Meet bear bear. He’s living the dream — naps and chills throughout the day, eating treatos left and right, and zoom zooms and parkour’s around the house unhinged.

It’s been a gloomy week with lots of rain, which only means spring will come in full force and bloom quicker though so that’s plus.

I personally wanted to explore and photograph outside for pure, personal enjoyment. That will have to wait. On the other plus plus side, I’ve been super productive with tackling my to-do lists

The weather this week is looking phenomenal if you reside in Ontario! One of the things I look forward to is to break out of this winter, hibernative, reflective season into a new season of being in creation mode. Whether that be events or simply for the sake and genuine desire to create imagery. I’m sure there are many others in the same boat looking forward to this new season to create their hearts out in their own way and their zone of geniuses

R&B vibes — literally & figuratively

Cruzin back to this destination wedding in Jamaica last year. Highlighting some moments I was able to photograph for A & K during their beachside wedding ceremony.

Backstory: it had poured rain just before the ceremony so everything had to be put on pause for a bit. That’s just how wedding days go sometimes - micro detours in plans- but we kept making the most of the situation! More on this I will share in another post for another time.

My overarching goal during your wedding day is to capture your most authentic moments — unabashed, elegantly and romantically. To add to that I’m also quiet drawn to creating portrait artworks like this image above. This was a made from one of the weddings I photographed earlier in my career and have been drawn to it since.

Happy Sunny day if you’re in Southern Ontario! To share on this beautiful day here’s more photos from A & A’s engagement photography session up in Whispering Springs this past fall.
