A beautiful wedding

Yesterday I had the privilege to shoot a wedding for one of the sweetest clients I have met, and shot, to date. It wasn’t a large wedding, which made everything intimate and more relaxed. The weather outside wasn’t co-operating for photos, so I had planned ahead by packing my studio, and doing a setup in an unused ballroom there. My congratulations to the couple yet again, and I wish them happiness in their future together.

I want to personally thank the Coast Hotel for being so gracious and allowing me to use that room

 

If anyone is interested in having their wedding photos shot, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me!

As of late, my schedule has been rather packed! Whether its shooting live shows (latest being Paul Brandt) or my latest creative shoots, I have been slacking on keeping this up to date!

As I told you previously, I had shot a good friends family christmas card and was sadly unable to upload it at that time Well guess what?! They have given me the all clear and I am now able to

A portrait and thoughts

Its hard to break eye contact with him isn’t it?

The other day I had the opportunity to do a portrait of an old camera bug friend of mine, Mark. It was really a fun time sitting around chatting with a guy who still shoots with 35mm film. That’s right! 35mm FILM!

I have to say that after the shoot, I was really tempted to go home and dig out my old Pentax (yes, my first camera was a Pentax, not a Canon) and see how much I remember about bracketing! I kinda feel like the younger generation of photographers will be missing out on the experience of shooting and developing your own roll of film. Mind you, its been roughly 8 years since I’ve had the resources (or space) available to develop my own.

A Benedict Christmas

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of shooting my good friends, the Benedicts, christmas card. This is my favorite kind of client shoot, as both sides have some very non-tradional concepts towards this upcoming season, and they gave me full creative control Sorry folks, but there wont be any image spoilers until the cards have been printed and mailed out to families and friends… You can, however, check out their other family portrait I shot back in the summer (please see attached image).

For anyone interested in having a family portrait shot for christmas, there’s still time! Please enquire within

Remember them

 
November 11th, 2011.

Rememberance Day.

 Today is a day that we take a moment of silence and remember those in the armed forces who have given their lives in both past and present conflicts. Let us also remember those brave men and women who currently serve (or have served) in our armed forces.

Now please spare a moment to pay respects to all those who have sacrificed their lives to give us the freedom so many of us take for granted.

 

 

Im proud of you little brother.
