My previous session with Tammy and Mike took place over a year ago at the Tree Farm. This time around we chose the always beautiful Chippewa Park. It was great seeing both of them again. Part of the reason they wanted to do another session too, was to celebrate all the hard work they put in at losing weight. They looked great!

Michelle + Sam Portraits - Seaman Park
Michelle and Sam won a free portrait session a couple months back and we finally got around to doing it. We chose Seaman Park as the venue, which is always a great location. There was a wedding going on, down by the water, so we just used the nice trail off to the side. Both Michelle and Sam were a bit shy at first but it only took a few minutes for them to get warmed up. After that, they were complete naturals.

Rebecca + Jason Wedding - The Chanterelle
I was back at the Chanterelle for another wedding, this time with Rebecca and Jason. This one was a lot bigger than my last one, and took place in the main ballroom. My day started about 30 minutes before the ceremony was planned to start. So that gave me a chance to spend some tie with Jason and the boys, as well as some of the closest family members.

Char + Russell Wedding on the Lake
Char and Russell’s wedding day, for me at least, started at the Delta down at the Marina. I met Char and the rest of her bridal party and parents there. After some photos, we made our way down to Pier 2 where the rest of the guests were anxiously waiting, along with Russell. It would be hard to choose a more beautiful backdrop for an outdoor wedding.

Leah + Family Portraits - One Island Lake
My second portrait session of the day was at the complete opposite end of the city, at One Island Lake. It ended up being Leah’s family camp, which has been in the family since the 40’s. Suffice it to say, it was quite beautiful there.

Raiili + Family Portraits
My first of two portrait sessions today, was with Raiili and her whole family. It’s always great photographing a range of generations. It’s really important to document family like this, and I always jump at the chance to do so.

Jennifer + Jason Wedding - Pass Lake
Even though Jennifer and Jason live in Southern Ontario, they decided to have their wedding here in Thunder Bay with family. The location, their parents’ camp out on Pass Lake. It was definitely one of the most beautiful settings I have had the pleasure of being at for a wedding. Luckily I was there from the afternoon to the late evening, which allowed me to spend some quality time with everyone.

Elena + Jonathan Wedding - Portuguese Association
It’s been quite a while since I last photographed a wedding at the Portuguese Association, so it felt good to be back. Elena and Jonathan decided to do an outdoor wedding which was awesome. The whole setup and decor was just perfect and once again, the weather cooperated as well. As soon as I arrived, I started capturing some of the details and people arriving. I could tell right away it was going to be a chill and fun wedding.

Lisa + Claudio Wedding - The Chanterelle
Lisa and Claudio finally got to celebrate their wedding earlier this week. After a few postponements, I’m so thankful it still happened like they wanted it to. It was a very small and intimate wedding at The Chanterelle, which ended up being perfect. The ceremony itself was short and sweet. Anyone who knows Lisa and Claudio, would not be surprised the attention to detail for everything about the wedding.

Busking from the Backyard 2021
It feels like forever since I have had the opportunity to not only watch live music, but also photographic it. So as soon as I hear, Busking from the Backyard was once again hosting their second event, I jumped at the opportunity to attend at least one day.

Caylene + Tim Wedding
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, backyard weddings are becoming the new normal, and also my favourite type of wedding. One of the main reasons why I enjoy photographing smaller weddings, is that you get to spend more time with the immediate family. Plus, they tend to be a lot more laid back, which lends itself to many more candid moments. Which I’m all about.

Jennifer + Family Portraits - Centennial Park
Even with forest fires looming far off in the distance and extremely hot weather, Jennifer and her family still joined me for a mini session at Centennial Park the other evening. One of her sisters wasn’t able to make it, but we still had a great time capturing some formal portraits and a few candid ones as well. I swear we laughed most of the session too! All in all, it was a lot of fun, and I’m already looking forward to a potential session in September with all of Jennifer’s family.
