Erica + Noah Wedding

My wedding with Erica and Noah was an extremely last minute one. Another fantastic local photographer, Laura from Flashback Photo, asked me to help her for part of the wedding day. I was available so I jumped at the chance. I ended up photographing the ceremony, which as a lot of fun.

Once the ceremony was done everyone headed out to Mount Baldy, which is where the reception was going to take place. I was not needed for the reception but luckily I joined Laura and the wedding part at the top of the mountain for some portraits. It was a good opportunity to capture some video, which is exactly what I did. You can view the highlight film below, along with all the photos from the ceremony.

Daniel + Erica Wedding

Once again I had the pleasure shooting another wedding at a brand new location. This time around it was the Thunder Bay Marina. Daniel and Erika were the lucky couple. With the sleeping giant in the background, it was the perfect setting for a wedding. Everyone gathered around the flowers and waited for Erika too make her way down the pathway with her father. It gave me a chance to get some great candid shots of all the guests.

Once Erika started her walk everyone got up and anxiously waited. Both her and Daniel looked great and I just loved their attire. They hired a a few musicians to play music in the background and it really added to the overall mood. All in all it was just a perfect setting. After the ceremony we took just a bit of time to capture some family photos.

Then it was off to Centennial Park with just the 3 of us. This is always a great location as there are so many different spots to take photos. We didn’t stay in one spot to long however, as the mosquitos were out in full force. I felt bad for Erika because as I was taking photos I can see her struggling not to swat a bug mid photo. It made for a fun time though as you had no choice but to be easy going when you are getting eaten alive.

Lastly, I quickly followed them back to their parent’s place to snap a few family photos. And then my day was done. Erika and David were a pleasure to photograph. I just love how the photos turned out, being such a cute couple played a large part in that.

Erica + Stephen Engagement

It’s been a long winter but wedding season seems to be almost here, finally! My first shoot of the year was an engagement session with Erica and Stephen. Once we found a day that agreed with us it was off to centennial park.

It’s been a long winter but wedding season seems to be almost here, finally! My first shoot of the year was an engagement session with Erica and Stephen. Once we found a day that agreed with us it was off to centennial park.

The entire shoot was a lot of fun and I think we ended up with some fantastic natural and genuine photos. As much as I can I try to get the couples to simply interact and pretend I’m not there. Then I just stay out of their way and take photos from a distance.

Thanks again to Erica and Stephen. I’m looking forward to a busy wedding season so be sure to stay tuned for many more posts.
