Rockin’ The Dress in Jamaica!

Normally, I post my Rock The Dress sessions after I have hooked my readers with succulent images from the wedding day, but this time I simply couldn’t resist posting things a little early!

As you may have gathered from my last post, I was at the Gran Bahia Principe in Jamaica this past week with Michelle & Ryan as they took the plunge into married life. I suppose that these images are a bit of a visual interpretation of just that!

On a technical note, for the”Plunge” image, we only had one chance and one shutter press to get it right. All of the lighting was set up and tested just before walking the couple to the edge and counting down! The entire process took maybe 10 minuites, as the light was falling very quickly.

Aneesh & Dave ~ An Eglington Grand Wedding!

If you are going to have a grand wedding, you may as well make it an Eglington Grand wedding!

When my good friend Dave (of Dave & Charlotte Photographers – link) asked if I could help him out by shooting portraits and the wedding reception of a cool Indian couple at one of Toronto’s landmark wedding venues, I really couldn’t help but say “yes!”.  Aneesh & Dave were wonderful to work with – very laid back and easy to direct, which made capturing great photos that much easier. Just a wonderful day for all!

The photos below are just a sample of whats to come. Please check out Dave & Charlottes website for the full wedding, which will be posted in a  few weeks time.

Thank you so much for having me at your event!

Amanda & Kevin ~ Engagement Signing Book

Happy Canada Day and Independence Day everyone!

I just thought I would post the album spreads from a little Engagement Signing Book that I have been working on. For those of you who don’t really know what these are all about (and why they are so cool), it’s a 8 x 10 photo book that  contains both stunning photos as well as blank areas for guests to sign / write short messages in.

These books are a great way to display engagement / lifestyle photographs!

ISPWP Award Winning Images – Spring 2011 Contest

I am once again extremely honored to have my photos selected as winning entries in the ISPWP’s (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) Spring Photo Contest!

The first photo placed 2nd in the “Kids will be Kids” category and was taken at Trish & Paul’s beautiful winter wedding. The all-too-cute flower girl was shying away from all of the attention she was getting, which made for a perfect photo as she hid behind her crinoline filled dress!

The second photo placed a respectable 10th in the highly competitive “Bridal Portrait” category. You will likely recognize the shot from Sarah & Naomi’s wedding slide show which was just posted the other week. The black on black wedding dress and kilts, combined with edgy posing and a great location, made for a striking image. On a side note, a similar photo of the bridal party was just published in Vogue Patterns Magazine… cool! [:

A big thanks goes out to my couples for providing me with these amazing moments to capture!

Quick Shot – Rain drops and lollipops.

I’m currently in the studio listening to the thunder, while my sopping wet clothes dry from tonight’s FUN engagement shoot with Amanda & Kevin.

A little (or a lot) of rain can be a great natural element to play with!
