I shot this wedding on September 26th and had my buddy Glen from Fusion come out as my second shooter. Ceremony was held at the RBG and reception at the Burlington Convention Centre. Once again, I'm so blessed to have had such a great couple to shoot for. I love you guys. Thanks for having me share and document your special day.

Trash the Dress - video version

Here's the video from our TTD shoot. Filmed and edited by the very talented Frank Zochil - IM Studios

OK - Trash the Dress - continued

2009-10-04T19:33:00.011-04:00

So after we shot a while in the rain, we decided to go to Burlington near the water. As we get there it's still raining and only about 12 degrees celcius. What happens next with the weather is truly a gift from God. Who would ever expect such extraordinary conditions all to happen within our shooting time frame. During the shoot, the rain eventually stops and out comes the sun, creating such beautiful light for us to shoot in. Dramatic skies filled with many different colours and a rainbow we could see from end to end. The water was chilly and as the sun set, we could see our breath from the cold air. Near the end of the shoot, a full moon appears out of nowhere to give us that perfect finish. Wow. Truly an incredible shoot and with such an amazing couple.

OK - Let's trash the dress

2009-10-04T19:07:00.004-04:00

Well what a beautiful Trash the Dress shoot with Kristina and Oeun yesterday. We had a blast shooting their wedding a few weeks ago but when they told me a few months before their wedding that they wanted to do a TTD shoot instead of an engagement shoot, I was pumped.
As we start the shoot, the clouds roll in and it starts to rain with hail and the winds pick up. We thought we'd wait until it calmed a little but since we had a few hours of daylight left we decided to start, rain or shine. This first series of photos were shot as it was raining. After all, it is a TTD shoot.

Full Moon

2009-08-06T01:02:00.002-04:00

So I get home just around midnight, and I notice the moon light brighter than ever. It's a full moon and not a cloud in the sky. I couldn't let this opportunity go by. So here I am in my back yard, setup with my tripod and cam, snapping away, when I see the neighbors light come on. I hope they don't think I was photographing them. lol

Arrivederci Roma

2009-05-02T07:09:00.005-04:00

I just got back from a fabulous trip to Italy and I have to say, I am missing everything about it already. The last time I visited was 23 years ago and I'm sure not going to wait this long to visit again. My last two days there were spent in Rome and I had the chance to take some photographs even though it rained both days. Here are only a few for now. These photos were taken around 2am Rome time when there was hardly anyone on the streets. Such an amazing place. wow!

Hey Everyone. Wow, I can't believe it was December since my last blog. Here we are in April already. Hopefully I'll be posting more photos from some awesome shoots these last few months and any new ones in the coming weeks. Here's some engagement photos of an incredible couple, Dragana and Rocco. What a blast we had. Normally I prefer shooting outdoors but it was so freakin cold outside that we had to shoot in the studio. So looking forward to shooting their wedding on May 2.

Month of July

2007-07-23T16:15:00.000-04:00

I can't believe that it's been almost a month since I've posted anything on this blog. This month has been crazy busy. I spent a week in the Mayan Riviera shooting a destination wedding for Rizza & Pete. What an amzing time and what a great family. I want to thank everyone for being so accommodating and treating us as part of the family. I also want to thank my second shooter Rob Sanfilippo who was the lucky one to come down with me to shoot the wedding. It's always great working with him. He's a very talented photographer.

I'm posting some images from the resort. We stayed at the Iberostar Paraíso Beach. I'd recommend this resort to all families and couples. It's outstanding. Unfortunatley, I can't post any images from the wedding as of yet, since the couple has asked me to hold off on posting them until after the reception. I'm putting together a slideshow presentation for their reception for those who were not able to attend. Can't wait!!
