Hi, I’m Clifton Saulnier—a wedding photographer based in West Pubnico, Nova Scotia. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 14 years, but my love for art and storytelling started much earlier, back in school, where I learned composition through painting.

I approach weddings with a relaxed, photojournalistic style—offering just enough direction when needed, and then stepping back to let the real, meaningful moments unfold. As an introvert, I quietly take it all in, noticing the little things that often go unseen—but matter the most.

Outside of photography, I combine my love of images with a passion for programming. That mix led me to create LrSuperKeys—a Lightroom tool now used by photographers around the world to help make editing faster and more fun.

When I’m not behind the camera or writing code, you’ll usually find me playing hockey, working in the garden, strumming the guitar—or enjoying a really great cup of coffee. I live in West Pubnico with my wife Daphne, our son Kailen, his girlfriend Sydnee, and our mini labradoodle, Paisley.

I believe in staying present, taking things lightly, and paying attention to the moments that matter. That’s the energy I bring into every wedding I photograph—and what I hope comes through in every image.
