2022 Wedding Highlights
My 2022 wedding season was one to remember. I’m very thankful to all the couples who put all their trust in me to capture their wedding day. Here are 100 of my favourite photos from the year. I could have easily included many, many more photos.
Paula + Joe Family Portraits - Government Road
I was so glad the weather was once again nice for an outdoor family session. This time around I travelled out to Government Road to photograph Paula, Joe and their family. It was such a big and beautiful property. We came away with a nice mix of posed and candid photos.
Nathan + Family Portraits - Centennial Conservatory
For my recent family session were did a mix of indoors and outdoors. The location of choice was the Centennial Conservatory, which is one of the nicest indoor spots in town. After capturing some photos with the beautiful backdrop inside, we finished off with some nice winter shots in the snow outside.
Shannon + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
It was a very snowy but extremely fun session this afternoon with Shannon and her family. It felt good to get out and capture some great moments with everyone!
U9 Westfort Maroons Hockey Session - Grandview Arena
My last hockey session of the year was with the amazing group of kids on the U9 Westfort Maroons. After capturing their portraits in the locker room we headed to the ice for the team photo and of course, some action shots during their practice. I got a lot of great moments!
Neebing U11A Hawks Hockey Session - Neebing Arena
It was time for another hockey session last night. The Neebing U11A Hawks were the stars of the show this time around. As usual, I captured a bunch of locker room portraits, the team photo on the ice, and of course, plenty of action shots during their practice.
Thunder Bay Beavers Hockey Session - Port Arthur Arena
My hockey session with the Thunder Bay Beavers a short while ago was the oldest team I have had the pleasure of photographing so far. It was a great time and I love how the on ice portraits turned out. It was a nice change from the locker room versions I usually do. With that being said, I love both styles. As usual, I captured a ton of candid photos as well as on ice action. It was a super fun session!
U13A Current River Comets - Grandview Arena
I had another fun hockey session, this time with the U13A Current River Comets at Grandview Arena. As usual, we go some amazing locker room portraits of each player. While waiting for the ice to be cleaned, I snapped a few locker room candids as well. This is definitely something I want to do more of if time permits. All in all it was a great session!
Biigtigong Youth Hockey Mentorship Program Day 1 - Marathon Recreation Complex
I had the pleasure of driving down to Marathon last weekend to photography a couple of hockey teams for the Biigtigong Youth Hockey Mentorship Program. It was such an amazing experience and I got to spend time with some amazing kids (and parents). Stay tuned for another post, showing highlight from the 2nd day as well.
ONWA Poetry Night 2022 - The Chanterelle
ONWA hosted their annual Poetry Night last month and it was the biggest one yet. I couldn’t believe how many people registered to attend. It was evening of amazing food, moving poetry and of course fantastic live performances.
Erin + Family Portraits - Cascades
It was a short session this evening with Erin and her family but we came away with some really nice photos. Here are a few of my favourites.
Chelsea + Patrick Family Session
It’s been a while since I have done a home session with a couple. So it felt really good to visit Chelsea and Patrick today, and of course their kitty, for some nice authentic and candid photos. I’m still surprised it took me 5 minutes into the session to realize how big of a Bills fan Patrick was. We of course ended the session with their game watching outfits, which was just so perfect!
Cheyanne + Jason Wedding - Fort William Historical Park
My last wedding of the year was definitely one to remember and a fitting end to a crazy and fun year. Cheyanne and Jason had their wedding at Fort William Historical Park, which, as I mentioned on many occasions, is one of the most beautiful locations in town.
Matawa Health Co-operative - Diabetes Awareness Walk
Matawa Health Co-operative hosted its first Diabetes Awareness Walk earlier this week at Intercity Shopping Centre. The purpose was to bring awareness to diabetes, which a major concern amongst young Indigenous people within the Matawa region where access to quality resources, education and diabetes management teams are limited.
Current River Comets - Grandview Gardens
My latest hockey photo session was with the Current River Comets at Grandview Gardens. Amongst the chaos in the dressing room we managed to get player portraits of each of the kids in there. Then it was time to get out on the ice for the group shot, and something a little bit different this time around.
Remembrance Day 2022 - Waverley Park
Highlights from this year’s Remembrance Day service at Waverley Park in Thunder Bay.
Alisha + Kih Portraits - Trowbridge Falls
My recent mini-session with Alisha + Kih at Trowbridge Falls had about 3 different weather systems in the span of 30 minutes, but that made for an extremely fun and spontaneous session. It started with overcast skies, then quickly turned to large hail and eventually to clearing skies.
Ingrid + Vince Wedding - Delta Hotels by Marriott
My second last wedding of the year was a family affair, which is was a nice change of pace. That doesn’t mean it was an easy day though. I still worked just as hard, if not harder, than my usual wedding days. With that being said, it was really nice knowing a lot of people at a wedding.
Alexa Family Portraits - Centennial Park
My second session of the day was with Alexa and her 3 wonderful children. Right from the start, we made our way up into the forest using the path and the session flew by. All 3 of the little ones were absolutely fearless. They were running, climbing, falling and rolling around. It was a fun and chaotic session, with a lot of great little moments that I did my best to capture.
Kaylee + Carter Portraits - Baseball Central
It was that time of year for my annual session with Kaylee and Carter. This time around Lincoln and Vicki picked a slightly different location in Baseball Central. The main reason being for the nice fall colours surrounding the park, and secondly, because it has a lot of memories too.
