Devin + Mitchell Wedding - Shebandowan Lake

Patrick Chondon August 15, 2020

Devin and Mitchell got married earlier this month at their camp on Shebandowan Lake. Even though a few of my weddings have been postponed until next year, I was thankful to be able to still shoot theirs. It was a small and intimate outdoor wedding. Luckily, the weather cooperated, although, it would have been nice if it was a little cooler! The location was Devin’s camp on Shebandowan Lake which is an absolutely gorgeous setting.

Busking from the Backyard

Patrick Chondon August 2, 2020

With almost all of the larger outdoor festivals and events being cancelled, I was super excited to hear an intimate backyard live stream being put on by The Bay Street Bastards. I knew I had to be a part of it, so I reached out to the organizer, Kontrol Media Studios to see if they need some coverage of the event. They said yes. :)

Fat Guys Auto Parts - Virtual Car Show

Patrick Chondon August 2, 2020

I had the pleasure of helping out with an amazing event for Fat Guys Auto Parts. I was asked if I wanted to drive around all day, visiting peoples homes, and photographing their vintage cars. There was never any possibility that I would say no. After all, one of my favourite things to do is photograph cars of anytime, let along vintage ones. I have sorely missed the outdoor car shows that usually take place in the summer, so I was so excited to take part in this event.

Callie Studio Headshots

Patrick Chondon July 22, 2020

Callie reached out to me for some updated headshots for her acting portfolio. She ended up going with my very popular 30 minute session. We used a couple different backdrops and lighting setups, and ended up getting a good range of poses. She was so great to work with and I know these photos will definitely help her out!

Lisa + Joel Backyard Wedding

Patrick Chondon June 29, 2020

My first wedding of the year was just as beautiful as I hoped it would be. Lisa and Joel decided to have a backyard wedding with just a few of their closest friends and family. As much as I enjoy shooting large weddings, it’s these intimate ones that really resonate with me. Before we arrived at the backyard ceremony, we started the short day at Seaman Park, right by boulevard lake. That’s the where the first look and the formal portraits took place.

Jordan Graduation Session

Patrick Chondon June 28, 2020

It feels really good to be starting up photo sessions again. I know things aren’t completely back to normal, but at least it’s something! One of my first official shoots back was my recent one with Jordan and her family for some graduation photos. I also shouldn’t forget Trixie, who was often the star of the show most of the time.

Bohemian Queen - Featuring Jeans ‘n Classics

Patrick Chondon March 19, 2020

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful event put on by the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. Michael Shotton and the Jeans ’n Classics band teamed up with the TBSO to rock you with this high-energy tribute to Freddie Mercury and Queen. It was a packed house, and when I wasn’t photographing the event, I was sitting back and taking in the amazing performance.

TBSO Rehearsal

Patrick Chondon March 19, 2020

It’s crazy times we live in right now, and as a creative, it’s going to be a difficult next few months. Before things got as serious as they are now, I had the pleasure of photographing the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra rehearsing before a show last week. TBSO needed updated photos for their promotional material as well as some specific photos of a few key artists in action. It was an amazing experience not only photographing our Symphony Orchestra in action, but also seeing the amount of work that goes into the day of a performance.

Big Lake Reflections - The Chanterelle

Patrick Chondon February 28, 2020

I had the honour of photographing a very special event at the Chanterelle earlier this week. It was called Big Lake Reflections and and it was put on by Eco Superior. It was intended to be an evening celebrating our relationship with Lake Superior through the Arts. A wonderful diverse, gathering of artists of various modalities were in attendance to share and highlight one piece of art that celebrates our relationship with Lake Superior. The goal was to hopefully inspire us all to deepen that relationship, and in turn, inspire greater stewardship.

Fort William Historical Park - Family Day 2020

Patrick Chondon February 19, 2020

It was such an amazing Family Day at Fort William Historical Park. Even though there were a lot of different events going on for Family Day throughout the city, we decided to spend most of our time at the park and it was well worth it. I couldn’t get over all the amazing activities that happened throughout the day. We spent about 3 hours walking around.

Melanie + Esker Newborn Session

Patrick Chondon February 3, 2020

Esker and Melanie recently welcomed their new daughter, Maeve, into the family. They weren’t planning on getting newborn photos done, but as soon as she arrived, they knew they had to. I get to do their wedding this coming September so I was super happy that I got to have a portrait session with them before then. Plus, I also got to meet Maeve, who might go down as the calmest baby I have ever met.

8th Annual Wolfy's Pond Cup

Patrick Chondon February 1, 2020

Last year was my first time photographing Wolfy’s Pond Cup. As soon as I finished taking photos of it, I knew I had to come out to the next one. Fast forward to today, and it was here again. Just like last year, it was just as great. It is such a unique atmosphere, and you can just tell that everyone is having a fantastic time.
