Warning: Here comes a slew of disconnected paragraphs.

During the course of the week, three new amazing couples signed with me, and I’m so happy to get to photograph all of their unique weddings. The ideas range for Centre in the Square – to The Children’s Museum, or on top of Talisman Ski Hill (complete with gondola rides) – to the possibility of a wedding in Brazil.
Unique weddings need a unique photographer I suppose.

Tomorrow, I’m doing a trash the dress session with 2 brides. Hint: It involves paint. Lots of primary coloured paint.

Later in the week, it’s off to Las Vegas / L.A. – I’ll bring back pictures, lots of pictures.

I’m getting really excited for Anna & Matt, and Kristen & Josh’s weddings. They’re my two winter couples for December (Dec 20 – Cambridge, and 27 – Niagara Falls). I’m hoping for just a touch of snow, with warm temperatures in the afternoon.

Tonight is my first Saturday off in quite a while (that’s the life of a wedding photographer), and it just so happens to be one of my good friends birthdays. So, in celebration, 18 of us are taking a Hummer limo to Hamilton. I don’t think any specific plans have been made past that. Anyways, happy birthday Andres! (Aka Fes – stemming from a resemblance to Fes from That 70s Show..which just so happened to be his Halloween costume this year)

Oh, I should add a few photos here. This is a photography blog after all. Last weekend I took some photos of Hollie and her beautiful puppy, Jake.

Jake has more energy than any living being probably should. He calmed down for thirty seconds, and I snapped the above. Hollie is a wonderful hairdresser that works at Cowboys and Angels in Uptown Waterloo.

That’s all for today! Thank you for following my scattered thoughts. I’ll get the trash the dress photos up as soon as possible, because I know a ton of people are looking forward to them. My good friend Marshall Angus is coming out to video tape the experience, so you’ll get all the sights, sounds and ..well, I guess no smells, but you probably know what paint smells like anyways.
I called up my brand new 2009 assistant to ask if she wanted to join in the fun tomorrow, but apparently she’s in New York City! Julie and I went to NYC for the Easter Weekend this year, so I will use this an excuse to post a few photos from my travels there.

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge in January. Cold.

Leaving from LaGuardia x 2

January, I drove down with KW band named Gran Casino, to photograph their journey recording with Alex Newport (Mars Volta, At The Drive In, System of a Down) in Brooklyn. Over Easter, Julie and I nabbed the last room of an AMAZING hotel room sale, and drove down. 8 hour drive from Kitchener, and it only took my Corolla about a tank and a quarter of gas. Impressive.

Ok, that’s all. I swear. This has been my longest blog to date. My next post will likely come from Toronto’s Pearson Airport.
See you then!

Our first stop was A Fine Romance, a furniture store downtown Preston (Cambridge). They sell a lot of beautiful antique furniture, and were happy to let us shoot some photos there. From there we headed over the GCI, over in Galt, and then to the old train station. Here’s some of the photos we got.

That’s all for now. Round 2 is this Sunday!

*Alright, so we had scoped out a beautiful red swing that Marilyn was going to sit on, and Dan would push her. As we neared the red swing, and little kid comes flying over and jumps on the swing. He proceeds to stare at us as if we’re supposed to push him. Dan did for a short time. End of story.

Things started out in Starbucks with Lil’s bouquet in Jo’s pocket.

The day was also a hunt for the best wedding jump picture of all time. I think we got a few that come close.

The steps just outside of Waterloo Town Square

I discovered Value Mart on an engagement shoot a little while ago (with help from Alicja) and decided it was time to use it again

Something half serious

More orange wall.

The customary crossing of King St.

Alright, so it’s really hard to recreate Abby Road with 2 people in packed lunchtime traffic. But we tried.

We stopped by the LCBO for a quick party in the Party Zone

This is a shot in one of the entrances to Waterloo Town Square. I think it’s my favorite from the day.

Kitchener Wedding Photographer

We wandered around Rockway Gardens in Kitchener (They’re from Hamilton – thanks so much for driving down!) for about an hour, and took over 200 photos.

I’ll send you the link as soon as I have the rest ready!
