• Welcome to my blogsite!

    Hello, I'm a Vancouver, BC based photographer who loves shooting weddings, portraits, events, and more... please check out my portfolio galleries for a glimpse of my work!

    A wedding photographer has an awesome responsibility. There is only one opportunity to get the shots of those moments. I am honored each time a couple puts their faith in me to deliver beautiful images.

    I love working for couples who agree that getting the photography right on their wedding day is of utmost importance. After all, when it's all said and done, all that will remain of the flowers, decorations, cake... and just about everything else from that day will be the images of them that I have documented. They better be great!

    I am normally a man of few words (ironically, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Communications), and perhaps that's why I have gravitated to photography as a career - a picture is worth a thousand words, so I like to just let my images do the talking.

Andreja & Robert’s Engagement

Friday, April 30, 2010 Posted in Portraits

Earlier this week, I went out to Jericho Beach with Andreja and Rob for their engagement session. Rob works out of town – two weeks on, two weeks off, so it’s been a challenge scheduling his availability with the weather. Boy, did we luck out on the weather. The clouds looked beautiful!

I posted a bunch of B&W photos here, which I really don’t usually end up doing, but Andrea mentioned that she was thinking of printing some in B&W. Well, here are some examples!

Notice in the last photo that we ended up being followed by what looks like A Russian spy drone. Very mysterious!?

A little “Vegas” at a Vancouver Wedding

Monday, April 19, 2010 Posted in Weddings

Nella and Rino had considered a Las Vegas wedding. Well, that idea just didn’t fly with the family, so they changed their plans and honoured the family’s wishes. Now, as a surprise gift to the bride and groom, someone went and flew in a Neil Diamond impersonator from Vegas, just to do a set at their wedding reception! That was a definite highlight of the day! That, the croquembouche wedding cake (another thing you don’t see very often), and the real wedding crashers – how Vegas is that!!

Michelle & Nathan’s Vancouver Wedding

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 Posted in Weddings

There is a lot of buzz surrounding the release of Apple’s new iPad. What does that have to do with Michelle and Nathan you ask? Just that Nathan is a software engineer who happens to work at Apple… Hmmm, I wonder if he’s going to get an iPad?

Michelle and Nathan’s wedding day was however computer free. Just some good people and a lot of fun times. I really liked that everyone was so willing to let loose and just goof around all day. Both the ceremony and reception were at The Landing in Gastown – which is a very nice venue! For the “formal” photos, we walked around Gastown a little, then headed to the Rose Garden in Stanley Park. Being a wedding photographer in Vancouver means I get to hang out in some very nice locations – great backdrops for creating great images!

Burnaby’s Got Talent – snippet

Monday, April 5, 2010 Posted in Events +

Last week on April 1st, the 2nd annual Burnaby’s Got talent show was held at Michael J. Fox Theater. Twenty-two acts competed in “Junior” and “Senior” categories, along with a few “Special Guests”. One of which was a kindergarden student Lucas, who sang “I did it my way” for the almost 400 people in attendance!

The winner in the Junior category was Hip-Hop dancer Jahlil. All in all, a very entertaining evening. I’ll be posting many of the shots I took that night up in a couple of days – until then…

UPDATE: The link to view all the posted images is at Pictage. The number of images posted will be changing as more release forms come in, so keep checking back the performer you are looking for has not yet been posted.

Thursday, April 1, 2010 Posted in Weddings

Earlier this week I blogged about having an image accepted into the PPABC’s Image Salon show. I posted that particular image of Kristina, but here are a few of the other images from their wedding day! I hope they convey how much fun the whole day was. Partay!
