Autumn Wedding...

Saturday , October 2007
*smiles* my first wedding...

A wedding. One of our most joyous of days, the grand culmination of months of thought and planning. Yet, despite the most well laid machinations, occaisionally, a fickled Mother Nature can toss us something a bit unexpected..like umm, well..the tail end of a hurricane. Such was the case the day this beautiful couple exchanged their vows. Now, you don't have to be a photographer to understand how the roar of wind, the pounding of rain, and muddied fields can complicate the out of doors pictures so cherished by many of us. After a year of wedded bliss I was gifted the chance to complete their photo- shoot.

The Essence of Family

Sunday, October 2007

During our preliminary discussions it was expressed that we were 'shooting' for a relaxed and casual look.


Being slightly warmer than seasonal for the Niagara Region, and having a good mix of sun and cloud made for an enjoyable shoot. Russ and Laureys' family were wonderful. Their good nature (not to mention their good looks) helped to create a relaxed atmosphere and mood easily recognized in the shots.


I have difficulty relating to others just how much I like my job. I have even greater difficulty relating to others just how much more I like my job, when my subjects display openly the respect and love they have for each other.


Thank you for granting me the privilege of sharing your time together

The 2007 CSP Convention was a huge success. Held at the prestigious Renaissance Toronto Airport Hotel I was granted the opportunity to photograph the event. I snapped hundreds of frames of the many business owners, and had a great time doing so. The staff was exceptional and very willing to please their guests. During one of my down times, I was punching off a few shots in the lobby. One porter and I had developed a rapport. After taking a quick candid shot, I asked if he'd like a few shots that I would send to him via e-mail. He was quite happy to comply.

After we finished, I was approached by the Hostess of the hotels restaurant. The vibrant young lady, coyly expressed an interest in having a few pictures taken for her personal portfolio. How could I possibly not offer my services.

.....oh yeah the Convention
