It’s been a very busy summer for weddings, but I was anxious as ever to photograph a small wedding at Crystal Beach. It was another amazing venue. The ceremony took place right on the rocks by the lake. After a 10 minute walk down the dirt road, everyone eventually found a place on the rocks. It was then Jessica’s turn to make her entrance with her father. Holding hands, they slowly made their way to the crowd and to her future husband, Billy.

Eganville was the setting for one of my latest weddings. It’s a small town just outside of Ottawa, Ontario. The day started at Brett and Stef’s house where I spent some time with the boys taking photos of them getting ready. I was then off to Stef’s mom’s place where we got some portraits of Stef and the family.

Lindsay and Dustin celebrated their wedding on July 30th, 2011. The day started off at the groom’s and then off to the bride’s. Watching Dustin and Lindsay get ready on their wedding day was exciting. It allowed me to capture some really good natural moments. The nervousness and the anticipation simply can’t be hidden during that time.

Just this past Tuesday, the annual Festival of India took place down at the Thunder Bay Marina. It was another great turnout with lots of great food and performances. It seems like each year it keeps getting better and better. I was only able to go for a short while but during that time I was able to capture some great photos of some of the dancers that took to the stage.
Read MoreHeidi + Family Portraits
Below is a recent shoot I did at Boulevard Lake. This time around it was Heidi and her family. This was by far the most tiring (but fun) shoot I have had to date. I was running around the entire time trying to get some ‘still’ shots. Who knew two year olds had so much energy! Thanks again to Heidi and her family for coming out and making it an evening to remember.
Read MoreHeather + Family Portraits
Centennial Park was the venue for my latest portrait session. This time around Baby Sydney was the model. It took a while to get her out of her shell as she was a bit grumpy but with the use of some bubbles and some snacks we were able to get some really natural and fun photos. Of course it helped that she was very photogenic and cute to begin with so it was just a matter of getting her to smile! Thanks again to Heather and Keith for letting me take photos of little Sydney.
Read MoreTara + Jake Wedding
Nolalu was the setting for my first wedding of the 2011 season. The forecast called for rain but luckily the weather held up and it ended up being the perfect day for a wedding. The ceremony took place at Silver Falls which was a nice 10 minute walk along a beautiful path. After everyone made their way there, Tara made started her walk towards the alter. As you can tell from the photos below she looked beautiful, which made my job that much easier.

Read MoreHowlapalooza - Butchers Ball 3
Howlapalooza – Butchers Ball 3, is by far some of the most fun I’ve had taking photos this year. As with previous years, it was held at the Prosvita. One of the local legions in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I arrived at the event an hour prior to set up all my gear. With the backdrop already in place I set up my area around it. It included all my own lighting, a photo printer, laptop and an extra monitor so all participants and passer-byers could see the photos right then and there.

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.

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.
