Hope everyone is having a great summer. By this time last year Lisa and I were in Los Angeles and then Las Vegas enjoying the hot temperatures and dry air. We had a very tight budget (that in itself is probably good content for another blog) because we were moving to Woodstock, Ontario, to start our photography business.
One year has passed and it has been really, really hard to say the least but we have also been working our butts off and finally have our studio at the new boutique mall "Canadian City Mart", which we also manage.
Our budget is still very limited but you have to start somewhere, right? We have our first wedding shoot this Saturday and can't wait to photograph the amazing couple, Erin and Jon. The wedding is going to be at their beautiful backyard.
For now, here are some snapshots of the studio:

Photo of the Week!

One of the reasons I love photographing weddings is the challenging situations of light and the fast action. This weeks photo is a good example of those challenges and knowing how to use the manual settings in your camera pays off.

"Walking For The Cure"

This is one of the most viewed images on my Fine Art website. It was taken in Edmonton a couple of years ago. I had just moved into a basement apartment and was tired from the move, so I decided sleep in only to be awaken by a roar of footsteps and many voices. I look through the window and see this sea of people and had no idea what was going on at the moment, but I went to grab my camera with a 70-200 mm lens and started snapping shots through the open window. I quickly learned that the people were walking/running for cancer. This is one of my favorite photos of the day.
