Nichola and Karim: An Engagement Session in Kitchener, Ontario | Wedding Photographer in Kitchener-Waterloo
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of seeing Nichola and Karim again for their engagement session in Kitchener, Ontario. I first met them last year for their wedding consultation. My first impression on them? They’re gorgeous, stylish, and modern. Plus, they clearly love each other! They’ve been together since high school and their relationship is still as strong as ever. They are getting married this July at Langdon, Hall in Cambridge and since I had a great time shooting their engagement session, I absolutely cannot wait to document their wedding! Here are a few photos from their shoot! One thing I love about shooting engagement sessions is…

How To Choose A Wedding Photographer
Recently, a debate among photographers in the wedding industry erupted about the state of wedding photography. It’s about a particular “system” that pretty much encouraged entering the professional field without the necessary skills needed to document your special day. The argument is that photographers can just put their camera on automatic mode and just pray to God they get something good. At first I didn’t care too much about this hoopla. I’d rather spend my time working on my own business than worrying about how other people run theirs.

Kitchener-Waterloo Wedding Documentary Photographer
Last summer, I had the pleasure of second shooting for James of Clickr Photography for a Cambodian wedding in Kitchener. My day started with the guys to cover the groom and his groomsmen as they got ready before the ceremony. Something I don’t get to do all the time as I’m usually with the bride when I’m on my own. Although I didn’t get to photograph the pretty , girly stuff, I sure had fun documenting the relaxed and playful nature of the boys. Here are the photos from that day!

Sheri and Matt: An Engagement Session in Kitchener, Ontario | Wedding Photographer in Kitchener, Ontario
It’s funny how things do pan out sometimes. Remember Lisa and Ian’s Elm Hurst Inn wedding from last post? They were just one of the two sets of couples hoping for snow that weekend. One wished for a winter wedding, and the other wanted a snow-themed engagement session complete with snow ball fights, snow angels, and maybe even a snowman. That couple was Sheri and Matt. Sheri and Matt are recent graduates who met right at the start of the their Pharmacy program at the new School of Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo. They fell in love not long after their first encounter. And they’ve been together ever since. So…

WPPI 2012 Highlights | Personal Story
Imagine this. 16,000 photographers in one place. A place in the middle of the desert called… Las Vegas. Yeah, baby! I’d like to tell you more about it but you know the old saying. Whatever happens in Vegas… Ha! Just kidding. Anyway, a little background. WPPI is an international association of wedding and portrait photographers that I am happy to be a member of. Every year, they organize a convention that provides photographers the opportunity to learn from the best in the world. This was my third year attending and I always come out if it with a great experience and tons of ideas to implement. Here are a few…
