My photo friends wedding

This past weekend we went up to Cape Breton to spend some time with our good friend Kelly Martell and partake in her special day with her special guy. I offered to help shoot her wedding along with Erin Dibben and Mark Ramsey. Between the three of us I am sure the photos she will get will be pretty over whelming. The weather held off just long enough to make the day absolutely perfect.

Congrats Kelly and Walker!

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?

Wedding on a boat!

Erika and Todd rock! We had the opportunity to hang out with them all day and I can’t say enough how much of a fun couple they where, laid back and relax the whole day. Smiles all around. Their wedding even took place on an awesome boat! How cool is that? It’s pretty damn cool if you ask me.

We spent the earlier part of the day shooting their wedding photos, family photos and everything in between before hitting the boat for an evening cruise around the Halifax Harbour. We as wedding photographers have gotten stupidly lucky this year by there being fantastic weather ever date we shoot. And Saturday night was no exception. It was perfect weather in every way!

Level up!

We spent last week on vacation in the Cape Breton Highlands. Now we where not up there for fun and games the entire time. We did shoot two weddings after all! The first wedding of course was the lovely Luchador photos, and the second was with our good friends Clint and April. Fun times where had by all! Of course they where had by all, we were in Cape Breton after all!

Gorgeous country side, gorgeous couple…what could go wrong? Well we being the evil villains we are, we had a lot of plans up our sleeves!

We met them Saturday down at LeNoir Forge on the Isle Madame in Cape Breton. We did a couple fun family photos and then when no one was looking we kidnapped them in our chariot (Santa Fae) to fly about the tiny island a google (it’s a number. really) of awesome photos where ever we could sneak into. Isle Madam is very very tiny place! Every where we went Clint and April knew somebody. We got a lot of calls from across the road, and horns honked everywhere we went!

Eventually we had to return them to their loved ones of course and the night carried on into an awesome reception! And the rest is history!

Woohoo!

Match of the century!

We sped off to Cape Breton this past weekend for our friends fantastic wonderful wrestling wedding extravaganza! Or well a wedding at a nice cottage on the beach … same thing really.

It was a gorgeous low key ceremony on the beach, surrounded by friends and family. After the ceremony and a few quick family photos we headed up the road to an abandoned gas station we found earlier in the day. Photo fun was had of course as you can see and we headed back for some amazing food! An extra bonus for us as photographers was that we knew most of the guests outside of the wedding, that was a nice little bonus.

Tomorrow is another fantastic friends wedding down in Isle Madame. Also watch as the photos from our little vacation begin to flow in over the next while as well
