I’m lucky enough to have second shot a number of weddings with my friend Amish over the last couple of years. I usually start the day by going to the bride’s house for prep shots, which I love. I’m going to start putting samples of them up on the blog this winter/spring, as I am *finally* getting caught up with things. I’m really looking forward to going back in the archives and bringing out some favourites. This was obviously a handsome couple to work with– the only real difficulty of the day was the very dark room in the temple in which the ceremony was held. No windows (open anyway) and dark blue walls and dark carpeting. Amish often sets up some off camera flashes and we share them with our pocket wizards. It’s often tricky to get it just right when a couple is walking in a circle, or even if they’re stationary… but I think these two worked out fairly well and in different ways. this wedding had the added bonus of having photographer Pardeep Singh in attendance as a guest, so I finally got a chance to meet him outside of Facebook!
Unfortunately I have about reached my limit for 2011 weddings. I am now unavailable for any further weddings/portrait shoots until possibly mid Sept. Off limits are Apr, May, June, July, Aug and the first weekend in Sept. Due to some forthcoming lifestyle changes I’ve had to put more limits on my bookings. I’m very grateful for the interest, however, and wish I could do more. Thanks for reading.

I photographed Sofia’s sister’s wedding three years ago, and what a pleasure it was to be at one of their family weddings again! The service was performed by Sofia’s father at the church where he has long been the pastor. Reception was at Sage Bistro, UBC.
