Around The World ~ A New Zealand 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!

ISPWP Award Winning Images – Winter 2010 Contest

It’s somewhat fitting and funny that while gearing up to watch the Oscar Awards, I would receive an email notifying me that not one, but three of my photos had been awarded in the ISPWP Winter 2010 Photo Contest! And to think, I had not even prepared a speech!

Looking through the galleries of all the winners, I can say that I am honored and quite humbled to have my imagery featured alongside that of some of the worlds most talented wedding photographers.

My images were awarded in the categories of Engagement Portrait, Bride Portrait & Emotional Impact.

Please take a look at the full winners gallery on the ISPWP website.

Candace & Chris ~ Cayman Island Wedding ~ Part 1

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!

Monica & Ray – A Beautiful November Wedding

It’s amazing, the beauty that can be found within the neutral tones that a brisk November day brings.
Monica and Ray’s wedding took place at St.Peter’s Cathederal and at the Embassy Grand in Brampton, Ontartio.
