Debbie + Craig - 5th Wedding Anniversary - Slovak Legion
This past Friday I was lucky enough to photograph Debbie and Craig's 5th Wedding Anniversary at the Slovak Legion. It was an intimate affair which meant that I was able to sit back and look for special moments. It really is one of my favourite type of events, extremely low key. It also helped that of Debbie and Craig's family and friends were very easy going and fun to photograph.

I even got some good shots of the kids playing pool and of course, just before my time was up, I made sure to pull both Debbie and Craig away from the party to get some nice outdoor portraits.
The evening went by fast for me but I'm so happy with the photos I was able to capture!
Julie + Family Portraits - Wild Goose Bay
My latest portrait session took place at yet another location that I had never photographed at before, Wild Goose Bay. Julie wanted some family portraits while they were all visiting here in Thunder Bay, and also because it was her parents 50th wedding anniversary. I of course jumped at the chance.
As soon as I arrived at their house right on Wild Goose Bay, I introduced myself to the family and quickly scouted out their beautiful property. It was the middle of the afternoon so the biggest challenge was working with sun, but as long as you have shade, you can come away with some great photos.

The side of the house was painted blue and completely in the shade so were off to the races. I was able to capture some extremely natural posed family photos along with some great candids of the kids, who were full of energy.
Even though it was sunny, that was no reason to hide from it, so we also took advantage of the gorgeous view of Lake Superior and the Sleeping Giant. It was such a fun session and I couldn't believe just how natural everyone was in front of the camera. Everyone also had their own ideas for certain photos which I always encourage.
Not only was it a beautiful location, it was an equally beautiful family which I felt honoured to capture.
Maha + Kevin Portraits - Boulevard Lake
When Maha and Kevin contacted me to take their photos for their 1 year anniversary I got really excited. There is something about anniversaries that make these photo sessions that much more special. I could tell that they were a bit nervous to be in front of the camera at first but they quickly fell into stride. From there it was smooth sailing and it resulted in a lot of great photos.

The location was just across from Boulevard Lake. It's a nice little venue that has a great beach area with really cool rocks as well as some nice trails leading to Centennial Park. I must say, both Maha and Kevin were very easy going and quite adventurous. There were some tricky spots we had to walk to under the bridge and they didn't even hesitate. It was that type of flexibility and care free attitude that allowed me to get a lot of the photos you see below.
The hour went by super quick and I'm sure we could have even went longer! Thanks again to Maha and Kevin for inviting me to be part of their 1 year anniversary. Hopefully I get to see them again on their second one.
