I will admit I was pretty excited when I confirmed this wedding w Elenna + Godfrey. They were getting married at Acadia University where Elenna and Godfrey met (I think they actually met at the Anvil!) and where Godfrey played university football before being drafted by the Calgary Stampeders. I couldn’t pick just a few […]
I can almost guarantee you that Sarah’s dress was cleaner at the end of her Trash the Dress shoot than it was at the end of the the night on Saturday. To be honest with you, I think Trash the Dress is kind of a bad name but its certainly started a lot of discussion. […]
When I got a call from Roseanne at Wedding Bells last year to tell me I was going to be a part of the Top 25 Inspiring Wedding Photographers in Canada I was overwhelmed. It was an honor to be on the list with some of the super talented and creative photographers on that list, including […]
I know I sound like a broken record but I love the creative collaboration with clients for engagement shoots. I always tell everyone these are ‘no pressure, anything goes’ kind of shoots. Deb + Kevin wanted something a little sophisticated and contemporary for the engagement shoot and they suggested ONYX as a possible location for […]
A quick stroll through the most recent posts on the blog and you’d never know I was a wedding photographer. So here’s a post just to prove that I actually am going to shoot some weddings this year. Jules told me that her and Dave have about 18 years of post secondary education between them. […]
i never know how much to write these days. i want to tell you a long story about how I knew Rachel a long time ago. How we met through a mutual friend when her business, Sexy Girl , was in its infancy and is now recognized by 99% of the female population in Halifax. […]
thanks for the email everyone. you wanted to see the actual shots on the blog so here’s one.
so before you go jumping ahead to the video there’s something I need to tell you…I embed white text and say things like wedding photographer in Halifax. this shoot was my idea. Jennifer did not call me up and say, ‘Hey Liam, let’s do a shoot w my cakes and can you throw in a […]
i’ve had this idea kicking around in my brain for a while now. i had originally wanted to do this shoot w Shawn + Nicole for no other reason than a few laughs. It just never happened. when I talked to Kim about her engagement shoot she wasn’t big on shooting outside in the cold […]
I remember the very first trade show I ever did. It was Reno, Nevada and we were unveiling the new Prometheus Pellet Fuel Basket. I tried to find a link somewhere but I can’t find it anywhere on the world wide web. So that will tell you how well that product went. (it was actually […]
If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you know there have been a few times where, during a shoot, we’ve run into wasp nests, gun wielding RCMP, broken ankles, burning dresses and unfortunate falls in deep, wet holes in caves. I shot more weddings in the rain last year than I […]
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 […]
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 […]
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? […]
i have an image i’m dying to post but its a surprise xmas gift and it must remain unposted until Dec 26th. its the result of great clients saying, ‘yeah, we are up for anything you want to try’. so until then, here’s a shot of my two favorite people in the world. i love […]
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 […]
this was the first time we did this. i laughed a lot. i didn’t want some slow moving fade iiiiiinnnn fade oooouuuuutt kinda slideshow for this so i tried my hand at ShowIt Web custom timing. it was like a drumming course for toddlers in here. i was all over the road. i have discovered […]
i hadn’t met Kate + BJ until the day of the shoot. kate’s parents own the Shore Club in Hubbards and that’s where we went to do a little shooting in the torrential rain last week. it was fun to do a shoot in a new location, with a new couple and no idea what […]
