Chellsea & Chris Wedding

Blog  Posted by / 0 comments

It was yet another beautiful day for a wedding. This time around it was Chris and Chellsea getting married. The ceremony was the first thing on the agenda and it took place at the Slovak Legion in  the east end of Thunder Bay. This is yet another location I have never photographed at so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. It ended up being perfect for a ceremony. It took place indoors but it was in a room on the side of the hall with a lot of skylights which allowed for tons of natural light.

This was the second engagement shoot for Alisha & Derek. We decided to do another session closer to their wedding, which is coming up shortly. Plus their wedding is at Chippewa so this gave us a good opportunity to scout out some locations and determine lighting for the day. We also got took the opportunity to test out a couple of the rides which the bridal party will be going on the day of the wedding.

Melissa & Robert Engagement

Blog  Posted by / 0 comments

With Melissa and Robert’s wedding fast approaching we needed to do their engagement photos sooner then later. I suggested the Thunder Bay Marina as the location and that is what we went with. I have already done a few photo sessions here but there are so many different ways to take advantage of the scenery. Plus, they brought their son Liam with them, so it gave him a chance to explore the whole area as we walked around.

Shelly & Paul Wedding

Blog  Posted by / 0 comments

Shelly & Paul celebrated their wedding at Whitewater Golf Course in Thunder Bay. This was my first time photographing at this venue, so as always, I was very excited for the wedding date to arrive. The day was bright, sunny and hot. Luckily there was some shade on the outside deck where the ceremony took place. As all the guests slowly arrived there was a cellist playing music in the background.

Sydney & Family

Portraits  Posted by / 0 comments

The first time I photographed Sydney she was 1 years old. This time around we chose Vickers Park as the location. The minute everyone arrived Sydney was off and running. We basically just followed her around the whole shoot. This made for some great candid photos.

Once she found the flowers on the ground she continued to pick them and give them to everyone. We then made our way to the park area where she just went non stop. The slide was a little bit too intimidating for her but she was not hesitant to make her stuffed bunny slide down it a few times.

Desiree & Terry Wedding – Kakabeka Falls

Blog  Posted by / 3 comments

It was another hot and humid day for a wedding. This time around the location was Kakabeka Falls which is probably one of the most beautiful locations in the Thunder Bay area.

Desiree & Terry chose to have a very small and intimate wedding with only their closest family and friends. Once everyone arrived we slowly made our way across the main bridge and onto the location of the ceremony.

Jen & Dustin Wedding

Blog  Posted by / 0 comments

My first out of town wedding of the year took me to Fort Frances. This was the first time I shot a wedding in this city. I was very anxious to do so because I have really wanted to explore the city for some time now. I arrived early in the afternoon which gave me a small amount of time to scope out the ceremony location as well as some spots in the city which we would eventually be using.

Bob & Michelle Engagement

Blog  Posted by / 0 comments

The location for this engagement photo session was the Marina. Bob and Michelle, like most couples, were a bit unsure as to what they had gotten themselves into. After the first few photos were taken though they immediately relaxed and had a great time. I just told them to sit back let me do all the work and act natural. I have had a couple other shoots at this location so it is always a challenge coming up with new and fresh photos. But, with each new couple, the opportunities seem to present themselves so there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

Chellsea & Chris Engagement

Blog  Posted by / 0 comments

For Chellsea and Chris’s engagement photos we chose Boulevard Lake. It’s a great location as it has an infinite amount of places to stop and take photos. The weather was somewhat windy and over cast but this kind of weather is actually ideal for photos. (well minus the wind).

We started at the mini put fence which is always a very photogenic location. Chellsea and Chris were a bit shy going into the shoot, as most couples are, but they quickly settled in and had a great time interacting. Next up, we simply started making our way to the bridge. Along the way we stopped at the park and along the trail. As I have mentioned before, I always try and stand back a bit an catch natural photos with the couples interacting. Even this can be a bit tough for the couple sometime but both Chellsea and Chris were completely comfortable in front of the camera.
