i’m like a kid in a candy store. it’s 3 hours before the wedding and I’m sitting at a corner of an empty bar with headphones on, drinking straight water and wondering who’s more nervous…me or Jennie. Dave and Jennie and I got up at 5.30am yesterday and just started walking in the opposite direction […]
i should be at dinner w Marcia and everyone else but I had to sneak down to check out some pics from this mornings sunrise shoot w Dave + Jennie. This is a sign of good things to come tomorrow!
constructive criticism. when you really want to get better and you can handle someone telling you your images look like shit, it’s one of the best kinds of learning you can get. and it’s free. people love to tell you exactly how they feel. i’m lucky enough to have a few people who’s opinions i […]
Kim came to the studio last week because she needed a shot of herself for her website and branding. She is currently the head honcho at www.KimReardon.com (no she is not a duck). Marse has been after me for about 18m now to get health insurance, suggesting I can’t stand on the ledge of high […]
i’ve been dying to shoot a bride in a cage veil for a really long time now. they look so sophisticated and sexy and dark. so when I had a chance to shoot with one yesterday I was very happy. this was one of the last shots. it was supposed to be a test shot […]
here’s one shot from tonight’s shoot at Silver City Tattoo. Kirt had a 4 hour session w JP Tremblay. I’ll get more up later this week.
Applehead Radio – Episode 2 – Grand Pre Wines & LeCaveau
I can’t say it enough. I absolutely love shooting at Grand Pre Wines down in the Valley. The scenery, the food, the staff…everything….exceed my expectations. I’m always really happy with the images I get from every wedding I shoot there, rain or shine. Its pretty cool to hear the enthusiasm and passion in everything Beatrice […]
Wedding Bells Top 25 Wedding Photographer Picks
I’m starting to feel like the little kid standing on the side of the sandbox, jumping up and down, screaming, ‘look at me, look at me!” I got a call from Wedding Bells in June or July and the told me about this Top 25 list they were compiling for the 25th anniversary issue. I […]
Top 30 Around 30 in Halifax – Wedding Photographer
the title alone is enough to make me want to smoke from a pipe and reflect back on the days of atari and the version of Bon Jovi that was awesome. I’m almost as old as dirt. that being said, I was stoked to be asked to be a part of Faces Magazine’s Top 30 […]
New Years Eve at the Marriott Harbourfront for Annie + Trevor’s wedding and the Crazy Booth Experience is out of control. most images are not fit for the blog…and I’ll post anything! we said: do three things w the scarf they: got all Quentin Tarantino on us
Applehead Radio – Episode 1 – JLF Productions – videographer
Episode 1 of Applehead Radio is in the can. What a blast! I got an email from someone right after and she said, “Wow, that guy was awesome, you just asked him one question and then you two talked for an hour.” Big thanks to Jason LeFrense for doing the pilot episode with me. If […]
here’s another one from Mandy + Adam’s wedding i shot w Emma in November. when Emma sent me the file it was named ‘swingy dress’. it was an image we shot just before we headed in out of the cold. it was one of those ‘hey can I just try one more thing’ kind of […]
i personally think you learn the most from failure. i remember a piano concert I royally f***ed up back in junior high. i was sitting on the stool in front of the piano and for the life of me could not get Super Trouper to get from my brain to my fingers. Disaster…but I’ll never […]
(this is a screenshot i copied from myself…kind of. thanks Emma!) i second shot a wedding with Emma Rose back in November. so sweet. no pressure and complete freedom to just hang around anywhere and shoot anything. i loved it and I hope we do this more often. it was a lot of fun to […]
i’m a bit of a talk radio junky. CBC, 95.7, podcasts etc. pretty much every topic is interesting and i’m starting to think that when you hit 65 or 70 years of age, its perfectly acceptable to drink heavily and call in to talk radio programs. doesn’t that sound better than 3 minutes w Nickelback? […]
annie + trevor – halifax wedding – new years eve – Applehead Studio
quick post. annie + trevor got married on New Year’s Eve in Halifax. The reception was at the Marriott Harbourfront downtown…and we brought the crazy booth experience. i gotta be honest, i expected bad weather. but New Year’s Eve on the East Coast was perfect. Blue Moon, fireworks and it was only -10ish with the […]

it’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Felicity Bridal in Halifax. i had no idea I’d be a 35 year old dude who often hangs out in a bridal boutique…but whatever. when I told Christa I was going to start shooting some boudoir photography she simply said, “I’m in”. I think it’s very […]
