A couple of weeks I was contacted by the author and administrator of the Ontario Wedding Blog and was asked if I’d like to contribute some of my photos for a feature on David’s Restaurant in Port Dover. If you recall, I shot Kerri and Josh’s wedding ceremony there last year.

David’s Restaurant is a gorgeous location for a wedding ceremony or reception. Their back lawns overlook the water and are a perfect place to capture some wonderful memories. If you are willing to make the trip to Port Dover, David’s is definitely a place you must check out.

And if you are interested in reading the article and seeing some of my photos, please visit the Ontario Wedding Blog’s article here.

Dana Ruprecht of Ashes of Roses and my beautiful wife asked me to take some relaxed portraits of her that she could use for an article that was being written about her in the Hamilton Spectator. Dana was the lead actress in a play called “Chapter Two” which just wrapped up at Theatre Burlington. The article was equal parts about Dana’s history in acting and the role she was bringing to life in Chapter Two.

Good friends Steph and David are set to marry this summer and I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph their wedding. But before we get to that, last fall we got together one beautiful morning for some engagement/family photos in Gage Park in downtown Brampton. The ground was covered in leaves of every colour and the sun was peaking in and out of the big old trees that create a canopy over the park. Foster, Steph and David’s son, had a blast playing about in the leaves.

Thank you so much to David, Steph and Foster for such a wonderful morning. You guys are just full of love and laughs and I know we are going to have a wonderful time making photos on your wedding day.

Cheers!

A Couple of Saturdays ago, I spent a few hours with Jill and Andrew to do an engagement session. I will be shooting their wedding on July 4th at Langdon Hall and couldn’t be more excited to work with this couple again.

On this particular Saturday, we went down to Gairloch Gardens in Oakville Ontario to shoot on their beautiful grounds. We continued on the waterfront in downtown Oakville, enjoying the wonderful spring weather. We had a great time together, which I think you can see from the photos we made.

All the best to Jill and Andrew with their final preparations.

Not too long ago, I was approached by friends Victoria and Mario to shoot their son Roman. Roman was born a week after Oliver and Vicky and Mario wanted some pictures to document his three month birthday. I spent some time getting to know Roman and by the end of the afternoon, he was brimming ear to ear for us.

Below are a couple examples of the many wonderful photos we made that day.

A couple of weekends ago, I did a portrait session for Gisele Richter. This cutie was a blast to work with. She played shy for the first little bit but once she was comfortable with me (and the honkin’ lens in her face), she was the perfect model!

Have a look at a few of the examples below!

Just recently I had the distinct honour of shooting Webber, a beautiful dog and family member to friends Stacey and Scott. Webber was an absolute gem to work with, often making my job very easy to do. This is good news simply because I don’t do much pet photography and was really unsure as to how the day would go. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Good friends Kathryn and Yvan asked me to do a maternity session for them back in February of last year. With their son Leo almost one now, it seemed only fitting that I share with you these beautiful images we made together. On this particular afternoon, we tried several different approaches: relaxed candids, controlled light portraits, and studio style fixed poses. I’m really happy with the results and I think you will agree, the images below really capture the essence of Kathryn & Yvan’s love for each other and for their son Leo.

Most of you know by now that back in November, Dana and I welcomed our first son Oliver into our family. Oliver has been a real joy to have as a son and I look forward to watching him grow up. These shots below were taken in his first three days of being in this world. You will see that right from the very beginning, he was alert, and quite strong. Although, from most of the pictures below…it looks like he likes to sleep

When Dana and I were in the hospital with Oliver, Alison brought Oliver’s cousin Julia to meet him. Well Julia couldn’t have been cuter that day and I couldn’t help but grab a few portraits of her. She even hammed it up for the camera a bit, as you will see below. I can’t believe Julia is two years old! It seems like only yesterday I was taking photos for her first photoshoot. She’s growing up so fast…
