Sometimes the rain lets up for a few minutes at just the right time and after you’ve shot a couple levitating in a city park, kissing under an umbrella just won’t do.
This is an image I will never forget. Shooting this image was a rush for me because I was shooting in a place and time that I felt that I shouldn’t be shooting in. Emily wanted to get married outside and there was no other option for her. The rain started and it didn’t stop. […]
I cannot wait to shoot this wedding on Saturday. When I met with Amanda + Kelly last year and they told me the location of the wedding I said yes immediately. Steph and I are being picked up by a little boat in Chester on Saturday morning and we’re headed over the Tancook Island for […]
Meaghan + Justin and one of those “what can we do in 30 seconds or less” kind of shots just before the reception started.
“Lemme do just one more shot.”
We met Megan + Ryan at the studio last night and we knew one thing for sure, Ryan was doing this for Megan. He wasn’t too keen on having his photo taken. Well, I was excited to shoot so we did what we could to soften him up and help him relax. We bought him […]
Kari + Chris got married in Louisburg at the Point of View Suites a few weeks ago and it was everything I expected it to be. A wedding ceremony, great friends and an even greater time. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was but I’ll just say this…like everyone else in […]
I walked into the Marriott hotel on Saturday for Blair and Sarah’s wedding and said what I always say to Steph, “Wanna light it up?” She always does. We tried some things that didnt work, a few more things that didn’t work and I was about done with trying. Luckily Steph chirped at me and […]
The mid wedding season / new studio last minute open house (the soft opening)
When we officially moved into the studio, the first thing we put in was a sound system for music. That was weeks ago. We haven’t really gotten much further than speakers. There’s some unfinished business with decor. When we officially moved in we also knew we wanted to have a party so we immediately asked […]
I was just reading a wedding photography blog that scoffed at the cliche ‘we want to tell the story of your day’ pitch put forth by wedding photographers these days. Well, I forget the blog name, but that’s absurd. I don’t care how cliche it sounds, thats exactly what I want to do, tell the […]
I spend a lot of time looking at photos. Mine, yours, strangers, leaders, followers…I look at them all. For as much as I love creating editorial/fashion/whateverlabelyouwanttoapply type images I also love seeing images that tell you a story. I suppose its the perfect mix for wedding photography with the latter being much more of a […]
I don’t know what it is about Cape Breton weddings but there’s something intangible that just brings them to a whole different level for me. It’s impossible to describe but there’s no mistaking it every time I get to shoot there.
Aside from shooting in wet socks and shoes, I love everything about rainy weddings. It brings everyone closer together and the peaks and troughs of emotion are elevated to a whole new level. It’s aways a tradeoff. You get rain, but you also get this incredible light during and after the rain…and sometimes you get […]
About a year ago I went to PEI with my very talented photographer friends, Jeff Cooke and Heather Crosby-Gionet. We did somewhat of a trash the dress marathon over 15 hours. I shot some behind the scenes video and we hung out with some very creative and talented people from the Island. Through the magic […]
If you’re going to get married then this is the way to do it. Gather all your Cape Breton (New Waterford) and Polish friends and family, put them in a room at the Prince George and let Update Events take care of the decor. Open up the bar, crank the tunes and leave all your […]
Meaghan + Rick got married down south on a sandy beach however they decided they wanted to do some pre and post wedding shooting…sort of like an engagement shoot before and a fearless bridal session after the wedding. Official shoot waivers would show Jeff Cooke shot the engagement shoot and Applehead Studio shot the fearless […]
