Kerri Campbell & Josh Benvenuti were married in front of friends and family in Port Dover Ontario on September 25th, 2010. Their gorgeous wedding ceremony took place on the back lawns of David’s Restaurant overlooking calm waters and stunning shorelines. The weather was a bit chilly but nothing could damper the love and passion Kerri & Josh share for each other. Their elegant ceremony was just the start of a great celebration, one that went late into the night.

Their reception followed at the Backstage Capitol in Delhi Ontario. Kerri and Josh had this old theatre decorated with not only tables and chairs, but sofas and lounge seats as well. This really gave the room a relaxed feeling, one that ties in well with Kerri and Josh’s approach to just about everything in life. Everyone ate, drank and danced the night away. A great time was had by all.

A BIG thanks once again to Andrea for spending the entire day shooting with me. I really appreciate your help and your company!

Please enjoy the photos below!

Cheers!

Anastasia and Grant have to be the sweetest couple I’ve ever met, and I’ve met a lot of sweet people in my lifetime! I have the distinct pleasure of photographing their wedding in August at The Old Mill in Toronto. But before we get there, Anastasia and Grant were looking for some engagement photos of them celebrating this most happy time in their lives. So, one Sunday in May, we headed down to Osgoode Hall in downtown Toronto to make some photographs. Grant is a lawyer so the buildings, not only with their historic significance, but their architectural beauty as well, hold a special place in Grant’s life. As you can see from the photos below, the day turned out beautifully and I think the photographs did too.

Enjoy this special time together Anastasia and Grant, and I can’t wait to be a part of your special day!

Cheers!

From the moment I met Jill and Andrew, I knew they were perfect for each other. Jill is strong, articulate, vibrant and beautiful and Andrew compliments her simply by…complimenting her!

No, In all seriousness, what makes their relationship work, at least in my eyes, is their uncanny ability to be what the other needs them to be – just at the right moment. You don’t always see this with every marriage, but it is clear these two wonderful souls have it. And by the time their wedding day arrived, they made it look like weddings were a piece of cake, floating through the day with style and grace.

Jill and Andrew’s wedding took place at Langdon Hall ( www.langdonhall.ca ) in Cambridge Ontario on July 4th, Independence Day in the States. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony, followed by cocktails on the patio and dinner in the Orchard Room. The weather welcomed the union of Jill and Andrew by providing a bright, blue, sunny day, one that wasn’t too sweltering.

I extend a very heartfelt thanks to the Duling and Kunica family for allowing me to be a part of their special day. Below are some pictures I took during the days events.

In keeping the creative juices flowing, it’s important as a photographer to also shoot for yourself every once in a while. One of my favourite quotes in recent photography history has been “the best camera you can have is the camera that you have with you.” As more and more photographers get swept up in the “mega-pixel race”, this quote has become even more important. For those that know me, I can be a bit of a techno-file, getting excited about the latest and greatest technology. I have to remind myself that I can create great images with the equipment I already have. I know my wife would appreciate that last comment

So, for myself, this usually means that I try to get out once a week and shoot something that I want to shoot, not just what my clients are paying me to shoot. A lot of times, this means some rather extreme experimentation – with the results not really worthy of seeing the light of day. But it also means I get to see what works, and what doesn’t, on my own dime.

In the images below, I’ve taken the time to experiment with DoF (Depth of Field), perspective, self-portraiture, and Colour.

Please enjoy!
