First Wedding of the Season

This is the first wedding of my 2010 summer season. Actually, it's the first one I've done since January, which is a break courtesy of the Olympic Games, which shut everything in town down for the entire winter. These guys were a lot of fun to work with, and really made for great photos.







Tech Stuff:
It was an overcast day with some light rain, which made for nice soft light, and not much need for any flash. The Edgewater Lodge is a great place to photograph a wedding, because it gives you a real range of locations and backgrounds, all within a short walk of the main lodge.

Camera: Nikon D700
Lenses: AF-S Nikon 28-70 and AF-S Nikon 70-200
Lighting: Natural

Le Bouffon

I really enjoyed doing the story on Trilby Jeeves and her Buffoonery classes, the one thing were missing was a shot Trilby in character. A couple of weeks later I was able to catch up with her after one of her acting workshops, in her character, Madam rouge.




A wide view of the lighting I used for these shots. There's also a kicker out of view to camera right.

Tech Stuff:
I used two Alien Bee lights, one with a 22 inch dish on it, and the other with just a bare reflector as a kicker.

Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: AF-S Nikon 28-70
Lighting: Alien Bees B1600 x2

Alexandra and Zachary's B'nai Mitzvah

I've been doing wedding and event photography for over 13 years full time, and I've never had the opportunity to photograph a Bar Mitzvah (or in this case a B'nai Mitzvah, a Bar Mitzvah for twins) until now. I have to say it was a complete blast.

The Olympics on, my wedding business has been pretty much shut down since January. This was a really nice event to do, and it also got me ready for weddings, which start up again in June.


Alexandra and Zachary's dad Jack had a terrific party at the Whistler four Seasons Hotel.


Everyone danced well into the night.
