Last Monday i had the honor of being featured on the wedding blog Hot Pink Bride. Tabitha can really pick them, she features some of my favorite photographers on her blog and I’m beyond happy to have my work up along side theirs.

I am getting more then my fair share of awesome clients, Ashley and David fit in perfectly with my streak of killer couples.

Between their ready smiles, laid back style and amazing families…Their day was truly a photographer’s wet dream. The only regret I have coming out of David and Ashley’s wedding day is the fact we never had the chance to do an engagement session, I would have loved to get to know them a little better.

It was tough picking just a small number of images for this post. With all the tears, laughter and an appearance of a Dutch bicycle I got a lot of great shots…But in the end I had to settled on 29 images. So without further ado, may a I present a view into Ashley and David’s new beginnings.

So what kind of bride could make Dad look so happy? Check back and see for yourself.

Back in May I featured the band Arctic out of British Columbia. Afterward I started chatting with them via Twitter and I offered to shoot them if they were ever in the area. Last month they got a hold of me and let me know that they were playing the Phog Lounge in Windsor. Always loving a road trip, I jumped in the car and headed down to have a little fun.

Now, I am no band photographer…Nor do I want to be. However, I do truly believe that every once in a while you should get out of your comfort zone and try something new. I’m use to dealing with singles and couples when it comes to photography. If I ever deal with larger groups, like in a family session, I tend to try a more candid approach and capture “day in the life” moments. When it comes to music photography that really doesn’t fit. So, leaning on my skills posing wedding parties and doing a lot of research with music magazines and CD covers, I headed out to see what I could do.

Between being booted from a private road by a very polite federal officer, walking through grass that purportedly is home to rattle snakes (that’s what the sign said) and meeting the cutest dog on the face of the planet, I had the time of my life with these guys and gal. Now if they would only come to the London area on a day when I can go check them out…What’s with bands playing London during the week? Have they not heard of a thing called the WEEKEND?

Check out Arctic and send them some love on Twitter, Facebook and don’t forget to stop by their website http://www.projectarctic.com/

I’ve always loved the style over at Rock’n Roll Bride. Kat, the rock’n beauty behind RnR has a real eye for talent and knows what she likes. So it was a real honor to be one of her features. You can see the post here and while you are there check out all the other superb images on the site.

Thanks again Kat

Killer couple + classic car / great location = one amazing engagement session!

It’s always good when you get a killer couple, a couple that is laid back, not afraid of the camera and is willing to work with you on what ever comes into your head. But, when Erik and Arianne pulled up in a 1970 Karmann Ghia and a 1964 Ford Mustang I was happier then a kid starring at the gate to Disney World.
