You wanna see a bride walk into a room and light it up wit her smile…it’s Dawn. So when her maid of honor, Holly, and the rest of the girls decided to get Dawn a boudoir photography session as a wedding gift for Huy I was elated! The down side to shooting boudoir is all […]
Hollie and Jeff are getting married in Chester later this year and when they were looking for a photographer they stumbled upon an old friend, Jeff Cooke. They also stumbled upon Applehead Studio. So we met at the studio w Hollie, her bridesmaids and her mom and we tossed around so many crazy ideas that, […]
i have such a good story for you about these guys but it’s late and I’m chasing a rising sun in 4 hours so here are a few grabs from a wedding I shot last Saturday in Annapolis Royal.
Sarah + Ryan’s Wedding | Holiday Inn Halifax Harbourview
Sarah and Ryan decided not to do an engagement shoot and instead opted for a Trash the Dress shoot with…chocolate and Boston Terriers (stay tuned) so I didn’t really get a chance to shoot with them before their wedding 2 weeks ago. We had met a few times and the day was planned perfectly to […]
wanted to get a few up before the guy from the newspaper did!
Tony + Mireille got married in Digby this time last year. It was a shoot I’ll never forget, taking photos on a rotten train bridge 100 feet over a river. Mireille was pregnant at the time. Since then they’ve had Nathan and Tony delivered his own son on the stairway in his house as they […]
I’ve got some really fun images to post from Sarah + Ryan’s wedding 2 weeks ago but I had to put a few of these up first. We kept driving passed this huge canola field in Okotoks all week and each time we drive by I would say to Marse “I just need 10 minutes […]
I had been shooting a lot of boudoir the last few months and what we all end up talking about for days and weeks after is the actual shoot itself. Its become so much more than just a few photos. There’s always a nervous buzz of anticipation for the first hour of preparation. Nirah’s outfit […]
an engagement session at Peggy’s Cove with Shawn + Terra ended in a horrible twist of fate. Shawn suggested a Trash the Dress session after the wedding and Terra…well she found an axe in Peter’s fish house.
So the day has finally come. The next wedding I shoot will undoubtedly be the most personal for me (since I assume Marse wont let me shoot Lola’s) because its the wedding of one of my greatest friends in the world. I have the honor and challenge of being the bestmanphotographer. in a kilt. it […]
Malcolm Gladwell (I’ve mentioned this before) wrote about how a plane crash doesn’t just happen because of one error. Most times its a combination of several (7) things that bring down a plane. So if 7 errors bring down a plane, what would something simple like running out of tomato juice do? Would anyone notice? […]
For the last two weddings I shot, both brides cried and did that really cute wavy thing with the hand in front of their eyes. Not as they walked down the aisle. Not during the vows. Both brides cried when they walked into the reception rooms to see what Avril Mulholland, of Update Events, had done. […]
I think it was sometime last year that my friend (and fellow Caper) Scott McIntyre designed a fine art, black and white wedding album for his clients. I just thought, “wow thats incredible”. Its got the be the right wedding in the right place with the right look to pull that kind of album off […]
I was running late for Julie + Aaron’s engagement session and Jessica was running a little behind as well. So I sent Julie an email and said I’ll be 30 minutes late. See you at 7.30. As we roll into this incredible lakeside cottage on Queensland beach Julie says, from behind a glass of wine, […]
Do you own a wedding dress? Is it somewhere wrapped up in a box under a bed? Have you ever wanted to voice your opinion about Trashing the Dress? Check out the Trash It or Treasure It discussion live online at Smart Boutique tonight at 9pm Atlantic time. Here’s a few images and the PEI […]
I first met Michelle at a wedding (Sarah + Matthew Pickup) about 2 years ago. A group of people were outside of the reception hall ‘refreshing drinks’ and I happened to grab a photo of her that remains one of my favorites to this day. It was just a candid shot but it totally summed […]
letting them go…the end of a wedding and boudoir journey
I was lucky enough to spend a fair bit of time with Kim + Keegan when they booked me to shoot their wedding. They were willing to be guinea pigs for anything I wanted to do with them for a studio engagement shoot. So with both of them having some military background we decided on […]
at the risk of contradicting myself…I really like it when couples will say, “we’re up for anywhere you want to take us”. I had been driving passed this underpass for months, every time pointing to whoever was in the car with me that I really wanted to shoot there. so we shot there with Lyndsey […]
