Hello and welcome to my life. I post updates here as often as I physically can, so have a scroll down the page!

So yah, this is my life. Have a look around.

I just so happened to be driving through LA that Sunday en route to pandas in San Diego. If you know me, you know how awesome I think pandas are.

So we got together for photos.

If you’ve seen 500 Days of Summer, this ones for you:

After a night in Laguna Beach (LCs parents house looks amazing – if only I had 13million to buy it) it was down the PCH for pandas (with a stop at Sombrero’s Mexican Food because Blink 182 put it in Josie.)

Where do I even begin? Maid of honor/sister of the brides water breaks early in the am. She debates telling Talia. Eventually goes to the hospital (where she works) and gets released for the ceremony. Comes out for the photo session. Goes back to the hospital, and has the baby before the wedding has finished dinner.

Amazing day.

Here are a few photos:

^ this is my favorite wedding moment of all time. Getting informed of the new baby

Made a quick little wedding video for Angela and Steve, who were married yesterday! No plans to become a cinematographer/videographer by any means, but I really enjoy the super 8mm, super 16mm look. It’s just getting the film, loading it, processing it, that wish could be faster. So I used the digital lomo camera I brought to Italy a few days ago.
Hope you like it!

A few photos from the day as well:

I was so excited to be shooting Erin and Brad’s wedding – and to add to the excitement I brought along my friend Tyler Bertrand. I loved seeing the reactions as I introduced myself as Taylor, and he introduced himself as Tyler right after.

Erin and Brad were married on Tom Patterson Island in the Avon River, Stratford. From there it was on to Confederation Park by the Gallery for photos, and then on to Arden Park Hotel.

All and all it was an amazing day.

Here are a few of my photos from the day:

It was a beautiful day, and there were some white doves to be released. Oh, and the doves will find their way back home to their trainer.

Erin coming down the aisle.

Here’s a slideshow with the images Tyler and I took during the day:

It was hot. Really hot.

Lake Mead from the air on the way in on Tuesday.

Las Vegas sized Eiffel Tower.

We flew into Las Vegas (in retrospect…we probably should have just flown into LAX) drove to the West Coast, stayed the night, drove back, and flew home.
Tuesday – had a room at the Monte Carlo, beside all the L.V. City Center construction. All the big lifting, and loud noises have pretty much come to a halt (they’ve been workin’ on this thing forever) and after checking in, we went out for a wander. Won a little bit of money, saw some cowboys, etc.

After 3 or 4 hours sleep we grabbed a rental car, and headed to the L.A. area. First stop – Baker. If you’ve seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas…you’ll be disappointed with real life Baker. I was looking forward to a city falling apart, and possibly Tobey Maguire with slicked back blond hair. No luck. We did find an old gas station though.

We took a random road and drove a few miles into the desert. There we found a beautiful abandoned fridge (as well as washer, and dryer). They each had a few shotgun wounds, but were good for a photo-op.

We hit the road again, past Barstow and onto L.A.

First stop was Walgreen’s on Sunset for some sunscreen. Second stop was Santa Monica pier. Parking was $1, and free after 6. Toronto has a thing or two to learn from CA.

From there we packed up and headed to Malibu. Free parking lined the streets, and surfers lined the ocean. No one was surfing…just floating, waiting for the waves to pick up.

There’s a great Jack In The Box on the Pacific Coast Highway…it’s beautiful, and right across from the ocean. Almost makes fast food seem good for you.

Parked outside a CVS, and ran up on the bridge for this shot. This is my favorite from the trip.

From there it was back to West Hollywood.

Hollywood in general is a slew of gated communities, gated mansions, and traffic. But…free parking! We went out to a restaurant right beside Ketchup (Lauren & Jason accidentally end up there with Heidi and Spencer in Season 3 of The Hills…that’s right, I know that off hand.)

The next morning we went out for a hike in the Hollywood Hills. They’re taller than you think.

(the Hollywood sign is that white spec in the distance)

Here’s a quick zoom of the smog level around downtown.

We packed up, and headed back to Vegas. Stopped at In N Out along the way. It was delicious. I really enjoy their menu system. You have your choice of 3 different burgers, fries or onion rings, and pop, milk, or a milkshake. That’s it. It’s like a Mac fast food joint.

We spotted a ghost town by the name of Calico, and popped off the highway.

I have a compelling desire to stay at this hotel.

Stopped outside of Baker again.

And then back to Vegas.

We stayed at the Excalibur as a joke. Common, it’s a castle..it looks ridiculous. And they upgraded our room to a full suite for free. (Thanks to overbooking)
For that…I may consider staying there again.

In the morning, I had a few hours to kill in Denver, then it was back to Toronto.

And that…was my trip.

I have never been so drawn in by a powder blue background.

Anyways, I decided to make my own – self portrait.
