Patrick Chondon September 11, 2022

It was very last minute, but I got asked to second shoot a very special day with Olivia and Jacob. Their celebration of commitment/wedding was such an emotional and heartwarming day, that I am very thankful to have been a part of.

Eden + Chris Family Portraits

Patrick Chondon November 10, 2021

My second session out at Eden and Chris’s house in the country was so much fun. This time around they had a new puppy and even some rabbits, which we took advantage of near the end of the shoot. It doesn’t get much cuter than that!

Kim + Jeffrey Family Portraits

Patrick Chondon November 9, 2021

It was my second time photographing Kim and her family. The last time being just under 3 years ago!

That last session was during winter so it was inside. Since winter isn’t quite here yet, we got some good weather and did it outside, which worked out perfectly. They have a huge backyard so there was a ton of beautiful space to work with. Plus we got to watch the dogs chase each other around!

Cora + Family Portraits

Patrick Chondon October 15, 2021

It’s always great doing portraits for family. I still don’t know how we got so many dogs to pose for a photo like this? Luckily I took about 40 photos, and it was the last one that turned out! Good times.

Raiili + Family Portraits

Patrick Chondon August 15, 2021

My first of two portrait sessions today, was with Raiili and her whole family. It’s always great photographing a range of generations. It’s really important to document family like this, and I always jump at the chance to do so.

Busking from the Backyard 2021

Patrick Chondon July 26, 2021

It feels like forever since I have had the opportunity to not only watch live music, but also photographic it. So as soon as I hear, Busking from the Backyard was once again hosting their second event, I jumped at the opportunity to attend at least one day.

Caylene + Tim Wedding

Patrick Chondon July 20, 2021

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, backyard weddings are becoming the new normal, and also my favourite type of wedding. One of the main reasons why I enjoy photographing smaller weddings, is that you get to spend more time with the immediate family. Plus, they tend to be a lot more laid back, which lends itself to many more candid moments. Which I’m all about.

Kim + Family Backyard Portraits

Patrick Chondon July 10, 2021

My latest family session was out in the country at Kim and her family’s home. When possible, I always recommend doing sessions in this setting. It’s just such a great opportunity to not only get the usual group photos, but a lot of candids as well! Everyone is just so much more relaxed.

Lisa + Claudio Pre Wedding Celebration

Patrick Chondon March 22, 2021

Lisa and Claudio were supposed to get married this past weekend, but because of what is going on, it had to be pushed back until May. Well, that didn’t stop Lisa from still doing something special this weekend, which is exactly what she did. The result, I very small and intimate together with her closest friends. Seeing as how I’m her wedding photographer, she asked if I was interested in capturing an hour or so of the small celebration. I of course said yes!

Jacqueline + Jake Wedding

Patrick Chondon October 30, 2020

My last wedding of the year was such an amazing way to end the season. It was another intimate backyard ceremony, with close friends and relatives. As I mentioned before, if there is a bright side to the current restrictions, it’s that I get to do a lot more of these small weddings, which I absolutely love.

Lisa + Joel Backyard Wedding

Patrick Chondon June 29, 2020

My first wedding of the year was just as beautiful as I hoped it would be. Lisa and Joel decided to have a backyard wedding with just a few of their closest friends and family. As much as I enjoy shooting large weddings, it’s these intimate ones that really resonate with me. Before we arrived at the backyard ceremony, we started the short day at Seaman Park, right by boulevard lake. That’s the where the first look and the formal portraits took place.

Nicole + Terrence Wedding

Patrick Chondon July 30, 2018

Where do I begin with Nicole and Terrence's wedding? It was such an epic and fun day I guess I should just start from the beginning. Upon arriving at their beautiful property on the outskirts of Thunder Bay I parked my car and strapped my cameras on my shoulders. I didn't look back after that because the day just flew by with so many great moments.
