and vision is among the best either of us have seen and we know we have made the right decision with MIT Photography. Thanks again, we look forward to our next session with you and your team!<br/><br/>Ashley and Adam Fougere<br/><br/>Quispamsis, NB<br/><br/>December 1, 2008<br/><br/>Scott and I would like to thank you and your team for your professionalism, patience, and expertise throughout our wedding experience!<br/><br/>I first became aware of you and your work at a Bridal Show in September 2007. Your wife was at a booth and I was looking at some of your pictures. I was impressed that the pictures showed originality.<br/><br/>I contacted you and we arranged a meeting. We then had an opportunity to further look at some of your work. We had our engagement picture taken with you and we were both pleased with the results.<br/><br/>We met a couple more times at before our wedding and you certainly put all my concerns to rest.<br/><br/>At our wedding rehearsal you arrived at the appointed time to go over our ceremony and discuss what was and was not allowed in the church.<br/><br/>On our wedding day, you and your team showed up at my home on time and went right to work. When you said 'continue on as if we are not here' you certainly meant it. It was great not to worry about you.<br/><br/>You were also very mindful of time and never caused any delays which was very important to us.<br/><br/>We are so very pleased with the results. The hardest part for us was picking from the numerous pictures you took.<br/><br/>To have more than one photographer is now, to me, very important as nothing is missed on that special day.<br/><br/>Weddings are expensive but things like flowers, dresses are only for the day. Pictures last a lifetime.<br/><br/>Scott and I would like to thank you for all that you have done for us.<br/><br/>Sincerely, Jean<br/><br/>Jean V. Webb<br/><br/>N.S. DEPT OF JUSTICE<br/><br/>October 17, 2008<br/><br/>I wanted to, on behalf of myself, my mother, sister and Grandmother; thank you. We received the photos while she was here and she absolutely loved them. We all did, they were beautiful and the thumbnails did them no justice in comparison to the real copy.<br/><br/>I also wanted to say we will be in touch again soon for a Christmas order<br/><br/>Regards<br/><br/>Brad Matheson<br/><br/>Brantford, Ontario<br/><br/>September 30, 2008<br/><br/>My sisters and I recently had a family portrait taken at MIT with Joe. Our experience was more then what we could have asked for. Joe was a very personable and professional photographer, and was very knowledgeable about what he was doing. As a family we get our Portrait done every 3 years for our parents, and this experience with MIT was by far our best! We walked into the studio with an idea of what we wanted; we left with more then what we could have asked for! His ideas and shots were perfect! There were too many great pictures to pick from in the end, and needles to say our parents were more then pleased with the results! I would recommend Joe, and Moments In Time Photography to anyone! Again thanks again Joe for your great service, and I assure you , we'll be back!<br/><br/>The Steele Family!!!<br/><br/>September 22, 2008<br/><br/>“We asked Joe to help us out with our small wedding service that was held at our home. Joe was extremely professional and competent. We were impressed with his willingness to view the site in advance to determine lighting needs, etc. On the day of the wedding Joe and his assistant arrived in plenty of time to set up. He was able to take some very candid and artistic shots as we were in the final stages of preparation. During the ceremony he was able to capture the entire ceremony without once being in the way. The shots that he took were very well done. He is a skilled photographer who can capture the essence of the moment. The resulting photos demonstrated much more than the capturing of memories. They were artistic and creative.â€�<br/><br/>Thanks Joe. We will use your services when we next need a good photographer.<br/><br/>Michael, Ph.D R.Psych.<br/><br/>Psychologist, Capital District Health Authority<br/><br/>Associate Professor, Dalhousie University<br/><br/>August 26, 2008<br/><br/>With my grandmother's 100th birthday quickly approaching, I set out to find a photographer in Nova Scotia for the event while I live in Ontario. This was not an easy task from that distance. After cold calling several photographers in the area and viewing their websites, it didn't take long for me to choose Moments In Time Photography out of the list of others. My endless questions were answered, information clarified, the date was secured and Joseph remained patient through it all. On the day of birthday party, Joseph and Mike arrived early and quickly set out doing their thing. Their patience amidst the chaos and confusion of trying to organize that many people for various shots was impressive. They were able to control the situation, capture the photos that were requested, soothe ruffled feathers of family members and had impatient guests laughing. Joseph and Mike did a fantastic job. They captured the moments we'd requested plus ones we hadn't thought of. They made my grandmother feel like the belle of the ball and knew when to let her rest a bit. They were confident in their photography and people skills and it shows in their work. Joseph & Mike, thank you again for all you did to capture the memory of that day. Lianne M <br/><br/>August 11, 2008<br/><br/>When Ian and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding, we wanted someone who could bring our vision of our wedding to life. When we met Joe and Janane we knew we had found the right people to capture our day. I was completely comfortable our whole wedding day because I knew that the photographs were going to look stunning. The day of our wedding the location that we had picked didn't work out so on the spot Joe came up with another location. Joe was awesome and his team were fantastic. After our big day, I took a look at the pictures and they were phenomenal. The setting was perfect and the poses were great. Joe had a lot of great ideas for our photographs. I'm more than happy with the service and the quality that Joe has given us. We are truly blessed to have had Joe as our photographer for our wedding day:)<br/><br/>Thanks so much for everything,<br/><br/>Melissa and Ian Donihee<br/><br/>July 17, 2008<br/><br/>Joe and his team were great to work with!! We originally thought that we would have like to have our pictures taken at one location, but once we arrived there the tides and weather were not looking so pretty. Joe had no problem relocating and because of his flexibility we were able to find a beautiful spot for our engagement pictures.<br/><br/>At first posing for pictures seemed a bit awkward, but soon after we started it all became very natural. Joe and his team created a very comfortable atmosphere while capturing amazing photos. We are very pleased with what Moments In Time Photography has given us thus far..........and we cannot wait to see how the pictures from the wedding turn out...I am sure they will be just as amazing:) Thank you so much for making our experience a memorable one!!!!<br/><br/>Cheryl Kielbratowski<br/><br/>"Joe and his Moments in Time Photography Team were extremely professional and totally client-focussed. Joe made the photo shoot process very simple for me and the results were amazing, creative images which truly captured the moment.

It was fantastic to see all the photos on your website and to be able to choose the ones I especially liked.

It was very much appreciated.<br/><br/>Yours sincerely,<br/><br/>Erika Ehses<br/><br/>Our experience with Moments in Time photography was nothing less than excellent.

Thank you for all your time... great work.<br/><br/>Kim May 22, 2008<br/><br/>When planning our wedding there were a lot of big decisions to be made, one of the most important was finding a photographer to capture one of the most important days of our lives. Since we were living in Alberta and our wedding was to take place in Nova Scotia we had to rely on websites and the help of my Mom. My Mom would find a certain photographer and then I would look at their website. At first I was very frustrated with this process; I couldn’t seem to find anyone that suited my taste, until my Mom mentioned a photographer that she had meet at a bridal show in Halifax. She was very pleased with Janane and by what she had seen. She then directed me to the website; this is where I finally found what I was looking for. Upon looking at all of the variety of photos that Joe had taken I was very impressed and knew that this was the kind of work I wanted done for my wedding. After discussing it with Ryan and my Mom we decided that Moments In Time were definitely the right choice for us.<br/><br/>Our first introduction to Joe and Janane was for our engagement photo shoot. Right away we felt welcome and at ease in their presence. Joe had a lot of great ideas and we knew right away that he knew what he was doing. He was very professional and took our shoot very seriously. At the shoot we also discussed what we would like done at the wedding. Joe had a lot of great ideas and tips on how to make our pictures turn out just the way we wanted them. When we were finished shooting, we were able to see our photos right away and choose which one we wanted to use for our engagement picture. Once we were done and had left the shoot, we were very excited for our wedding day and our photographs.<br/><br/>On the day of the wedding Joe arrived at my parent’s house a couple hours prier to the wedding along with his 2 assistants. This enabled him to get all the intimate shots that I wanted at home with my family and the bridesmaids. It was wonderful to have them there to capture every special moment of our day, the assistants were more than helpful to Joe as well as to myself, and I was very impressed at how professional they were, although I never expected anything less with Joe.<br/><br/>Upon leaving my house, Joe went to the church with his crew to capture some pictures of Ryan and the groomsmen. He was also able to set up his equipment in a timely fashion so that every picture he took turned out more than perfect. Every one of my guests was impressed with Joe and his crew during the ceremony. I myself never knew that they were there, but they had the photos to prove it! From the moment I exited the car to the moment I entered it again with my husband, Joe was there making sure not to miss a shot. From the lighting to the timing, each photo not only looked professional and beautiful, but when looking at them, I can remember every feeling that I was having at that moment, and it was most important to us that our photos would remind us of our wedding day. This continued on throughout the day and into the night right up until we had our first dance. Before the night was over Joe had returned to the reception with 2 photos in hand for our parents; that was icing on the cake! It was wonderful to be able to have a small glimpse of our day before it was even over. <br/><br/>When we returned to Alberta, Joe made sure that he put all of our pictures on his website, so that we and our families could easily go through them and pick out the pictures that we wanted to go to print. When you look back on your wedding day, you want to do so with no regrets, and by having Moments In Time as our photographers we can most definitely say that we have no regrets. Joe and his team made our day more memorable then we could have hoped for and we cannot thank them enough for every thought, detail and effort that they put into our day.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Melissa & Ryan Drayton Valley, AB <br/><br/>March 14, 2008 Thanks Joe and all the shots look great, you're awesome!<br/><br/>Brock Z103.5 <br/><br/>Tuesday, September 04, 2007<br/><br/>We recently had an engagement photo session with Joe and his team. We decided to have our session at Lawrencetown Beach and upon meeting with Joe there, we definitely knew we made the right choice. Joe showed great vision and professionalism and gave us everything we could imagine and more. Such a variety of pictures, it makes it very difficult to choose the right picture.<br/><br/>After working with Joe for a short engagement session we are even more excited to work with him during our wedding next summer. We would strongly recommend Moments In Time for anyone.<br/><br/>Ashley and Adam Quispamsis, NB<br/><br/>When my husband and I first started to search for our photographer, we knew we wanted someone who we could rely on. We wanted someone who would have a "plan B" if anything was to go wrong and most importantly someone who could take awesome pictures. My husband and I had contacted a few places but none of them was to our satisfaction. Our Search continued until we attended a Bridal Show at the Halifax Holiday Inn. This is where we met the Moments In Time staff. They were such nice people , and by their politeness, professionalism and the work that they showed us, we knew that they could capture all of my special moments the way that I wanted them to be captured. They were also very willing to travel the long distance from Dartmouth, to Bridgewater where my wedding was being held.<br/><br/>A couple of days later, I got a call for a consultation, and on the day of the consultation is when I decided that Moments In Time Photography was definitely who I wanted. At this time my wedding was booked for December 1st 2007, a couple of months later, because of personal reasons my husband and I decided to change our wedding day to August 18th 2007. When I called Moments In Time Photography to tell them about the date change, they were very considerate and understanding that a December wedding was no longer what I wanted. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulder when I heard that they had my new wedding day open and they could still do my wedding. Even though they only had three months notice they were still more than willing to be a part of my day.<br/><br/>I want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding as our photographer, I couldn't have asked for anything better! Our pictures are beautiful and you captured my special moments the I wanted them just as I knew you would.<br/><br/>I would recommend you to anyone that I know. You did a great job. Thank<br/><br/>You.<br/><br/>Mr and Mrs LeBlanc <br/><br/>Hello Moments In Time Photography,<br/><br/>When we first started planning our wedding in December we were faced with trying to find a photographer that was able to capture our wedding the way we envisioned it. After doing background research on many of the studios in and around the Halifax Regional Municipality, we were incredibly pleased to be able to find Joe Chater and his team. We had a very tight schedule since we were moving to another province and Joe and his wife were very accommodating for us before we had to leave. They were very kind when welcoming us to their studio and offered plenty of knowledge and advice.<br/><br/>From the moment Christine put on her dress all the way to the last dance, Joe and his team were always in the right place to capture great images. Joe has a wonderful artistic vision which lead to many very unique pictures that we would never had never thought of. He and his team were also very responsive to our requests for pictures that we had wanted from the beginning. Joe was even thoughtful enough to print one of our favorite pictures during the reception to give to our parents before he left for the night.<br/><br/>Their attention to detail and unique style made our wedding pictures a true reflection of our day and a testament to their abilities as professionals.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Brett and Christine<br/><br/>Edmonton, AB<br/><br/>Joe was our photographer of choice for our daughter's recent wedding...We soon found that choice to be the right one!His attention to detail,professionalism, and awareness of time constraints on the wedding day produced not only beautiful pictures, but also a happy wedding party!!He came with 2 assistants on the wedding day!<br/><br/>When booking the wedding and viewing the proofs, Janane displayed much patience and a true love for what she and Joe do.<br/><br/>I would recommend them to anyone requiring top quality photos,and especially wishing special effects.<br/><br/>Jennifer Manning<br/><br/>Moments in Time Photography<br/><br/>Graduation Photos:May 2007<br/><br/>I found Moments in Time Photography to have very reasonable pricing on the graduation packages, as well as they were exceptionally flexible with the timing for the session. I had a great experience and it was a pleasure dealing with Joe. There were many great photos to pick from; it was hard to choose just one. I am defiantly looking forward to have Joe cover other important events in my future.<br/><br/>Thanks again for all your great work,<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Erika <br/><br/>My wife and I were very pleased with the excellent quality of the photography and the shoot was very professionally done.<br/><br/>Grant <br/><br/>Re: Moments in Time Photography, HRM Nova Scotia <br/><br/>When Koreen and I were planning our wedding, we had a major hurdle, we were in Ottawa and the wedding was going to be at Peggy’s Cove. Our biggest obstacle was choosing a venue and a photographer. We took a trip down to Nova Scotia and managed to find a venue, our next problem was finding a photographer. You can only do so much with the internet and after that you have to go on faith. dealing with Joe Chater from Moments in Time Photography was quite reassuring. Anytime we emailed or called, he promptly contacted us and answered any questions we had. Joe was very flexible on his packages and we struck a great balance between coverage and number of pictures.<br/><br/>On our weeding day when Joe arrived, we were quite surprised to find that he had brought two assistants to help capture our day. We felt like we had our own paparazzi shooting our moments together. Joe paid special attention to the lighting conditions and instead of two hours of pictures and missing time with our guests. Joe would come and get us when the light (sunset) was just right for the perfect shot. Joe and his crew were very polite, professional, and just forceful enough to get you in the pose he needed. After we got back to Ontario, Joe had already posted the proofs on his website so we could look at the 2000 plus pictures that he had taken. It took a long time to find the final pictures for our album, not because of the sheer number but because there were so many great pictures to choose from. Even now when we show people our wedding pictures; they say that they never seen so many great pictures from one photographer. I have no reservations in recommending Moments in Time Photography; we had a GREAT experience and couldn’t have been happier.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Mike and Koreen South Mountain, ON <br/><br/>We just wanted to let you know you did a fantastic job at making us feel comfortable and at ease during our engagement photo session. You had so many great ideas of your own and you were courteous and open minded to our ideas. You were professional and kept the session fun, entertaining and relaxing. <br/><br/>We both can't wait for you to take pictures of us on our wedding day. We know we have the "BEST" team doing the job!<br/><br/>Best regards,<br/><br/>Tiffany & Denny <br/><br/>Again, you have done a great job, choosing from 1200 pics was really hard, as there were a ton of beautiful pictures.<br/><br/>Michael <br/><br/>Hi<br/><br/>Thanks again for your company's support in providing a donation to this year's televised auction in support of Special Olympics.<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/><br/>Kelly<br/><br/>Hi,<br/><br/>Everybody just loves our wedding photos, by the way! People have commented on how vibrant the colours are and how wonderful the shots are, especially the candid ones. Some people have said that those are the types of photos that they wanted but never got! We've told everyone about you.<br/><br/>Caroline & Deborah
