Hello from Jamaica Mon!

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 Posted in Photography, Wedding

It’s always fun heading somewhere exotic to shoot, and doing so with good friends at your side is just the icing on the cake.

This week I am in Jamaica at the Gran Bahia Resort (Runaway Bay)  photographing my good friend Ryan as he ties the knot with his beau Michelle. I worked with Ryan for a number of years when I was a graphic designer, and was excited when I was invited to play the role of guest / photographer at the wedding!

I will be editing the photos from the wedding over the next few days, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I will post a pretty cool photo from the other night – a view from my hotel room, with Hurricane Rita in the background!

Lisa & Johan ~ A Little Bit Of Magic.

Saturday, October 8, 2011 Posted in Engagement, Photography

Sometimes things are just right.

The light falls at precisely the right angle.
The humidity in the air creates an airy softness.
You have an amazing & fun loving couple to work with.
The creativity is spontaneous.

Last nights shoot was made of magic.

I first photographed Lisa & Johan in the middle of the winter last year. They loved their photos sooooo much, that they requested to do another shoot in the summer, so that they could have a variety of imagery to  cherish and share.

As you can tell, I am very happy with the photos!

Quick Shot – Rain drops and lollipops.

Wednesday, May 25, 2011 Posted in Engagement, Photography, Portraits

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!

Around The World ~ A New Zealand Wedding

Monday, May 9, 2011 Posted in News, Photography, Wedding

As some of you may have noticed, the blog has received little attention over the past few months… so it’s time to blow off the dust!

I was actually out of the country for the past while, in places such as the Cayman Islands, Washington DC, Australia and New Zealand. In the month of April alone, I logged over 50 hours of air time, which is a new personal record!  I will be sharing photos from these adventures over the next little while (you have already seen some of the ones from the Cayman’s) so stay tuned.

While in New Zealand, I was also honored to take part in my best friend Ian’s wedding. I was a groomsman, so I tried extra hard to keep my camera packed away for the evening (they did have a hired photographer), but I just could not help but take a few snaps when I could.

One thing that these photos prove, is that weather should never be a reason for missing out on great shots – as you can see, it’s dark and pouring out!

Ian & Claire – I had an amazing time at your wedding and am looking forward to visiting again sometime soon! Love you guys!

Johan & Lisa ~ A Night in Toronto

Thursday, March 3, 2011 Posted in Engagement, Photography

I love night shoots!

If you ask almost any photographer what the best time to shoot is, they will likely speak of the “Golden Hour” and the soft warm light associated with the magical, near twilight, time of day. But if you ask me, the best time to shoot is when the sun goes down and the city lights take over with an orchestra of color. Greens, blues, yellows… It’s a great time to play with the ambient light temperatures and create dynamic imagery.

For this winter shoot, Johan, Lisa and myself explored the city, looking for great light – while trying to stay warm!
