Here are some highlights from this year’s Festival of Colours. It’s been a few years since I’ve been able to attend and take photos, so I was excited to see what I can capture this time around. It was a great time!
Read MoreNoah Family Graduation Session - Thunder Bay Marina
Noah and his family decided to get some graduation photos at the Thunder Bay Marina. Even though it was the hottest day of the year so far, it was a great time!
Read More2023 Thunder Bay Polar Bear Plunge
This past Saturday the Polar Bear Plunge took place on Lake Superior in Thunder Bay. It’s an annual event that always brings out a lot of people and raises a lot of money for charity. I’m not sure if I would ever be brave enough to jump in the cold lake, but it’s very fun to capture. Check out some of my favourite photos of the event.
Read MoreWineOh! 2022 - Thunder Bay Marina
This past weekend saw an amazing event called WineOh! take place at the Thunder Bay Marina. There were a wide variety of local vendors showcasing some fantastic wines, all in one of the nicest venues in the city.
Read MoreSarah Graduation Session
Sarah graduated earlier this year, but it’s never too late to do graduation photos. That’s exactly what we did yesterday, and the photos turned out amazing, especially with the Fall colours still hanging around. We started in downtown Port Arthur for some quick urban style photos, against the amazing artwork on Cooke Street.
Read MoreBianca + Family Portraits - Thunder Bay Marina
The weather was actually quite warm this past weekend so it was perfect timing for my family portrait session with Bianca and her family. We started by the boat docks and worked our way around the Marina. It’s so nice just keeping portrait sessions casual. Bianca and her family said they hadn’t gotten family portraits for a long long time so they were well overdue! Who knows, maybe it will become an annual thing!
Read MoreJessica + Liam Wedding
I can’t believe what is over a year ago that I photographed Jessica and Liam’s Engagement Session. After meeting them both that day and spending some time with them, I couldn’t wait until their wedding. Fast forward to last month, and their wedding had finally arrived! Suffice it to say, I was super excited. Plus, it meant I got to also meet a lot of their family and friends.
Read MoreWake the Giant Music Festival
Wake the Giant took place this past Saturday here in Thunder Bay, and it was the culmination of a lot of work over the past 1.5 years. For those of you who don’t know, the purpose was to celebrate cultures with a spotlight on Indigenous culture and music. The festival featured a mix of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. The goal was to bring different cultures, age groups, music lovers and festival fans all together at one big event. Its aim was to also bring the community closer together and promote Indigenous artists by giving them access to new audiences and opportunities to network with established artists.
Read MoreChoir!Choir!Choir! + Live on the Waterfront
The last event in the Live at the Waterfront series that has been taking place here in the Thunder Bay wrapped up this evening. My wife Anne and I decided to go check out the last night and it was well worth it. Choir! Choir! Choir! put on an amazing performance. For those of you who don’t know who they are I included their description from Facebook below. it sums them up much better than I could ever do.
Read MoreBrewHa Craft Beer Festival 2019 - Thunder Bay
I have a lot of ‘favourite’ events throughout the year here in Thunder Bay, but I think BrewHa is up there as one of the best. Each year I’m more and more impressed with the vendors and also the people who attend. It’s such a chill and relaxed atmosphere and combine that with live music playing in the background by local bands, and you really can’t go wrong.
Read MoreAn Evening of Music on the Waterfront
Last week was the first time this year that we made it to the Live on the Waterfront event that happens every Wednesday during the summer. I decided to go again this past Wednesday and I took my mother in law and her sister with me. After we set up our seats I started walking around. I of course photographed the last two performers of the night which were great. They were Nêhiyawak and Jeremy Dutcher. I was disappointed that I missed Robin Ranger but we arrived a little too late. I have been shooting pretty much everything with the Canon EOS R which I absolutely love but this time around I decided to just use my original Canon 5D Classic.
