(w) Victoria and Darryl

Saturday’s wedding was one fine little country hoe-down. And by country I mean the real raw deal, including taxidermy, cowboy hats and chickens.

Olivia, so proud of the awesome person that you are! You fit into our special day seamlessly, like one of the family. Beyond your superb talent, your fun, focus and down to earth, relaxed manner helped us all to keep having fun enjoying the day. When you first walked in and went face to face photographing our bear rug I knew you were the perfect fit for us! The pictures are stunning and really showcase all the special people- our guests, our families and Victoria and Darryl.
Mission Accomplished: Smiles, chuckles, sparkles, joyous tears: captured.
Many thanks for the beautiful, artistic take on the day.

Oh my goodness Olivia! You are such a tease with your ever so clever sneak peak! Thank you so much for being so patient at our ” big fat italian wedding”. (I hope you stopped to eat!) What an incredible talent God has given you! We were truly blessed to have had you with us for the day! You captured the young love of Rachel and Joel so effortlessly and beautifully. I wish we could have had a moment to chat with you as you knew our names and we felt that you knew our hearts…all this mother of the bride can do is…ask the Lord to continue to bless you and your work …..and the many lives that you touch through your lens, with your insighful spirit ,and tender heart. Grazie!

I knew that a few of my good photog friends were heading to Vegas for the WPPI Convention (1000s of photographers in one casino!) and I was kinda sorta mulling over heading there myself, when my good friend and awesome photographer Kirsten Lewis sealed the deal by tweeting three magic words: “photo scavenger hunt.” Those...

This is what photographers look like! A bunch of us photogs from Ontario met up at the wavedeck in Toronto and did what we love to do: shoot things. The subject was each other, and the fun was immense!
