Jennifer + Les Wedding - Delta Hotel Thunder Bay

The Delta Hotel was once again the latest location for a recent wedding I captured. Jennifer and Les were the beautiful bride and groom this time around, and it ended up being a very memorable and fun day. My day started about an hour before the ceremony which gave me some time to capture the details of the ballroom and some of the arriving guests.

Kahla + Kyle Wedding - Centennial Conservatory

With things pretty much back to normal for weddings, it was refreshing to photograph a very small and intimate wedding with Kayla and Kyle at the Centennial Conservatory. I do like large weddings, but it’s nice to switch it up once in a while.

Hannah + Chris Family Session

My first time meeting Hannah and Chris was during their maternity session last year. Fast forward to this year, and it was time for a family get together to celebrate their wedding. It was awesome seeing their newest addition to the family as well as the rest of their family, this time around. I had a great time capturing a mix of posed and mostly candid photos.

Urban Youth Hide Tanning Camp - Thunder Bay Marina

This week there was a great free community program taking place at the Thunder Bay Marina. It was the Urban Youth Hide Tanning Camp. It encouraged the younger generation to come out and learn how to work with moose hides. My wife and I brought her mom and sister for a couple days and they provided additional wisdom to the organizers which was a great site to see.

Alanah + Brenden Wedding - Fort William Historical Park

What can I say about Alanah and Brenden’s Wedding day? Only that it was so much fun and I can’t believe how fast the whole day flew by. I started with Alanah and the girls getting ready at their mom’s house. I was able to get a few details before they showed up and then a lot candid moments.

Nikolas + Family Portraits - Tree Farm

It wasn't easy, but Nikolas and his family managed to get his grandparents out for a quick portrait session at the Tree Farm. It was a very sweet and funny session. I did my best to get a smile out of his grandmother, and I succeeded a couple times. His grandfather had the best catchphrase too, responding with the occasional ‘oh brother!’ when asked to do something. All in all, good times out at the Tree Farm.

Kim + Family Portraits - Boundary Drive

I’m so lucky to have families that I get to capture photos of as the years go by. They are definitely the most fun sessions. One of the reasons I enjoy them so much is watching how the kids grow up, and how their personalities change. It’s just such a joy. Kim and her family are one of my favourites, and this session was an absolute blast, out in the country where some of them live. Check out some of the highlights below.

AJ + Precious Wedding - The Chanterelle

Having just done AJ + Precious’ engagement photos a month earlier, it felt like their wedding came so quick. From what I heard too, it was organized somewhat last minute too, which you wouldn’t have even been able to tell. It was just the perfect wedding, and I’m so thankful I was a part of it.

Joelle + Family Portraits - Birch Beach

Some of my favourite portrait sessions are the ones out at camp on the lake. It’s impossible not to come away with great photos. It of course helps when photographing beautiful and fun families like Joelle’s. I’m so happy they invited me out for a family session. I love how the photos turned out.

Sheila + Trevor Wedding - Fort William Historical Park

My first wedding of the year at Fort William Historical Park with Sheila and Trevor was a really sweet one. It was a small wedding, which is my favourite kind, seeing as how they are always so intimate. It just so happened that one of the biggest events of the year, Country on the Bay, was also taking place about 200 feet away. You wouldn’t have known it though, which is a good thing.

Sue + Family Portraits - Centennial Conservatory

Originally we were supposed to do Sue’s family session outside at Centennial Park, but with thunderstorms looming, she suggested the Conservatory. The weather ended up holding out long enough but I’m super happy we stuck with the Conservatory. It made for a very beautiful setting for photos. Everyone had a great time and I just love how the photos turned out.

It was my second wedding of the summer at NorWester Hotel. Once again the weather held up, but it was definitely a hot day for a wedding. Sara and Eric actually got married in a small intimate ceremony the previous year, but they wanted to do it again, this time in front of family.

Jen + Roy Wedding - The Chanterelle

Every once in a while, I get to photography a family wedding. This was one of those times, and it was such a good day. Jen and Roy’s wedding took place at The Chanterelle, which made for a very small intimate day.

The ceremony took place on location, and then afterwards we headed to the Law School up the street for some outdoor photos. After a small break, dinner and dancing was back at The Chanterelle. Congratulations to Jen and Roy!
