Leah and Randy - Victoria, B.C.

I normally say a few things about the wedding, but words seem a little weak for this one.  Leah was gorgeous and somehow assembled the best looking wedding party I've seen in a long time!  The classic home in Victoria along with a majestic harbourfront hotel was an idyllic setting!  ENOUGH SAID!

Mike & Anna!



Aside from being a model couple in generosity and grace, these two were a MODEL couple in every other way!  Anna - you're beautiful and Mike, well, hey, ... yo....dude! :)

This was a super fun shoot and with my assistant Reyn to add to the portfolio mix, the day couldn't have gone better from my perspective.  From beaches to alleys to farmhouses, Anna and Mike were up for it all .... what long ceremony?  Some of these pics have got to be award winning or something!  Look who I had to work with eh?!  Oh, and with 2 fun and great looking kids, I couldn't resist the lure of photogenic smiles and attitudes from the yung 'uns!

I really look forward to meeting with you guys after you get back from somewhere cool !!!  







                                Okay, somebody here just doesn't belong!!

Mitch and Carrey - An Emotional Day!











If I had to think of a bride whose day included more meaningful and emotional symbolism than Carrey's I'm not sure I could come up with one!  Carrey was looking forward to this day more than anyone I've photographed in some time.  Aside from a tight time schedule and hot sun, we couldn't have asked for more ideal circumstances.  Much love to you 2 from us!

Jocelyn & Daniel - hitched!













If a picture is worth a thousand words, then ...... well ...... enough said!

There are so many more photos I can't wait to show everyone!  Thanks to Jocelyn and Daniel for indulging my "weirdness" and travelling to some pretty scary urban, cruddy locations!

ENJOY!

Random Thoughts


Here's just a funky shot that caught my attention awhile ago during a scary and cold afternoon wedding shoot on a rocky beach in Hamilton, ON.  We did get what we hoped for just before the rain let loose!

Jennifer & David's Wedding

We love trying out new shooting techniques, locations and photo treatment options. All your comments keep us encouraged and in high gear. Keep your comments coming – we’re pumped!
Can you imagine a gorgeous bride who threw on hiking shoes and trekked through thick forest to get to a dirty, oily, smelly train bridge for some spectacular shots where most would fear to tread? Well, that’s what Jennifer was all about this past weekend. It’s always encouraging when we hear comments from our brides who trust us completely for locations, styles and finishing techniques for our photos. Thanks Jen and Dave for being real troopers!! We try to stick to locations where we have NEVER seen another bride. Photographers keep asking us for our secrets and trying to track down our locations, but we’ll keep finding new ones! It’s what we do! Enjoy the pics and feel free to leave comments, talk shop or whatever you’d like!

Candice & Ron

Congratulations are going out to Candice and Ron, one of the sweetest, kindest and cutest couples! These two tied the knot in Niagara Falls on one of the nicest Saturdays we've had so far this year! And I just have to mention that the bridesmaids wore one of my favourite colours of blue; in fact I'm pretty sure I have a room in my home painted in the same colour (he he he)! No detail was overlooked and it turned out to be a fantastic day! Congrats again you two!

Jennifer & David

Shout out to Tara at Planned to a T - this wedding rocked! Never has a wedding day gone so well and I do believe that a huge part of that had to do with the tremendous work that happened before the big day by wedding planner Tara Santo. Jennifer and David were so relaxed, fun and totally in LOVE! We had an awesome day of shooting...and I must say, (tee hee hee) the food at the Chateau was soooo good! Congratulations you two!

Danna & Carlo

Yes this day sure had emotion – more than the powerful feelings of the bride and groom though…! This day went from beautiful to scary dark, to rain at the exact moment photos were to begin, then back to ultra sunny! Oh, and did we mention the 7 other wedding parties fighting for space in downtown Kleinburg??! In the end, it was an awesome day with an exceptionally nice couple! We really, really wish you guys the best of all things in life! Thanks for the opportunity to do what we love, by creating something you’ll love!
