When I was working for Novartis Pharmaceuticals, the first time, we used to go on quarterly trips to Toronto, Vegas, Montreal etc for meetings. Planning these meetings was a faceless office employee by the name of Natalie. Her email always had a skip and a quirk to them that made me laugh and while I […]
Dear all Newfoundlanders, You are, without a doubt, the craziest bunch of people I’ve ever met. I love you all.
Bands are a common theme for us at weddings this year. We’ve seen a lot of them and it always brings a different dynamic to a wedding party than a DJ does. It can also be lots of fun to shoot when there’s a collective of musicians. Saturday nights wedding was no exception. Grant + […]
Grant + Nicole got married at Muir Murray on Saturday and it was the first time we had shot there. It was also the first time we had met Grant + Nicole. We had just come off a Friday wedding in Cape Breton. We left Sydney at 1am, drove to Windsor and slept for 4 […]
I had lost sleep over how we were going to shoot ‘the Fiddle’. I mean, it’s a 50 friggin foot fiddle thats been shot a million times. We wanted to approach it from a different perspective and the shot had eluded us until about midnight when everyone was outside for some ‘fresh air’. Steph wanders […]
I don’t know what it is about Pictou Lodge weddings but here I am again posting a story about a turning point in a wedding. The last time something like this happened it was Emily and Chris and some torrential rain that caused a ceremony to happen inside instead of outside. Emily put that minor […]
I saw a recent post on facebook yesterday where a wedding couple had come up with a really nice way to politely ask their guests to refrain from taking photos during certain parts of the wedding. The ceremony, portrait session etc were all times they wanted guests to enjoy, to be a part of and […]
I almost let Katie and Darren get away. In an ironic ‘romantic comedy climax’ kind of twist, I was urged to go back and get them. I think the advice went something like this, “Do you want them? Well then go get them man.” Im glad I did. Katie + Darren, we love you guys. […]
A different way to look at your photos. You know you want one…
“I want to do a shoot with you but you can do anything you want. I trust you.” One of the many great things I took away from being pharmaceutical rep was a lot of great friends. Susanne and I met a long time ago pushing pills and this small world has us living in […]
We were recently described as very risqué wedding photographers and it made me chuckle. I’ve been asked on numerous occasions to describe the Applehead ‘style’. My reply is always the same…its just what we do. The second I attach some adjective to what we do we’re doomed. If we’re edgy can we be whimsical? If […]
I was born to shoot in Las Vegas. With the exception of $100 on black, I don’t gamble and I don’t even have the fancy clothes that would get me into the VIP clubs there but I’ll tell ya…I’d shoot a wedding there every single day. Meet Katie + Darren. More from their Las Vegas […]
I net with Dan + elizabeth in 2010 about this shoot. At the time, I just wasn’t ready to shoot couples boudoir. I didn’t see it and I wasn’t sure how to shoot it. Time passed and we stayed in touch here and there and then I saw Elizabeth at the Brides 2012 show in […]
When you travel to Jamaica you quickly learn that they’re laid back. REALLY laid back. Its always all good man. No problem. No worries. It kind of freaks me out because the clocks never work and you never really know what time it is…so on wedding eve I sleep with one eye open, scared to […]
A lot of people will tell you how crucial it is to blog a lot and get your links out there and build up your SEO and rank really high in Google. Its an integral part of getting people to find you on the internet to book you to shoot their wedding. While I agree […]
The problem with following trends is that you’re always doing just that…following trends.The flip side is that by following trends you quickly find out what you like and don’t like and can evolve from there. Such is the case with boudoir photography for us. The term itself just seems to limit what really happens when […]
I had never intended to blog a family photo of us but this happened late this afternoon and we’re all still kind of walking around like we just got off the Gravitron. It was supposed to be so simple, and it started that way. Snacks were packed, naps were had and the sun was shining. […]
Every time we pack for a destination wedding I ensure Marse that its just a lot of travel and a lot of work and in reality its not all that glamourous or fun. Between you and I, that’s a boldface lie and if she ever reads my blog, my career in destination weddings is over. […]
I tried to write a blog post to go with these images last night at midnight but the crushing pressure that the girls were going to wake up many hours before the sun had me fleeing to bed. I don’t know if you know this or not but I was a biology major in university […]
there are no words to describe the fun we had shooting this. I love any family that’s cool with lighting fires in their kitchen and putting the cute little puppy in the pot on the stove! Pam + Jake, I love you guys! thanks for the fun.
