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!

As I participated in the Off Camera Lighting workshop held by Rick Denham (for more information on the workshop and some of my results from weekend, click here) I had the privilege of staying at the luxurious Riverbend Inn in Niagara-on-the-Lake. It’s too easy to feel like a King when you are staying at a stunning place like this! And even though it was cold, and snowy, and COLD, it didn’t stop me from walking the grounds and getting some shots.

Results are below, I hope you enjoy.

Cheers!

Back in the middle of July, my good friend Chris Kirkpatrick and I participated in Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photo Walk (Link here). For those of you who are unfamiliar, Scott Kelby is a professional photographer and a widely recognized Photoshop guru. How known is he you may ask? Well, to put things in perspective, his photo walk idea garnered over 32,000 participants in over 900 cities!!! That’s pretty popular if you ask me!

So Chris and I met up with 48 other photographers and began walking through the Distillery District in downtown Toronto. Photo walks are all about shooting with other photographers, and sharing ideas and techniques. Unfortunately, Chris and I had to leave early because of an unforeseen circumstance but I got to fire off 5 frames before we left.

This photo walk was also special because each participant was allowed to submit 2 images for judging and had the possibility of winning prizes…..many, many prizes. The leaders of each photo walk were to pick one image from their group to submit for judging on a global level.

….and low and behold, 1 of my five frames got selected! I was the winner of the Distillery District photo walk. What did I win you might ask? Well, I won a copy of Scott Kelby’s latest book: The Digital Photography Book, Volume 3 and the honour of having my image compete against 900 other images submitted from around the world. It is a complete honour to be in some great company and exciting to have been recognized like that.

Here is the image I submitted that won:

*EDIT* The winning images from the global competition were announced today and it looks like I didn’t win there but that is ok! If you are interesting in seeing the winning images, Click here.

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.
