Blog 2 to 3 times a week. Give 60% content. Ask 40% questions. Tag images. Titles w keywords. Act busy. Look busy. Follow the formula and ye shall find success. Are you fucking kidding me? For the life of me I cannot understand why a creative industry is being driven by those telling us all…
I saw a recent post on facebook yesterday where a wedding couple had come up with a really nice way to politely ask their guests to refrain from taking photos during certain parts of the wedding. The ceremony, portrait session etc were all times they wanted guests to enjoy, to be a part of and…
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…
I’ve shot weddings in hurricanes and I’ve shot weddings on interesting dates like 10.10.10. I’ve shot weddings in the snow and I’ve shot em in the rain but I’ve NEVER shot a wedding on a day the world was supposed to end…until last Saturday. Angie + Ryan live in Hong Kong so I hadn’t had…
I may have gotten a little carried away playing with the new Storyboard script but one thing led to another and the next think you know I’ve got over 100 images in a blog post. Michelle + Garett were the perfect couple to test out this little blog layout. I knew I had a ton…
There’s nothing I love more than a Giacomantonio wedding. Last year I shot for James’ brother and his wife, Chris + Rachel, in an awesome little backyard ceremony w Jenn Grant singing on the patio. Its nothing but love and laughter when you’re around these families and I knew that James + Kathryn’s wedding would…
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
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…
this is quite possibly my longest wedding blog post ever. I’ve tried the slideshows, the little thumbnails….and i have to be honest with you, I like to keep it simple. This was just one of those weddings that could have gone so wrong but instead went oh so right.
Did you know Google was originally called BackRub? So I figured if a wee little company like Google could make a name change then so could I. So I’m officially done with the term ‘Trash the Dress’. I’ll admit I ran head first into the idea of it. We’ve trashed a few, burned a few…and…
It’s all somehow related to wedding photography. Kevin and Carolyn met here many, many years ago. Right in this very place. Now they’re getting married in Halifax next August. Now you can watch them meet over and over and over again…
here’s a quick post from Saturday’s wedding with Michelle and Garrett at Hatfield Farms. more to come. (lame blog post, I know…)
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 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…
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…
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?…
