I first met Erin and Matt when they dropped by my booth at the Wedding Palace Bridal Show in early 2015, and I knew I wanted to shoot their wedding right from the start. Luckily, they felt the same (or, at least, came around the idea) and on a beautiful, sunny July morning everyone got…

Need a recap on the whole “project 52” thing? Go here. This week over at /r/picturechallenge, we had arrived at a slightly more traditional challenge topic for the week: ‘landscape’. That’s not to say that it’s any more limiting, and sometimes the most superficially basic themes present the biggest challenges as far as picking a…

Follow this link for an explanation on Project 52. This week’s /r/picturechallenge theme was simply “a job”. From the start, I was thinking along the street photography line for this challenge. Unfortunately, I live out in the country now, surrounded by no people. I’m also staying home with my youngest son right now, which puts…

This week’s /r/picturechallenge assignment was “climate/weather”. Seems straightforward…

This week’s challenge over at /r/picturechallenge was “long exposure”. My first thought was “of course this is the challenge in the dead of winter,” but then…

Well, here we are in week 2 already. To recap for anyone just seeing this without context, I’ve decided to tackle a 52-week photo project, taking a new picture on a new theme every week, and writing a blog post about it, offering a bit of an explanation behind the shot and any sort of…

A brand new year, a brand new website and a brand new blog post! This year I’ve decided to tackle a 52-week project to keep myself shooting even (or especially) when not technically “on the job”. Each week I’ll be taking and posting a new picture following a new theme or challenge. Over on Reddit…

It was an international affair as Maryanne and Andrew said their vows in the beautiful courtyard of the University of Toronto’s Hart House, with family members flying in from across Canada and around the world, hailing from as far away as Sri Lanka. The blend of fashions and traditions provided an ideal compliment to the mix…

We couldn’t have asked for a better spring day for Jon and Veronica to tie the knot. Sure, the April showers eventually came, but not until nightfall when everyone was happily dancing the night away inside the gorgeous Liuna Station in Burlington. The rest of the day, especially the time before the ceremony when we…
