Every time I drive home after shooting a wedding, I always end up reflecting on the day as a whole.  For me, this is the first time I have met most of these people.  It may only have been the second or third time that I have met the couple.  But all the while, I’ve […]

Growing up, we shared a cottage along the water in the Muskokas.  We spent so much time there in the summer months with friends and family that I can hardly remember the countless memories.  What I do remember though, is the rain. I love the rain!  I love the feeling I get when it rains […]
