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!

Candace & Chris ~ Cayman Island Wedding ~ Part 1

Wednesday, February 9, 2011 Posted in Photography, Wedding

It’s always a treat when I get to go somewhere new for a wedding and it’s even better when that ‘somewhere’ happens to be a tropical island in the Caribbean!

This past week I had the privlidge of flying down to the beautiful Grand Cayman Island to photograph the wedding of Candace and Chris at the luxurious Caribbean Club Resort. If you ever head to the Caymans, this is THE place to stay at.

Enjoy the photos!

It was a mighty cold day in Toronto when I departed. There was a modest 1 hour delay as they had to plow the runway and de-ice the aircraft.

It was a beautiful sight to see the beach of the Caribbean Club after driving through a snowstorm 4 hours earlier!

We ended up commandeering a pirate ship for an evening cruise on the open sea. Arrrrrr!

Sarah & Russ – The Wedding – Horseshoe Valley Resort

Saturday, August 22, 2009 Posted in Photography, Wedding

Fresh air, the scent of pine and a scenic vista set the scene for Sarah and Russel’s wedding at Horseshoe Resort, which is just outside of Barrie, Ontatio.

Some may recognize Sarah and Russel as the “Rockin’ Couple” from a Lifestyle / Engagement shoot that I did last year, which came complete with guitars and amps. Oh yes. Needless to say I have come to like this couple a lot and was excited to finally be photographing their wedding!

We found some fantastic locations for the ‘not so formal’ photos, including a vibrant canola field which made for a fantastic backdrop for Sarah in her beautiful dress!

I also have to thank Ryan Rowell, of Rowell Photography, for being an awesome second photographer and for putting up with the ridiclous amount of gear that I made him carry. I swear, I am learning to pack lighter!
