Sherri + Paul ~ Wedding Celebration Event

Posted in Weddings

Every now and again I shoot something completely different.   This time I shot a wedding celebration.  This was an informal gathering of Sherri and Pauls friends and family in thier backyard in Cambridge.

Before that however I asked them to get into there wedding clothes so I could shoot some formals since I could not attend the wedding.  It was in Mexico and I could not make it.  Shame too, because I would have killed to have shot them there.

So we asked the bridal party to come out to Riverside park and shoot some quick shots.  Nothing too formal.

Then a carnival broke out …. well it was there anyhow.  So Sherri wanted to shoot a few shots on the Merry Go Round and we convinced the staff there to let her do a ball toss game.

Since I am part of the family I shot this as a gift to them.  I really had some fun with the images and hope I gave them a gift that they cherish forever.

Thanks guys for doing this for me,  I had a blast.  Luv Ya.

Lori Lafond - Looks like a whole lotta love goin’ round especially with the image of the bride & groom by the carousel. It is refreshing to see wedding party photos that are carefree and full of laughter as opposed to posed for perfection.

Jerry Lafond - WOW…unbelievable images Rene. Absolutely beautiful pictures.
Nice to see some old familiar faces and also new additions.
Truly something to cherish forever.

Marylin + Jerry ~ Couple Photography Teasers

Posted in Portraits

Age.  Sometimes age allows us to relax, be ourselves and let our hair down a little.

I shot Marylin and Jerry the other day and I must say it went much better than the first time I shot Jerry.   Last time he was a tad formal.  Shirt tie, suit jacket, no socks …. all the things that make you say traditional and formal.

This time Jerry loosened up with Marylin and I must say I like these images much more.   For no other reason than it was much more relaxed.

We went out to Saginaw Golf Course and shot a few images.  Right until the rain came.  Of course now I have to go out another time with them and finish this session, but I like the images we got so far so I thought I would post a few.

I apologize for making you come back in the rain to help explain how my golf cart worked.  If you had not I might still be out there going Hmmmm.   LOL.

The Unexpected Shots ~ Personal

Posted in Personal

During the course of any shoot I never truly know what images will be there.  I plan to get a certain type of image ie.  candid, or semi-posed or formal depending on what the clients want.  But every now and again I get one that just kinda sits there on its own as a one off.

I like when it happens, it was not until recently that I was able to let go enough to work shots that were out of the ordinary.  I am not really sure if it was nerves, or just some wierd OCD moments.  But whatever the case I am sure glad that I find time to keep the out of the ordinary or unexpected shots.  If I hadn’t I would have missed the above image of Jason digging into the meat he cooked for a reception.

In the end the anticipation factor is really what I am enjoying.  Anticipating the shot, and anticipating what the result can be when I look at the back of the camera and see something unexpected.

Tara + Billy ~ Engagement Session

Posted in Engagement

Every shoot is different.  Every couple unique.  But in all cases love and photographs translate the same for everyone.

I shot Tara and Billy’s engagement session a few weeks ago at Websters Falls in Hamilton.   This is the second time I had the chance to go out there for a shoot.  I did notice that each time I go to a location I choose a different approach to the images.

Tara and Billy are an awesome and interesting couple.   Tara has a small amount of Diva in her ( in a good way) and Billy is just an overgrown kid.  During the shoot I even thought I might have to go get him and drag him back to the shoot because he was running all over and playing in the mud:).   That is what makes it fun.  Watching the personalities of two people in love come out during a session like this.

No matter what they were willing to play along.  Have fun, and allow me to try some fun things with the images.  I am really looking forward to there wedding in August.  It should be a blast, and we have another interesting location picked out.   Stay tuned.

Slideshow below, may take a moment to load.

Lori Lafond - Full of beauty – the location and the essence of the people you captured. The photos of the couple by the fence and the woman by the rocks are particularly stunning.

Melissa + Chris ~ Kitchener Wedding Teasers

Posted in Weddings

It Never Rained !!!.  Well it did, but not until were were at least finished the portrait session.   I had a blast shooting Melissa and Chris’s wedding.

I have known Chris a few years ever since his family were neighbours.  So I was totally pumped to shoot his wedding.  I had only met Melissa a few times prior to this but she is a great woman.  Fun, kind and totally into the whole experience of being married to Chris.

I came up with a few images from the day to show you while I process the entire wedding.  So I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks to everyone in the wedding party for helping me with my gear, and to Melissa’s father for ensure my gear did not just up and disappear or get totally waterlogged when it did finally rain.  You guys are totally AWESOME !!!
