I’m famous!

Well, not really. But I feel famous

I had the pleasure of joining Floralove Katz on the Rogers local cable TV show The Ottawa Experts to talk about wedding photog­raphy. I share some of my best wedding photog­raphy tips, thoughts on weddings in general and talk about style.

Waiting to go on I was pretty nervous but once I got into the chair, every­thing went pretty well I think. It’s always strange to see and hear yourself though isn’t it?

I’d love to know what you think too! And feel free to ask any ques­tions you may have, and I’ll answer them for you here.

It’s been a while since I got to hang out with Melanie and Darren, but I had the oppor­tunity to catch up with them recently for session three in Gabriel’s Year in the Life. He’s grown a lot since his baby photos, and already has favourite places and things.

My last entry was about how Been and Shawn didn’t want to share then name of their at-that-time unborn baby. Well, little Ianto (yan-toe) arrived right on schedule and shortly there­after I was on my way over to make some photos of his itty bitty self. Enjoy! And contrats guys!

Bee and Shawn are expecting, and since the name for there soon-to-be-arriving family member is a closely guarded secret, you’ll have to stay tuned to find out the name they’ve chosen We know Huxley of course, although he’s grown quite a bit!

One of my favourite parts of a wedding day is when the bride and groom decide to see each other privately before the ceremony. It becomes a calm and special time that’s just for the two of them in an otherwise whirl­windy day of excitement. And so it was when Jessica and Paul first saw each other at Arts Court. Then it was off to the Msueum of War for some time with the wedding party before heading over to St Anthony’s for the ceremony. Cedarhill Golf Club was the spot for the reception, filled with laughs and tears.

A special thanks to Cristie at Stellar Events for making the day run so smoothly!
