My 15 Favourite Photos of 2014
Since it was such a great 2014 for me, I figured the best way to bring in the new year would be to select my favourite photos of this past year. I had such a wide range of clients that it was really hard to pick. There were some great events I was able to photograph, a whole bunch of portrait sessions and of course some truly wonderful weddings.

Looking back it always amazes me just how many wonderful people I met just this past year alone. I simply can't wait for 2015! Be sure to check back often for blog posts and new sessions I have. As always, wedding season is fast approaching, so if you have yet to book a photographer I still have some dates available.

If you aren’t already on Pinterest, you should do so now. For brides to be it has a ton of ideas for everything ranging from wedding dresses to invitations. It’s really easy to create your own wall and basically pin any posts you like to it. That way you can go back and revisit it at anytime. Plus, you can integrate it with other social media sites such as Facebook which means it is easy to share posts with friends and family.
You are more then likely already on Facebook but this is another great site that has a lot to offer in the way of inspiration. The best way is to become fans of companies you like. Whether it is a decorator, a photographer or even a wedding planner. The advantage of Facebook is that you can also focus on local talent, that way if you something you like, you can actually deal with them directly.
Wedding Blogs
This one is pretty obvious but I figured I would mention it anyways. There are a lot of great sites out there that offer ideas and tips as well as real life weddings. What better way to get inspired then to look through actual weddings and see what other couples have done. Perhaps you are thinking of location ideas, a certain type of photography you want used, or even dress ideas. Some of my favourite blogs to check out are the following.

There are many more out there so if none of these pique your interest to a google search and I’m sure you will find something that suits your needs. Of course, as always, feel free to check out my blog for tips and wedding write ups for past weddings that I have photographed.
Wedding Magazines
Usually at least once a week I will go to chapters and look through some of the wedding magazines on display. I love seeing what other photographers are doing out there and also, what some of the styles and trends are these days. It’s easy to just get in the habit of staring at a screen so it’s a welcome change to actually hold a magazine in your hands. Even go a step a further and buy a few of them. That way you can rip out some pages or bookmark certain things and create a scrapbook of what you like. Also, don’t forget that a lot of these magazines allow you to send in your wedding and they could feature it in an upcoming issue. Please be sure to check with your photographer before doing so as some of them don’t allow this. This will actually be the first year I will be sending in some weddings I shoot to be showcased. I think it’s a great idea personally.
Here are some suggestions for some of my favourite magazines out there.
Having been on Google Plus for the past year I have realized that it is a fantastic resource for just about everyone, especially couples getting married. Just like Facebook, there are groups you can join specific to your cause. For this, I think Google Plus excels because it seems to have a lot more photos as well as many more articles too. It also something called Circles, which you can essentially join to talk about what ever is on your mind.
There you have it! If you are struggling to find ideas for your upcoming wedding be sure to check out some of these options. I guarantee you will come away with a lot of great information.
Favourite Wedding Photos of 2013
With the new year now upon us, I figured it was a perfect time to highlight some of my favourite images from this past 2013 wedding season. It may come across like I am patting myself on the back but I think with anything, it's important to reflect. It allows us to not only see where we excelled but also where we can improve.

It may come across like I am patting myself on the back but I think with anything, it's important to reflect. It allows us to not only see where we excelled but also where we can improve.
Each year I look back, I realize just how much I have evolved as a photographer. I continue to develop my style and learn new techniques and also new ways to look at things. It also helps that every single couple I photographed were fantastic to work with. For someone like me who has more of a documentary style way of shooting, it's important that couples are very relaxed and natural.
I really can't wait for the 2014 wedding season. The enjoyment of meeting new couples, seeing new venues and continuing to grow as a photographer are just a few things that get me super excited.
Thanks again to all the couples who made 2013 a year to remember.
Also, stay tuned for my next post which will include my best portraits for 2013!
As always, if you like what you see here don't forget to check on my blog. If you are interested in booking a wedding or would just like to chat don't hesitate to send me an email or call anytime. I still have some spots open for this coming season.
