Sally’s favourite image is this one:

“Picking just one as our favourite pic…that’s a bit more difficult than it sounds for us! But by a resounding unan­imous decision by all our friends and family during all the many picture viewings it would have to be the picture used on the front cover of our album.

We love this shot espe­cially because it captures a bit of our person­ality in a candid and un-traditional photo. We also love the brick wall behind us, it really shows off Mark’s uniform and my red shoes!”

Believe it or not, that image was taken in late December! A far cry from all the snow we had last year.

This is the image I am most proud of:

The subtlety of the light illus­trates the evening setting as Sally and her Dad descend the main staircase just before the ceremony. I primarily photo­graph using found light, because it most accu­rately reflects the memory of the people in atten­dance, and this on was lit beau­ti­fully by the lights in the hallway. This was a full spread image in their album.

Claude wrote back to tell me why they like this one the best:

“This is our fave pic of the wedding. As to why it’s our favourite…

We not only like this photo because it’s truly a beau­tiful picture that just begs to be noticed, but also because it’s a rather inter­esting shot. All too often, wedding port­folios all follow the same ‘formula’ and one would be hard-pressed to tell them apart if it weren’t for the faces of the bride and groom! But this photo was rather unique and stands out not only within our own wedding album, but also among the many others we’ve seen.”

This was a tough wedding for Claude: only 3 days earlier, he had emer­gency surgery to remove his appendix! So for me, my fave of the day illus­trates that:

Susan and Michael cele­brated their 40^th wedding anniversary among friends and family today. And what better gift than profes­sional portraits to commem­orate the occasion?? Such was the thought of their daughter Wendy, who arranged for me to come by and take some photos for the big day

I met up with Martine and Stephen and the fam at the Arboretum for the last of their Year in the Life sessions. It’s always fun to see how much these two have grown between sessions

The previous session can be seen here here and here.
