Jill + Scott | Photo Booth
I ran a photo booth at Jill & Scott’s awesome vintage style wedding last night at the Inn at Christie’s Mill in Port Severn. It was my first attempt and it was AMAZING! Everyone had fun. It was super easy to use. I had the guests triggering the booth with a remote when they were [...]
Greg + Christina | Married
Christina was referred to me by the wonderful wedding cinematographer Andrew Sorlie of Honey and Dear. Greg and Christina had booked another wedding photographer who had cancelled on them fairly close to their wedding date. Luckily, I was available to photograph their wedding for them. They had a beautiful ceremony at Bear Estate at Cranberry [...]
Melanie + Aaron | Married!
I’m so excited to share the latest wedding I shot with the magnificent Sarah Guy from Labour of Love Photography. Sarah’s awesome and it’s always a great time shooting with her. Melanie and Aaron were probably the most excited to be engaged couple I’ve ever met. I did their engagement shoot well over a year [...]
Lindsay + Will | Married!
I’ve been wanting to tell you about Lindsay and Will’s wedding for a while now. I showed up at their place to shoot Lindsay and her bridesmaids. I got there as they were finishing getting ready and took some candids before pulling them into the backyard for some fun shots. We trucked it on over [...]
Jeff + Christine | Married!
I’ve been hanging on to this one for a long time. Jeff and Christine already have their album delivered and in their hands, so it’s been a while. I usually try to show you fresher stuff, but I’ve been short on time as of late and haven’t been blogging much. I shot this wedding way [...]
Big Sky
Just a quicky post today, a recent favorite from a wedding that I was second shooting with Adam Belnap at Deer Creek Golf Club in Ajax, Ontario. Enjoy your long weekend!
Alex + Keren | Married!
Alex and Keren were married at Bear Estate, Cranberry Resort in Collingwood.
Awesome Wedding Pro – Flowers by Design
Nicole is another fantastic wedding vendor here in Barrie. She has a wonderful little flower and gift shop tucked into the corner of Huronia and Big Bay called Flowers by Design. I’m not going to pretend I know a lot about flowers, but she put together a bouquet for my wife that I’m still getting [...]
Awesome Wedding Pro – Sorlie Arts
I met Andrew Sorlie a while back at a photographer’s pub night. That’s right, we get together and drink beer and talk cameras. Only thing is, Andrew’s not a photographer per se. He’s a wedding cinematographer. And he’s wicked at it. We’ve met up a few times since then, most recently at a workshop called [...]
Karen and Roger
The last thing any bride wants to see the morning of her wedding is a gloomy, ominous sky. She doesn’t want to hear the word rain during the weather forecast either. When Karen woke up on the morning of her wedding day that’s exactly what she saw and exactly what she heard. I’m never really [...]
Jen & Chester
Jen and Chester are the coolest! First off any bride that wears white Converse All-Stars gets cool points. Second, the inspired choice of venue – an art gallery – more cool points. Jen’s a local high school teacher and Chester’s job is really exciting and top secret, like accountant or something. Anyways, I met them [...]
Cyndi and Johnny
I got contacted by Cyndi and Johnny just two weeks before their wedding. They had decided that they didn’t want to go without wedding photography at the last minute and luckily I was available on their wedding day. They got married in Sudbury on the only sunny day all week. I made the four hour [...]
Hal and Diane
My wife and I flew out to Calgary to shoot Hal and Diane’s wedding. I took a lot of detail shots and here’s a few of my favorites. Diane is a huge Coke memorabilia collector, so I thought it would be appropriate to shoot the rings on a vintage soda bottle. The bride had killer [...]
Erin and Jason
Wow, it’s a long way to North Bay. Especially when you go up in the morning, shoot a wedding and drive back the same night, so you can shoot the MMA Expo the next two days. Erin and Jason are awesome people. Their wedding was a beautiful, intimate affair with only about 35 guests. The [...]
Songs for a first dance
How do you pick “your” song? Not always an easy thing to do, for sure. Instead of whatever is hot on the radio right now, please, for the love of whatever deity suits you, choose a song that means something to you. Do you have any idea how many people have to admit their song [...]
Wedding Day Timetable
I recently had a conversation with a young bride via the Facebook group “North Country Weddings” (shameless plug) – she was asking if I could recommend a planner that could handle the schedule of the wedding day. She was concerned about when to cut the cake, do the first dance, toss the bouquet and the [...]
Trish and James
I recently traveled to Cornwall for my friend Trish’s wedding. Trish had asked me to shoot her wedding but I opted out so that I could celebrate her wedding as a guest and spend some time with my wife and instead referred her to a couple of photographers in her area. It was a nice [...]
What else is going on at a wedding?
Here’s an image that was taken at a wedding with no bride or groom in it. It’s the groom’s dad lighting up a cigar. He had a bottle of whiskey given to him as a Christmas present when the groom was 2. At that time the dad had promised to keep the bottle and share [...]
Softness
This is a neat little shot that illustrates the love between the bride and groom. White roses represent innocence and purity and are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings. The roses in the front of the photograph mirror the sentiment of the moment. The selective focus and subdued lighting from the overcast sky gives [...]
Just The Boys
I shot a wedding with another photographer recently. He shot the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready, I shot the groom and the groomsmen as they got ready. When I’m shooting a bride getting ready, there’s photos of the dress, shoes, flowers, hair, and a ton of other details. Not to mention portraits of mothers, [...]
Shanna and Mike’s Wedding
The other week I was privileged to be able to photograph Shanna and Mike’s wedding. They were awesome! They were a ton of fun and really good sports. Even though the weather wasn’t the best and the temperature was cold they were outside most of the day freezing with huge smiles on. Weather that looks [...]
so tired…
This past weekend I shot at two weddings. Friday started at noon ending at 1:30am. Saturday was a lighter day, with no reception coverage, but was still a full eight hours. Oh did I mention that I was working until midnight all week, and had to be up for 7:00 so I could take Sydney [...]
