This past weekend I had the chance to be with Bev & Robb for their awesome wedding at the Whitby Marina Clubhouse. The weather has been crazy hot the last week or so and Saturday while not as humid, was still hot enough that we needed to get Bev an additional fan in the morning to cool down. Brides take note that your wedding dress can make you hotter (literally)! Bev took it in stride and along with Robb both had a great day with their friends and loving family.

They had the ceremony outside of the Whitby Marina clubhouse where they are avid sailors and then we had some time are the Whitby pier for some more photos and play. I wish you both all the best, and here are some sample photos from the day.

Being a wedding photographer there are a number of things I can control at a wedding and there are even more than I can’t. As much as I wish I could change this fact, the weather unfortunately falls under the later of the two.

This past Sunday I had the chance to photograph the wedding of Debbie and Todd in Ashburn and we were all a little nervous in looking at the forecast which called for rain and lots of it. One of the main things I always remind my clients is that through it all, you have to have fun, enjoy yourself, stay positive and Debbie and Todd took that to another level. At the begining of the day, it looked as though we’d have a wet wedding and not once did either of them mention it or look down. You guys are amazing. It turned out to be great day, the weather turned out to be great and everyone had a great time.

Here are some of my favourite images from their day.

In an effort to give my wedding clients the best possible experience I’ve recently added some really cool wedding thank you cards and mini albums. Part of what I’m trying to do is to give my clients options that are unique and when you look and feel them you’ll say wow! I’m sure everyone is going to love them and can’t wait to get these into my clients hands.

If you have an upcoming wedding consultation with me or if you’re planning an upcoming wedding and have any questions please let me know.

When it comes to viewing your wedding images I’m still a big believer in the traditional print. There’s still something about the look and feel of holding your wedding photographs in your hand that can’t be matched by digital displays. Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to see an image in HD on my big monitor but I still feel that prints have their place. All too often most wedding clients will leave their disc of images in a drawer and those images won’t be enjoyed the way they were meant to be.

For a long time I’ve been looking for a way to provide my wedding clients with something unique and special that they could call their own when it comes to displaying their prints. What I’ve found is a custom made, 5×7 print case, that will feature two of your wedding images – one on the back cover and one on the front. Inside you’ll find either 50, 200 or 400 of your amazing wedding images beautifully finished and ready to share with your family and friends.

If you have an upcoming wedding consultation with me or would like to know more about these cases and your wedding day options, I’d love to chat.

This past Saturday I spent the day with Heather and Mike for their winter wedding in Newmarket. The day was filled with a mix of lots laughs, fun, emotions and a large police presence! Yes you read correctly, I’ve never been to a wedding reception with so many police officers in one room, but they were there to join with Heather and Mike as close friends and co-workers with Heather.

I had an amazing time and I know you guys will have a blast on your honeymoon and I can’t wait to hear about the trip. Enjoy these photos for now and I’ll post a slideshow soon as this is just a small sample.

Here is a video where I discuss some of the issues surrounding digital files for wedding clients and highlight some of the issues you need to be aware of. Specifically you need to understand that not all high resolution files are the same. I have a number of topics that are related to this topic that I’d like to get into further so I’ll post some follow-up videos soon. This one is about 8-9 minutes but if you’re looking for wedding photography you’ll want to know this information.

Here are some photos I took recently of my new DVD packaging that all of my 2010 wedding clients will be receiving. I’ve been looking for a while now to get something really different and unique and I’m sure my clients will be thrilled with these.

They are made from natural papers and are also very eco-friendly which is a bonus. If I do get a good response from clients I’ll definitely be getting more for the coming year.
