Ashgrove Farms Wedding | Stephanie and Trevor

Steph and Trevor were married at Ashgrove Farms in Cambridge / Guelph. Some days you end up with ridiculous amazing light. This was one of those days. Around 7pm the clouds started to clear, and we were left with an erie yellow/orange wash from the sun. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Distillery District Engagement Photos | Sasa and Kasia

I know a lot of photographers say it, but I’m going to argue them all, and say that I definitely have the best couples in the whole entire world. Sasa and Kasia are world travelers, and probably two of the most interesting people I’ve ever met – and I know I’ve only scratched the surface of who they really are.

Going to start off with a video of 173 of the photos we took over the 54 minutes we were together yesterday afternoon. Taken in the Distillery area of Toronto.

Fermenting Cellar Distillery District Wedding | Brittany and Bryan

Fermenting Cellar in Distillery is one of the best wedding venues in Toronto. Brittany and Bryan had an amazing day, and every detail was perfect. From her Monique Lhuillier wedding gown, to the flowers, to the lighting at Fermenting Cellar, everything was exceptional! They even had a team of artists there to paint the ceremony!

La Hacienda Sarria | Amazing Details | Britt and Brad

Britt and Brad chose my favorite (and I think the best) venue in Kitchener Waterloo for their wedding: La Hacienda Sarria. If you don’t know about it, it’s because well, no contact info really exists on the internet. It’s an amazing venue that spreads via word of mouth (well, Bingemans runs bookings for it now)

Anyways, the entire day was absolutely excellent.

Wrote a Book on Wedding Photography!

Wedding Photography Book

Hey all! I decided to do something positive with the time I was spending on airplanes, and in airports this year. I wrote a comprehensive guide of everything that I know about wedding photography.

I really want it to become the #1 startup guide that other photographers say to check out when asked ‘How to get into the industry,’ or any other questions people interested in the wedding photography industry might ask — anything from lenses, to business, to social media.

It’s all about laying the proper groundwork for a business that will make you happy in the future. This book will help you create a business that attracts couples that you really get along with, and have fun with.

Beyond that, it’s about creating your ideal lifestyle, as well as portfolio – and using social media (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Etc) to help grow your business.

Check out the main website here – or keep reading. New School Wedding Photographer

——————

The goal with this book was to write the book that I wish I would have had when I was just getting up and running. I’ve taken a lot of workshops over the past few years, and can easily say that you’ll get way more out of this book for the dollar value than any other workshop or seminar – that I’ve attended at least.

——————


Here’s the retail description:

Social media is changing the face of wedding photography. It’s now even easier to get up and running with a little help from Facebook and Twitter.

This is the book to read if you’re just getting started as a wedding photographer. It gives you the groundwork to launch a successful business that you can build from. It also details events of the wedding day, and the basics of how to go about photographing them.

110 pages are broken up into the following sections:
Part 1: Getting Up and Running (FAST!)
Detailed advice on how to set yourself up for success in the future.

Part 2: Shooting
Walk through a wedding day, and remove some uncertainty from the days events. Another perspective on how to professionally photograph a wedding

Part 3: Two Day Workflow
Don’t spend all of your time managing behind the scenes activities, and regain some of your life freedom

Part 4: A Few More Advanced Topics
General information about how to keep your business growing.

Part 5: Advanced Social Media and Online Marketing
Book more weddings by getting smart on the web.
