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.
“The Ramones are special. Not only is there no middle ground when it comes to the Ramones, there can be no middle ground on that band. You’re supposed to either love them or hate their guts, but merely liking the Ramones or saying “well, they’re sort of OK” just doesn’t seem like a possible perspective. […]
Happy Valentines Day.
We’re doing a workshop. It doesn’t have a catchy name and it isn’t sponsored. It’s three days long and we’re going to talk about anything and everything we can cram in over 3 days. Everything from first contact with a potential client to finished product delivery to the client. It’s limited to 10 people and […]
Brad and Mike had a job to do at Sarah + Tyler’s wedding on New Year’s Eve at Pier 21. At midnight, their job was to fire off the confetti guns. Now confetti guns alone are normally enough to get me excited at a wedding reception. Steph and I talked about ‘the shot’ all night […]
On November 26, 2009 I opened my brand new little black sketch book and started a business plan. I wanted to stab myself in the head with the pen before I even started because I had just left the pharmaceutical industry where everything was planning and spreadsheets and forecasting and I wanted to be done […]
Paul’s Dad had grown a goatee a little while ago and the idea was born. Roger looked like a mob boss and that was it. Paul, his brother Rob and his Dad were going to do a Family Fiction session where they were the mob disposing of a body. Seriously? It doesn’t get any better […]
I don’t read many self help books and I’ve never seen ‘The Secret’. I don’t sit at home in the office and hope or wish or pray that good things will come my way. I don’t preach or try to convert anyone into any of the crazy things I believe in but this, this 18 […]
It’s funny for me to watch Applehead Studio evolve and take it’s own shape based simple on the best way to have fun while we work. While I used to go out and shoot like a madman, proof 100 or so images and sell a big collection of 75+ images, now when we do these […]
I’ve been holding my tongue for long enough. I’m one very, very small cog in an ever growing machine of photographers around the world. That machine is so big people debate the definition of what a ‘professional photographer’ really is. Does a professional photographer shoot sharp, crisp images in exchange for money? Do they have […]
You had 2 hours, now you’ve got 20 minutes. Go. Halifax Wedding Photographer
“Where are we going for photos?” Its a question I get on almost every wedding day and one I almost always answer with, “I don’t know, where would you like to go?” While almost every wedding blog will be filled with wonderful comments about how lovely the wedding day was and how nice it was […]
Amanda + Tony got married at the Inverary Inn in Baddeck over the weekend and the forecast said hot and sunny. Amanda told me they were going for an 8.30am run and Tony was teeing off at 9am so Steph and I jumped at the chance to get outside and do some early morning shooting. […]
I shot a destination wedding last year where, at the end of the night when the dj stopped playing and everyone else was in bed, the wedding party headed down to the beach, got naked and posed for a very different wedding party kind of photo. Meaghan + Justin and their wedding party were that […]
