Trash the Dress – Prince Edward Island – part I – Griffen
Griffen is a tattoo artist. Eric plays guitar. That was all I knew when I found out Griffen wanted to do a Trash the Dress shoot with us in Summerside, Prince Edward Island on Sunday. She had a black wedding dress she would wear for one shoot and a white wedding dress, the one she […]
As I was leaving Felicity Bridal the other day to pick up a few dresses for our Trash the Dress PEI project, Mickey came running out. “I have an idea for a wedding dress shot,” she said. “Let’s dress up Christina and take her picture putting money in a meter.” Done. Concept + Art Direction:Mickey […]
Crazy ideas sometimes emerge as amazing projects. Trash the Dress PEI is one of those crazy ideas. We need to clear the air here first. I’ve been to a few wedding shows and Trash the Dress discussions usually start with a gasp and end with a No Way. Perhaps this is because I show people […]
My friend Christa Akerman from Felicity Bridal in Halifax contacted me about 6 months ago to see if I could help her out and photograph an event at the Prince George where she would be showing some wedding dresses. I was in. What made this shoot even more special was that it was a benefit […]
I love these 10frames10minutes sessions. very obscure locations and we can do anything we want. i used a new light modifier for the first time with this shot and I wanted to kick myself for never using it before. of course it doesn’t hurt that Nicole+Serge can more than hold their own in front of […]
I know the walk by now. It comes from out of nowhere and emerges suddenly through a stairway or an elevator. Its a slow, steady, forward saunter with a hint of authoritative strut. This awkward performance usually ends with the same question every single time. “What Are You Doing Up Here?” I’m taking pictures for […]
Once again, five of Halifax’s finest wedding photographers (and me) hit the studio last nite to come up with ideas and then fight over who’s going to get to pop the flash first. If this was a typical classroom setting, the six of us would have all been sitting in the front row with our […]
thanks for the email everyone. you wanted to see the actual shots on the blog so here’s one.
so before you go jumping ahead to the video there’s something I need to tell you…I embed white text and say things like wedding photographer in Halifax. this shoot was my idea. Jennifer did not call me up and say, ‘Hey Liam, let’s do a shoot w my cakes and can you throw in a […]
Jennifer obviously wasn’t too upset that I tried to rename her company Slayer Wedding Cake Design because we hooked up on Thursday to shoot a few cakes for her website. She brought with her a Mad Hatter cake that she said I could….’do anything I wanted to’ with it. so I did. I called one […]
Free 10 Day Trial from a Halifax Wedding Photographer
You know what I love? 10 day free trails of anything. How cool is that? Where else but on the world wide web can you download an entire product and try it out for free for 10 – 30 days? Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign and countless other very expensive programs all offer free trials. I think […]
It seems like all these really cool projects start months and months before they actually get launched. I get a phone call about a feature I can’t talk about, I get an offer on something that may or may not happen but it has to be a secret, I get a phone call from 2 […]
this is Jennie. she is almost ready. just like her wedding images. I really hope this is what Jennie does when she sees her wedding images. the final Dave + Jennie Denny post is coming soon.
(Sept 12, 2016 update: these videos can be found somewhere on Youtube but they had to be removed due to some dirty hacker messing with our site) I finally got my hands on the video we shot during the Trash the Dress shoot in Mexico. Here’s the scene we had to work with. One big […]
Slayer at the Halifax Wedding Show? Let them eat Layers Wedding Cakes.
The Brides 2010 show took place last Sunday at the WTCC in Halifax and it was another huge success. This is an amazing show and the attendance gets larger and larger every year. One of the busiest booths of the entire show was Jennifer Harrison’s cake booth. Layers Wedding Cakes from Halifax had about 10 people […]
an engagement session left of the murder.
i’ve had this idea kicking around in my brain for a while now. i had originally wanted to do this shoot w Shawn + Nicole for no other reason than a few laughs. It just never happened. when I talked to Kim about her engagement shoot she wasn’t big on shooting outside in the cold […]
I guess this makes me a destination wedding photographer…
working on this until the puck drops. tell you to have boudoir photography in a very cool place w Applehead Studio
I remember the very first trade show I ever did. It was Reno, Nevada and we were unveiling the new Prometheus Pellet Fuel Basket. I tried to find a link somewhere but I can’t find it anywhere on the world wide web. So that will tell you how well that product went. (it was actually […]
Debbie was our veil model for the nite and Charlotte came along with her. If anyone asks Charlotte what what she did last nite she will mostly likely tell them she hung out in a dusty basement with a bunch of photography nerds. When she had boudoir photography done in Halifax is was from Applehead […]
If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you know there have been a few times where, during a shoot, we’ve run into wasp nests, gun wielding RCMP, broken ankles, burning dresses and unfortunate falls in deep, wet holes in caves. I shot more weddings in the rain last year than I […]
