Jackie + Marcy Wedding
It was a brisk fall afternoon with plenty of sun, the perfect day for a wedding! The day started at 2:00pm sharp at theThunder Bay Conservatory. This was my first wedding there and it was by far my favourite setting to date. The backdrops for all the photos were a photographer’s dream.

The ceremony took place on the small bridge which had a serene stream running underneath it. Both Jackie and Marcy looked beautiful which only made my job that much easier for the all the photos I took that day.
After the ceremony we got photos of all the groups and a few of just Jackie and Marcy. With the light streaming down from the glass roof, it made for some truly great photos.
Next up were the outdoor portrait shoots. This is where the real fun began. First up was one of the more popular spots in Thunder Bay, Hillcrest Park. We did a few photos by the canon, down by the trees and of course with the sleeping giant as a backdrop. As always I was able to snap a few candids as well.
From there we went to Boulevard Park. After taking some quick shots on the bridge we ventured down on to the rocks. Both Jackie and Marcy showed no fear jumping over large puddles and doing their best not to slip and fall.
Another spot we had on our list was Centennial Park. We could have spent all day there but instead we picked a few locations and just rolled with it. Again both Jackie and Marcy were up for anything. Whether it was getting in the bulldozer or climbing up on the horse carriage, nothing was off limits.
Before we called it a day we did one final pose at the top of the bluffs. The day went by super fast and we got a lot done in 3 hours, including the ceremony! I couldn’t have asked for a more fun couple to photograph. They were both extremely easy going and willing to do anything I said!
Joyce Seppala Fashion Show
This past Thursday Ruby Moon hosted a fashion show by Joyce Seppala. It was a full house and by the time the show started there wasn’t an empty seat in the house. While enjoying the fantastic food and drinks everyone watched as a variety of models showcased the unique and creative designs by local Thunder Bay designer.

The music for the night was done by LU Radio DJ ‘Miss Temperance’ who did a fabulous job at keeping people’s feet tapping while the models did their thing. It set the mood perfectly.
Ruby Moon is definitely one of the premiere spots in town to see local artists and designers. Be sure to visit their website or drop by the restaurant to see upcoming show listings and what’s new on the menu.
Heather + Family Portraits
With the fall colours in full form, I travelled out to Cloud Lake Road for a fun filled family shoot. This time it was Heather and her family. It was a perfect location for some fall photos. They had a beautiful trail covered with leaves in their backyard and this is where we took most of the photos.

At first there was a bit of shyness from the kids but once they got going there was no stopping them. As always I had to do my best just to keep up with them. There were a few falls and tumbles but nothing would stop them from continuing to pose for the camera.
Thanks again to Heather and her wonderful family hiring me to take the photos. I had a great time and I’m extremely please how they turned out.
Connie + Joey Wedding
It was another beautiful fall Saturday afternoon at the Nor Wester. A perfect day for a wedding. This, my second wedding at this location, was for Connie and Joey. It was a small ceremony, which made it that much more intimate.

It was a small ceremony, which made it that much more intimate. Everything seemed to come together perfectly. Both Joey & Connie looked fantastic as well as the rest of the wedding party. The ceremony was accented nicely by live music played by a local harpist. It was a pleasure to photograph this wedding and I hope my future clients are as friendly and fun as Connie and Joey were!
Rachel Portraits
Today I photographed Rachel, who just turned two this past Friday. As soon as I got to Centennial Park she was already running up and down the huge grass hill there. The rest of the shoot was me basically chasing her around and hoping she would sit still for more then 2 seconds. Melissa and I worked together to try and get her to actually look at us once in a while. The photos below were rare occasions where she actually did.

All in all Rachel was a great model. She even posed a couple times! I still can’t believe how much she has grown and how much energy she has! Colour photos are first then some of my favourites in black and white follow.
Janice + Roy Wedding
As mentioned in my previous post, my second wedding was in Nipigon, that was on a Saturday. I had no time to let it sink in as I had another one the very next day! Luckily it was an afternoon wedding so I did have time to actually recharge all the batteries. This time it was at the Norwester. I popular choice for weddings in the Thunder Bay area and one that provides some great opportunities for outdoor photos.

Once everything got underway I got into position and clicked away as the the wedding party walked down the isle. One of my favourite photos of the day was of the flower girls which can be viewed below. The ceremony itself was very sweet and you could tell Janice and Roy were both a bit nervous but very much in love. They both looked amazing, especially Janice, which always makes my job as a photographer that much easier.
For the portrait photos we headed over to the small dock by the pond. They only wanted a few really nice ones so we spent about 15 minutes shooting some unique poses. It was a small reception but a very beautiful one. A Dash of Love Events did a fabulous job of decorating and organizing the whole event. The highlight of the night, aside from the first dance, would definitely have to be the two contemporary dancers from Toronto Janice hired. They came all the way down from the big city to perform 3 wonderfully moving dances. Thanks again to Janice and Roy for allowing me to document their wedding day.
