2023 Thunder Bay Polar Bear Plunge

Patrick Chondon April 2, 2023

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.

Urban Youth Hide Tanning Camp - Thunder Bay Marina

Patrick Chondon August 19, 2022

This week there was a great free community program taking place at the Thunder Bay Marina. It was the Urban Youth Hide Tanning Camp. It encouraged the younger generation to come out and learn how to work with moose hides. My wife and I brought her mom and sister for a couple days and they provided additional wisdom to the organizers which was a great site to see.

Sarah Graduation Session

Patrick Chondon October 2, 2020

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.

Bianca + Family Portraits - Thunder Bay Marina

Patrick Chondon November 26, 2019

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!

Jessica + Liam Wedding

Patrick Chondon September 20, 2019

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.

Wake the Giant Music Festival

Patrick Chondon September 16, 2019

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.

BrewHa Craft Beer Festival 2019 - Thunder Bay

Patrick Chondon August 12, 2019

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.

An Evening of Music on the Waterfront

Patrick Chondon August 1, 2019

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.
