Leah and Jay - Wedding

Last weekend I had an amazing time shooting Leah and Jay's wedding. You might remember seeing their engagement pictures here. Leah and I go back quite a few years when we began working together during our summers. I met Jay soon after the two of them started dating, when I began dating Leah's younger sister (also the Maid of Honour in her wedding.) As I am obviously extremely close to the family, I have been involved in knowing all the little details about this wedding from start to finish. Leah and Jay asked me to shoot the photography for their wedding, as well as the videography of the ceremony. This post currently is only some of the photos of their big day and the video will come soon.

You will see that the wedding is school themed and the reception was held in an old schoolhouse. There was an incredible amount of effort put into the decorating of the reception and the church as well as planning that began more than a year in advance.

Interiors

I love architecture and shooting interiors. When I get the chance I like to shoot the places that I go, and get a shot that looks great. Over the summer I had a great opportunity to shoot a home re-design by Debbie Travis and her show All For One. I was shooting mostly the kitchen re-make from start to finish. It was a crazy experience to walk into a local house that was totally gutted on the main floor, with television cameras and crews. I had to blend in with the workers that were there, just in case I was in one of the television shots. It was tight quarters with lots of people inside. I took shots of the beginning, middle and end of the project.

Below you will find some of my pictures from this project, showing start to finish. After the Debbie Travis images, there are some more of my interior shots.

Still Life: Water Drops

I recently tried my hand at shooting water droplets. It turns out, it isn't that hard, as far as the set-up and equipment. The tough part it trying to actually capture a good droplet, or the droplet doing something interesting. For this set-up, I had a glass baking pan sitting on a table, above the pan I put a ziplock bag with water in it and I hung that from a chair that I set on the table. I then put different pieces of coloured paper behind the pan and set my flash to fire at the paper. The pan was filled with water so once I poked a small hole in the bag, the dripping started. At this point it was all a matter of timing.

I ended up with some shots that I like. Click on Read More to see some more pictures. Enjoy!
