Always exciting to be featured by our friends at the Wedding Co. blog. This time, we’ve had the chance to showcase Ewa and Alex’s rustic, DIY wedding at the Old Springer House. Wow, so many beautiful things: we loved all the different off-white dresses worn by the bridesmaids, the awesome tree-trunk centrepieces made by Ewa’s father, the edamame bean field (I think?) at the Old Springer House (one of our new favourite venus) and the gorgeous weather! It’s such a pleasure to share their special day’s photographs and video with you. Just click the image below to see the full editorial. Enjoy.
This is pretty fun news: our latest video, Naly and Ben’s Elopement Highlights, is currently being featured on the front page of the Wedding Co. blog!
Not only is it great to see that people dig our work, but Ben and Naly are personal friends of mine, as is Sean, who composed and performed the song used for the edit. Goodness all around!
We hope you like it and share it too! If anything, this video serves as a reminder that you don’t need a big fancy wedding – those are still awesome though! -, but that the most important thing is, actually, to take the time to tell that special person that you love them, and will forever.
Naly and Ben, we wish you all the best, and we look forward to having lunch with you guys once Ben returns from his exciting trip to China!
As an active editorial photographer I have the privilege and honour of working with and meeting some fantastic and fascinating people. Recently I did two portrait sessions with some of Audi Canada’s executives. Brad Beckett, Director of Sales, photographed at Real Sports Bar and Grill and Mike Briscoe, Director of Marketing and Product Management photographed at Hotel Le Germain at the Maple Leaf Square. The interview and candid photography are part of the “Why Here?” section of the quarterly Audi Magazine. It’s a place that the interviewee chooses as one of their favourite spots or places they enjoy, and it’s the first question of the interview. The objective for the imagery is to capture the interviewee in a candid, natural fashion and not staged or posed.
In order to capture both Brad and Mike in a natural pose I photographed both of these sessions during the interview. I also chose not to use any artificial lights such as flashes or strobes instead I opted to use the ambient and available lighting. This allowed me to do two things. One, I was able to freely walk around the subject and photograph from multiple angles and positions and two, I didn’t interrupt the interview which allowed for the natural expressions to shine.
On top of the portrait photographs, the story calls for some atmosphere shots of the location that the interview takes place in. I also chose to shoot both the Real Sports Bar and Grill and Hotel Le Garmain with available lighting. As both of these locations had such wonderful atmospheres.

From time to time I get a chance to interact and work with some of the best people in the wedding industry. Nisha Chandra and Paras Mehta both talented wedding decor designers were challenged to design table settings inspired by jewellery boxes: Cartier, Tacori, Tiffany and Scott Kay. You can see what they came up with on TheRingBearer.ca website. There are plenty of images there to draw inspiration from.
