WedLuxe Bridal shoot @ WEDBridal

On Friday, I did a shoot for the Summer edition of
WedLuxe Magazine. WedLuxe is a beautiful high-end, invitation-only magazine that raises the bar for bridal magazines here in Canada and features the best wedding vendors in Canada. Gemma and JoAnne of WEDbridal at 3882 Main Street kindly let me use their 'Alexi' dress by Palazzo and also a 'Chunky Pearl Necklace' by Tigerlilly. We commandeered the use of one of their fitting rooms for the shoot. They were very patient with me! Lana Nelson did the Hair and Makeup Design. As usual, her professionalism and great work made my job much easier and, frankly, even possible! Lovely Lia Holberg came on board as our model and hung in there with my constant adjusting and twiddling with the lights and posing.
Thanks Lia,
for working hard in some awkward positions (and to your Mom 'n' Dad for making you beautiful)!
These images were taken during the first part of the shoot. One never knows what point during a session will yield "the shot". For us, this happened near the end, using natural window light as a main light and a small softbox (thanks, Lana... I hope your arms aren't still sore ;-D ) as a fill light to the side. None of these final images are posted here; you will have to wait for the summer edition of WedLuxe to see... :-D

Bachelor's Night Out

On Thursday evening, I was out shooting an event put on by Angel of My Wedding Notes at Players Chophouse Restaurant and Lounge on Beatty street at Robson. My wedding notes makes it easy for brides and grooms to organize their wedding and do a better job of planning things so they don't get too overwhelming! The evening was a success and featured a fashion show featuring Jen Graham Lingerie Designs Needless to say, the guys enjoyed that... and hopefully some of that sexy lingerie will end up on their fiancées sometime soon! There were some cool things also going on such as a Photobooth, aromatherapy and beauty products, a gambling casino, fun sex toys, Lamborghinis and Harleys.... and great music! I don't have the info for those companies with me right now, but will add some links soon.

Jen'I' and Derek Wedding

Ca and Jay's firstborn

Around 2 weeks ago, I was in bed with my naked friends Camila and Jason...

HA. Ok, what I really mean is that we were making some beautiful maternity photos!
Less than a week later, baby Noah came. He was one week early. Regina and I rushed to the hospital and got there soon after he was born. I picked up some yummy Thai food, a bottle of Champagne and some strawberry Häagen-Dazs and we celebrated their healthy baby boy. Congratulations, Jason and Camila. See you soon!
