Major Hill Park / Chateau Laurier Ottawa Wedding

Warm light, summer breezes and a carriage ride...all you need is someone there to record it all.
The groom took casual to a new level...We don`t TAKE wedding photographs...we help you MAKE them by careful planning and over 30 years of experience.

Haiti Fundraiser at the NAC

Last night at the NAC we volunteered as the official photographers to a Fundraiser for Haiti.
I have been mesmerized by the tragedy in Haiti for some time and leapt at the chance to help.

The dinner, which featured a fabulous meal created by a dozen of Ottawa's top chefs raised over 60K in one evening for Care Canada's work in Haiti. This amount will be matched by the
Federal Government, meaning that this one nights effort raised an eighth of a million dollars!

The people from CARE really do care... and their thanks was really the icing on the cake.

These people know how to have fun...

I would love to have been there....

Candids VS Photojournalism

Just so we are on the same page when discussing wedding styles...the top photo is wedding photojournalism....shooting unposed images. The bottom shot, while a lot of fun, is what is now
being called "candid" groups...ie more fun in posing. These need time and a cool location. People do not naturally do the things that you see in a lot of wedding photos...if you invest the time, we can create some great images.

Photojournalism meets Fashion

We were thrilled to be selected to create the current cover of Ottawa Life magazine featuring
some of Ottawa`s most dynamic women. Recently we have also been honored to be selected as
photojournalists for Canadian Press to add to our work for Time, Macleans and Newsweek.
A lot of people in the wedding biz claim to be photojournalists...we really are!...check it out.

Youtube. Ottawa Wedding Pictures

I posted a wedding from last year on Youtube just for fun...well now it seems that its a hit with
over 2000 downloads in a few months. Here it is...enjoy.

The wedding took place at Stanley's Maple Farm near Russell Ontario. I remember the bride asking us if we would drive that far...lol. I told her we had recently shot a wedding in New York
City...!...so Russell was a cinch.

Oh...the horses were apropos...the Groom is a blacksmith.


Btw...pardon the poor quality of Youtube....come see it in the studio if you really want a good look.
