One Ring to rule them all! Halifax, NS | Wedding Photography

Last week some great Halifax wedding minds got together to thump our chests and brag about or conquests the previous year. Or drink No Name coke and eat old Nacho Doritos, same thing really. It seems that once a month a few of us are going to get together, compare photos to just generally shoot for the hell of it. Should be a blast! Above there is my last minute contribution to last weeks discussion. Below you will find some fantastic work by Liam Hennessey, Jeff Babineau, Heather Crosby and Jeff Cook, Check em out!

Out with the old, in with the new! {Halifax, Nova Scotia}

2009 was a crazy year for Karen and I. We pretty much started our photography business together shooting weddings. It was a roller coaster of ups and downs, fun times and slaving away to make it all work. Over all we are happy to report it was a rip roaring success! Bring on 2010 baby!

As the first post of many for 2010 I thought it would be a good idea to show off some of our proudest photos from the past year, this is far from all of them. This is just a taste of what is to come. I’m excited to get 2010 started!

Making the Leap!

Here are two cool cats with a whole lot of life!  Meet Adam and Chelle, Adam plays in a band and Chelle is an aspiring photographer who just finished a degree at NSCAD!

When these two came to us and wanted to do engagement photos they had just starting all the plans do their big day so, we booked the pre-wedding set to get the ball rolling and it was a blast! They even brought along a little furry friend… a fuzzy caterpillar who just had to be a part of the photos. He eventually found a leaf he liked better then Chelle’s cozy sweater and thats when we decided some jumping was in order

Between bright yellow caterpillars and bright yellow shoes I’d sad they were a most colorful couple.. good luck you guys!! Its going to be an awesome ride!

I’ve met the occasional wedding couple who will come to me to speak photography but sometimes just don’t see them selves in my photos. Be it the price, the place or even the shot, they just can’t see them in the photos. I have to say that it is one of the most important things about wedding photography, well any photography really. You need to be able to see your self in those places, in those poses and looking just damn good.

That’s actually the secret to great photos, no really it is! I can position the light where ever I like, change the depth of field to what ever I please. But if you don’t want to be there in that photo looking absolutely fantastic then that photo is going to turn into trash.

My photos turn out great because I have great clients. They are fun, exciting and just a little bit crazy…just like me I guess. Mark and Tina are no exception of course! We drove up to the valley where they live, ate smoked salmon off the BBQ and had an amazing home cooked meal before going out to shoot.

Did I ever mention I love my job?

The Family Tree

Another fantastic shoot with a fantastic couple! Of course because I only shoot with the most fantastic of people…

Clint and April had a special tree in a special park under a special sky in which he popped the big question. Obviously we headed back there to take a few quick photo and get to know them better. They even brought us muffins? Now come on, how much better can that be?

After checking out their tree we took a little stroll and it was clear to see that this couple was excited to get married because they could not keep their hands off each other. Next time we will have t bring alog a little spray bottle.

I am pumped to shoot their wedding on Saturday…mmm maybe they will have more muffins.
