Barbara + Darren Wedding Celebration - Springfield Farm
It was just this past summer that I photographed Darren and Barbara’s very small wedding just outside Wawa at Chippewa Falls. It was literally just them and their children, plus of course the minister, all on the rocks with the rapids flowing in the background. It was a very fun day, and one that I look back on fondly.

Since it was just them for their wedding day, they wanted to have a more formal family gathering near their hometown of Ottawa. They liked the way I captured their wedding so much that they invited me out to Ottawa to capture their day.
It ended up being at a very beautiful location on the outskirts of Ottawa called Springfield Farm. Even though it was a rainy day, that didn’t matter at all. They had all their closest family and friends there, and that is all that mattered. From the custom Star Wars cake, along with two other ones, to the beautifully decorated venue, it was a night to remember.
The highlight of the night by far, was the 80’s hair band they hired to play the barn there. Supposedly they saw them live in Ottawa and decided to ask them to play their wedding celebration. It was truly epic and an insanely fun evening of music that I grew up with. The entire crowd enjoyed, from the older crowd all the way down to the kids.
I’m so glad Barbara and Darren invited me out to Ottawa to capture such a memorable evening!
2019 Scholarship + Bursary Awards Reception
The Thunder Bay Community Foundation hosted their 2019 Scholarship and Bursary Awards Reception last evening at the Boys and Girls Club. A select number of high school students along with their families were on hand to receive various scholarships and bursaries. My job was to simply capture the atmosphere, the people and of course the award presentations. I had a great time capturing candid moments and I could really feel the joy and excitement from everyone involved.

Lakehead University Farewell Reception in Honour of Dr. Brian J.R. Stevenson and Judy Davies
This past Thursday, Lakehead University honoured Dr. Brian J.R. Stevenson's accomplishments as President and Vice-Chancellor of Lakehead University from 2010 to 2017. For the first portion of the event everyone in attendance mingled and conversed while enjoying some amazing food. As a surprise to Dr. Stevenson, students from his achievement program marched down towards the main stage with flags representing their country. It was a great start to a memorable evening.

From that point on, there were a variety of speeches, speaking to just how much Dr. Stevenson has done for Lakehead University during his 8 year tenure. The final speech was from Dr. Stevenson himself, who spoke to all the people who have helped him during his time at Lakehead. There was also a short film by Theymedia about the achievement program as well as a surprise performance by Shy Anne Hovorka.
These types of events are always so fun to photograph, mainly because I get to look for all those split second moments of emotion and capture them for ever. It was a pleasure being a part of it and see just how much an impact Dr. Stevenson has had.
