If there’s any one thing that keeps me awake at nite its the technical difficulties of a website and blog. If you don’t have a site…you don’t have a business. So I apologize for the down time and confusion as we make a few changes to the website and blog. There promises to be lots […]
You know what I love? 10 day free trails of anything. How cool is that? Where else but on the world wide web can you download an entire product and try it out for free for 10 – 30 days? Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign and countless other very expensive programs all offer free trials. I think […]
The Brides 2010 show took place last Sunday at the WTCC in Halifax and it was another huge success. This is an amazing show and the attendance gets larger and larger every year. One of the busiest booths of the entire show was Jennifer Harrison’s cake booth. Layers Wedding Cakes from Halifax had about 10 people […]
working on this until the puck drops. tell you to have boudoir photography in a very cool place w Applehead Studio
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 can’t say it enough. I absolutely love shooting at Grand Pre Wines down in the Valley. The scenery, the food, the staff…everything….exceed my expectations. I’m always really happy with the images I get from every wedding I shoot there, rain or shine. Its pretty cool to hear the enthusiasm and passion in everything Beatrice […]
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 […]
the title alone is enough to make me want to smoke from a pipe and reflect back on the days of atari and the version of Bon Jovi that was awesome. I’m almost as old as dirt. that being said, I was stoked to be asked to be a part of Faces Magazine’s Top 30 […]
Episode 1 of Applehead Radio is in the can. What a blast! I got an email from someone right after and she said, “Wow, that guy was awesome, you just asked him one question and then you two talked for an hour.” Big thanks to Jason LeFrense for doing the pilot episode with me. If […]
here’s another one from Mandy + Adam’s wedding i shot w Emma in November. when Emma sent me the file it was named ‘swingy dress’. it was an image we shot just before we headed in out of the cold. it was one of those ‘hey can I just try one more thing’ kind of […]
(this is a screenshot i copied from myself…kind of. thanks Emma!) i second shot a wedding with Emma Rose back in November. so sweet. no pressure and complete freedom to just hang around anywhere and shoot anything. i loved it and I hope we do this more often. it was a lot of fun to […]
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? […]
quick post. annie + trevor got married on New Year’s Eve in Halifax. The reception was at the Marriott Harbourfront downtown…and we brought the crazy booth experience. i gotta be honest, i expected bad weather. but New Year’s Eve on the East Coast was perfect. Blue Moon, fireworks and it was only -10ish with the […]
i had been kicking around this idea for a few weeks when cheryl sent me a text asking if I could do a shoot for her friend Paul before xmas. i was totally booked and had said we could try and hook up sometime in January. but I had this idea…right down tot he kind […]
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 […]
