Thunder Bay Queens 15AA Hockey Session - Neebing Arena

To change things up a bit, my session with the Thunder Bay Queens 15AA hockey team was an extended one, focusing just on portraits of the girls. We started at Fort William Historical Park for some outdoor photos. Then it was off to Neebing arena for some locker room portraits. We finished off, on the ice for even more player and team photos. It was a very fun session!

Cassandra + Dustin Wedding - Best Western Plus NorWester Hotel

Cassandra and Dustin made it official last week and I was lucky enough to be hired to capture their wedding day. Outdoor weddings in October are always a toss up with the weather, but everything worked out absolutely perfect! The location was the always beautiful Best Western Plus Norwester. With the backdrop of the fall colours, you couldn’t ask for a better setting for a wedding.

Cassandra and Dustin made it official last week and I was lucky enough to be hired to capture their wedding day. Outdoor weddings in October are always a toss up with the weather, but everything worked out absolutely perfect! The location was the always beautiful Best Western Plus Norwester. With the backdrop of the fall colours, you couldn’t ask for a better setting for a wedding.

My day started with the boys getting ready and then the girls. As a photographer, it’s a fantastic time to get a lot of genuine candid moments, which I love doing. After a few of hours of that, the guests started arriving for the ceremony, which as I mentioned, took place outside. The weather was just warm enough too, to make it a very enjoyable outdoor setting.

As with most weddings, we then did all the family and wedding party photos after the ceremony, eventually leading into a quick session with just Cassandra and Dustin by the pond.

The real fun began with the reception where there were some great speeches, superb food and of course, some fun party games. Congratulations to Cassandra and Dustin, and thanks again for for choosing me to document your wedding day!

Annual Sisters in Spirit Vigil 2024 - Honouring MMIWG

ONWA recently held their annual Sisters in Spirit Vigil, and I was honoured to be able to once again capture it.

ONWA recently held their annual Sisters in Spirit Vigil, and I was honoured to be able to once again capture it. Here are some highlights, as well as a quote from the ONWA website, summing up what the event is all about.

“The movement has since grown from a small vigil on Parliament Hill to various styles of events held across the country and around the globe. The Sisters in Spirit Vigil continues to be a beacon of hope, remembrance, and advocacy, standing strong in the face of continued injustices. We come together to honour those we have lost, as well as the families and communities still impacted by these tragedies.”

Ontario Sheet Metal Workers’ & Roofers’ Conference 2024

For the first time, I had the pleasure of photographing the Ontario Sheet Metal Workers’ & Roofers’ Conference, which took place at the Delta Hotel here in Thunder Bay. A select group of sheet metal workers qualified to compete the a day before the event on a miniature snowblower. The winners were then announced at the conference the next day.

I was actually also tasked to film and finish the video in 24 hours time, so that it could be shown during the conference. No small task, but it was totally worth it to see everyone in attendance enjoy the final piece.

It was a very fun evening, and I was glad to be a part of it.

Honouring Our Children Run 2024

On September 30, 2024 in Thunder Bay, Ontario at Boulevard Lake a special community run in honour of the Indigenous children who were lost and the ongoing healing journey of residential school survivors and their families took place. It was amazing to see the whole community come together to show their support and commitment to truth, reconciliation, and healing.

Melissa + Alex Wedding - Spirit Garden

As much as I love photographing full wedding days, every once in a while it’s nice to do a small and short wedding. Case in point, Melissa and Alex had their wedding last month at the Spirit Garden at the Marina here in Thunder Bay. They invited their closest friends and family, and it was a very sweet wedding.

Luckily summer was still hanging on, so it was a very warm day. Almost too warm … almost. Regardless, I had a blast capturing some memorable moments for Melissa and Alex. :)
