Chantelle & Mario's Wedding Reception

Last night I was busy photographing not a wedding, but simply a wedding reception! I started at 9pm and finished at 11pm. That is something unusual for me, generally I'm asked to photograph the entire wedding, so this was a refreshing change to the usual! Even though I barely know Chantelle and Mario, they seem like a fantastic couple; very friendly and sophisticated. And the night of course was one big party. Here is a small sneak preview of the event... Enjoy!

Also, I want to thank my good friend Teresa for referring me to Chantelle and giving me the opportunity to photograph this event... Thank you Teresa, you rock!

  

Rebecca & Jory's wedding

This past weekend I got a chance to photograph my nephew's (and now new niece's) wedding! It was an awesome day and a beautiful wedding. I'm super excited about the photos. It was a blast having all the family there and getting to meet Rebecca's family as well. And my kids got to be the ring bearers... how cute was that!  Here's a sneak peak of Rebecca and Jory's wedding.

The Creative Collective

Meeting the Creative Collective has helped me understand this small group of entrepreneurs, how they work and how this union is going to make such a difference in for local businesses. I absolutely love their work and what they do. Four local companies: a photographer,  a writer, video producers, and creative marketers, have bonded together to form the Creative Collective. An organization that strives to extend themselves within, throughout and beyond their own community. As a group, they focus on benefiting other companies, helping them develop a look and style that speaks out.  All their services are connected and available to clients as a whole or separately. If you want to find out more about them, you can check out their new website: www.thecreativecollective.ca

My Latest Creative - with Tatiana

All photographers like to shoot "creatives" as much as possible. If you don't know what a creative is... it is a shoot that you are inspired to do, that you want to do, that is not for money, but simply for the love of photography. If you have a good idea... make it happen! Creatives keep you energized and motivated. They ignite your imagination. 

So having said that... Here is my latest creative. 

The model is Tatiana. She has such a natural expression. Not to mention... she's beautiful. The location is a magnificent house in Hamilton, totally renovated (and owned) by Sue and John Greene.  The gorgeous dresses are from "Mirella's Ladies Boutique" in Burlington. And Hair and make-up is thanks to my very talented co-op student, Sarah Byrne. Everything came together very nicely.
