I’ve seen it done before and now it is my turn to compare where I started to where I am today.  Can’t be all that bad right?  The good news is, now is where we are!

I started shooting weddings about 5 years ago when a friend asked me to take photos at her wedding.  My thought was… are you nuts?  I had been doing family and baby portraits up until then but never dreamed that I would take the responsibility of shooting someone’s wedding.  My friend had a really tight budget and assured me she just wanted someone to take some good pics for her, she wasn’t expecting a lot.  Alrighty then.

These are the photos I gave her from her engagement shoot…

Sweet fancy moses… I was shocked to find A SELECTIVE COLOUR IMAGE!  It wasn’t even very good selective colour image (not that there is such a thing).  I think at the time I was using Picasa to edit!  How about that tilt?  I was feeling really profesh with that one.  The one image I will admit, I caught the emotion but it was out of focus so my solution at the time was to make the edges even blurrier.

I will say by the time their wedding came around I was a bit better and they did get some good images but I think it took me three weeks of blood sweat and tears to edit them.

Since then I have shot many, many weddings and it has become my full time gig.  I truly love shooting people in love.  Here are a few favourites from my latest weddings.

My style has evolved with these words in mind ‘simple, timeless… love’.

… and I went to a few meetings to overcome my problem and I am happy to say no longer shoot with a tilt.
