Next year is looking to be an extremely great year. Not only because I am already at 50% and many popular dates are already booked ,but I have a few exciting changes coming up.  I also have a few great trips planned for my self in order to advance and grow as a photographer.  Those who know me are familiar with my addiction to photography and travel.  I suppose this is why I started doing destination weddings.  As a photographer I love shooting at new venues/cities/countries.   It just gives me a good opportunity to be creative and go wild with the ideas.    My new goal is to persuade one of my clients to get married in the North Pole or Antarctica.  Come on, I know you want it and it’s not that expensive!!  :) .  Destination weddings are getting more and more popular every year.  It could be because the cost is a bit cheaper and because destination wedding images are very very different.  Vegas weddings on the other had are on decline(unknown source).  All the Elvis’s will soon have to find another job.

WPPI Print Competition

August 12, 2009

I received my images back from WPPI with some feedback from the editor of Rangefinder magazine, Bill Hunter(thank you!). It was my the first time entering a print competition and I made a few mistakes.  However, it was great to get a 2nd and a few accolades of excellence at the following categories: Wedding Journalism, Bridal Party, Humor, Bride and Groom Together.   Here are the images:

Here are a few shots from a recent Indian wedding at The Embassy Grand Convention Centre in Toronto.  I just love photographing ethnic weddings. They are always so colorful. This Indian wedding was no exception and as all my couples, they were an absolute joy to photograph.
