Jennifer obviously wasn’t too upset that I tried to rename her company Slayer Wedding Cake Design because we hooked up on Thursday to shoot a few cakes for her website. She brought with her a Mad Hatter cake that she said I could….’do anything I wanted to’ with it. so I did. I called one […]
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 […]
It seems like all these really cool projects start months and months before they actually get launched. I get a phone call about a feature I can’t talk about, I get an offer on something that may or may not happen but it has to be a secret, I get a phone call from 2 […]
this is Jennie. she is almost ready. just like her wedding images. I really hope this is what Jennie does when she sees her wedding images. the final Dave + Jennie Denny post is coming soon.
(Sept 12, 2016 update: these videos can be found somewhere on Youtube but they had to be removed due to some dirty hacker messing with our site) I finally got my hands on the video we shot during the Trash the Dress shoot in Mexico. Here’s the scene we had to work with. One big […]
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 […]
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 […]
working on this until the puck drops. tell you to have boudoir photography in a very cool place w Applehead Studio
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 […]
the rest of the story in the next few days…
i’m like a kid in a candy store. it’s 3 hours before the wedding and I’m sitting at a corner of an empty bar with headphones on, drinking straight water and wondering who’s more nervous…me or Jennie. Dave and Jennie and I got up at 5.30am yesterday and just started walking in the opposite direction […]
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 […]
