Oh and can’t forget Sports (for Mike) It was a joy to be a part of such a fabulous wedding celebration and have the honour (spelled honour for the Canadian Bride) of capturing their wedding day.

Importance of a qualified | experienced wedding photographer

I received this lead today. I cannot stress enough how important it is to hire a qualified and experienced wedding photographer with professional equipment.You cannot reverse time – even if you do a re-do the photos will not be the same candid photos with guests.

Message:
Can you please send me pricing and information on how much it would
cost to do wedding “re-do” photos.  My husband and I just got married
in June and the photographer that we chose didn’t do a very good job.
Our photos are horrible. So we are looking to re-do some of them this
spring.

Engagement Pictures | Jenna and Jordan

Jenna and Jordan requested a nature / rustic inspired engagement portrait photo shoot. I had a few places in mind that I drive past on occasion and have always wanted to photograph. It was cold with mostly clouds and little bits of sun peaking through for the photography session. What a cool – cute couple don’t you think?

Newlywed Portraits

If you are already married and have always wished you would have had engagement pictures taken why not have newlywed photos taken.

Think romance, hot coffee, umbrellas and the exciting unexpected. For our newlywed session – we walked and walked through anticipated rain, drizzle and occasional downpour. It was a day that we will certainly remember that’s for sure. The rain saturated grounds were beautiful and there is something about cloudy gray skies with rain that is VERY romantic and cozy.

This couple and photo below reminds me of a magazine photo I loved and recreated with acrylic paints my senior year in high school. While editing this session my mind kept going back to the strong comparison between that painting and this photo.

The sensuality of the moment before lips touch in a kiss…..
