A Winter Wonderland Wedding
Wendy and Andy have been a great couple to work with from the beginning.  They brought me down to their hometown of Squamish BC to produce their engagement portraits in their favourite outdoor locations.  They are the most affectionate and endearing couple I have yet to photograph.  On December 20th my assistant and I photographed their small and intimate family wedding held at Benvoulin Heritage Church in Kelowna.  Almost a foot of snow had just fallen in the previous few days, which definitely completed the Christmas theme.  It was bitterly cold, so the majority of their portraits were produced indoors both at the church and the beautiful heritage beach house where I made use of the stunning window light.

Recent editorial portraits published in Smart Business and Oil and Gas Product News
In early October, I produced some stunning editorial portraits from a quick editorial shoot of Wayne Love, a local truck driver, for Siefkes-Petit to promote high-efficiency Teleflex Heaters.  We had great fun with his bright yellow rig, the Okanagan landscape and Wayne himself.  I welcome the opportunity to be able to produce portraits of our wiser generations because their faces often show so much character and draw the interest of the viewer in. Below are a couple of my favorite images!

Canadian Living editorial on Alaina Podmorrow
I was so happy to be able to have the opportunity to photograph Alaina for the "Me to We" awards editorial in Canadian Living magazine.  Her work in fundraising with the charity LW4LW (Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan) that she started at only eight years old raises funds for teachers' salaries in Afghanistan who will provide equal learning experiences for Afghani girls. Alaina was a joy to photograph with her easy going nature and vibrant personality. I encourage you to support one of the youngest and most genuine philanthropists in our country.

Our country romance
We were traveling in the Lower Mainland and took an afternoon to enjoy Campbell Valley Park, the place where my wife and I spent most of our time courting each other with walks in the park over 8 years ago.  Like always, I took the opportunity to shoot some glamorous photos of Katherine, Bella and even let the camera be turned on me.

Wild Festival for Youth
Once again, I have offered my services to support this great event, which educates school kids on their wildlife neighbors, as well as promoting the fine arts and poetry of children through Robert Bateman's "Get To Know" program.  The children actively built bird boxes, learned to catch and release trout, and met many bird-of-prey species. What an exciting event for all attending; it was a joy to photograph!    Click here to view the online gallery.   (50% of any print sales will be donated back to the event)

Marketing for Center Stage Speaker Bracket
Lately, I have been doing so much branding for my clients. It's strange; when I went into art school it was my goal to become an art director.  I worked my way into a job at one of the biggest ad agencies in Canada; however, decided after graduating that I would pursue photography.  Somehow this path had taken me full cycle.
 

Tyler Gerace is an inspiring individual who has developed a product that he is putting to market and has hired me to produce some artistic product photos of his speaker bracket.  That has developed into a relationship where we developed a logo, packaging label, and website.  Please visit his newly launched website www.centerstagebracket.com and pass the word around to any home theatre aficionado.

Gala of Hope fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society www.galaofhope.ca
This is my third year donating my services to the Gala & what a fun event!  My wife loves getting dolled up for these big galas.  It is so important to us to be able to offer our services to help the society in any way we can.  Two and a half years ago we lost our brother in law and best friend Dr. Jeff Gawron to tongue cancer, so this is where everyone else's stories really touch our heart.

Long time coming
My wife Katherine & I have been traveling on the east coast and caught up in life's whirlwind.  It has now been a couple months since my last blog entry, so my belated new years resolution is to definitely keep the blog images coming.  Here is some of the great architecture in St. John & Charlottetown & a few travel snapshots too.

The Welsh Family
Being able to capture the transition of little Ewan Welsh from pregnancy to just after birth was an amazing experience. Here are the final designs for the Welsh family wall portraits that will be displayed up to 44" wide in their home. Ewan and big sister Sydney will grow up seeing how much they are adored!
