Tanya & Tyler . . .

I have to say quite easily that Tanya and Tyler are the only bride and groom so far to bring me to tears before we even hit the wedding day. When I first met with them for their consultation at their parent’s house I was so welcomed by her family’s warmth and then we began to talk about the details of the day. I often ask my Bride’s and Grooms what’s the most important thing to you about your wedding day or to give me three words to describe what they want it to be about. This kind of gives me an idea of who they are and what my approach will be to photographing them. So when I asked this question of Tanya – she immediately teared up and explained with heartfelt emotion that the main thing she wanted from her wedding day was to see Tyler at the end of aisle and to say I do to him forever. I’m not sure their was a person at that table that couldn’t reach out and touch their love at that moment – I know this all sounds so sappy but it’s the main reason why I do what I do Here are a few photos from the day – Hope you enjoy, and thank you Tanya & Tyler for including me in your day

This next one was great – we were walking down to a different section to take some more photos and the ladybug just landed on her hand. Such a sign of good luck

I love shooting couples in love . . .

Yes I know being a wedding photographer this should happen a lot but sometimes it’s more evident than others. Today I went out with Dana & Geoff and for two who were worried about being photogenic I think we will have no problems with the wedding photos. Here are a few (a lot really) photos from the day and you can view a slideshow of these photos by clicking here . Thanks guys again for a great time today and being open to trying some new stuff! Hope you like the photos and the rest will be ready before the end of the week for you!

Slideshow of recent shoot

Hey one and all so here’s the first real post – my website is live! wohoooo and among all the other new and funky programs and equipment I have bought in the last little while – I got showitfasts web slideshow program and I have to say I love it! Check out a recent slideshow done for a client getting married in May – these are the engagement photos and the bride loved the slideshow – I have a good feeling about this program…. click here to view the slideshow. In other news I also did a couples portrait session with Jimmy and Brianne – Jimmy is a friend of my brother’s and is practically a member of the family at this point – so he came with his girlfriend Brianne to the botanical gardens (wearing the sweater my mom gave him for Christmas one year) and we got some really fun shots! On a side note Amanda Lachapelle Photography will be happy to welcome Brianne in January when she will start with us as a co-op student! Check out a few photos from the day

It’s been awhile…

Oh but I promise there are some good things to come – in fact you might not even know what hit you once I put up all the new changes and stuff to look at for now sit tight
