I captured this frame during Pam’s sisters speech during the reception. Yes, I got lots of the standard type shots you’d expect but this is my favourite.
Sometimes it’s the little details that are more important than what’s actually going on… the way they’re almost secretly holding hands and comforting each other during an emotional part of the speech.

I love this image from Alice and Greg’s wedding up in Georgian bay. One of the things that I’ve really been trying to work into my pictures is the concept of layering… essentially telling more than one story in a single image. The little girl having her picture taken, the bride having her picture taken, grandma with her new grandson… Sometimes you want to simplify your images to zero right in on the subject, other times you want to give the viewer a chance to wander and discover things.

Last week I had the honor and pleasure of attending the Mountain Workhops in Elizabethtown Kentucky.
The Mountain Workshop is an intensive week long photojournalism course run by one of the most renowned photojournalism schools in the USA, the University of Western Kentucky. The workshop is in it’s 35th year, each time documenting a different county in Kentucky.
The coaches at the workshop are really impressive, almost to the point of being intimidating. Multiple Pulitzer winners, long time National Geographic shooters and combat photographers are all roaming the halls.
Each student draws an assignment out of a hat (literally!) and spends the week both shooting and writing their story with the aid of their coaches. The nights go long with multiple speakers and critiques, we were lucky if we got 3 hours sleep a night.
My assignment was a single mother with two kids who’s grandfather had just been deployed overseas.
You can see my story here.
I’m still absorbing everything I was taught last week, but I’m already starting to see things differently and have no doubt I’m going to be a much better photographer.

You could let rain bother you on your wedding day, or you could smile and embrace it… even going so far as to have your first dance out in it.
