Brilliant Clients in Edmonton!

Again sorry for not posting more of my weddings.. I really need to... yikes,

This summer has been rolling along pretty good from the Commercial side. Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel is running for a 3rd term and he asked me to photograph new campaign images for him, Avenue Magazine had me photograph CFL quarterback Rickey Ray which was also alot of fun. And reciently I worked in Vancouver for Samsung and Saskatoon for PotAsh Corp.   

I have quite enjoyed shooting weddings over the weekends. I am personally at a point in my career, that I can choose who I want to work with. Its a nice position to be in for both me and my wedding clients.

Many shooters do not want to shoot weddings, but to be honest if you have good clients, and are allowed to do exactly what you want, weddings are a really nice break from the face paced, pressure filled world of commercial and editorial photography

So here is a posting of a few images from Sam and Sareena's wedding.

Our formals were shot at the ledge grounds (which is a really nice place to shoot) and then a series at the highlands golf course.

A lot of photographers seem to think you have to shoot in an beat down alleyor somewhere super unique to provide unique photographs. For my shooting style I couldnt disagree more. My shooting style is pretty tight, which means I focus primarily on the couple, so location for me is really not all that important.

A big trend amongst Edmonton wedding photographers is to shoot wide, showing off their locations. That's cool, but its not for me.

Most of my commercial work is shot with a telephoto lens. I like to fill the frame, make the situations intimate and make my viewers really feel that the image is "full".  This approach has severd me well, so naturally I don't change my style when it comes to weddings.

We had great weather, and they did such a fantastic job, no stress and alot of fun.
