Jenn and Matt – Engagement Shoot

When writing up these quick nonsensical intros to the shoots I’m always trying to think of new ways to describe what happened on them as each one is unique to itself. With that said there are only three words needed to describe the shoot I had with Jenn and Matt:

Ninja Grappling Hook.

Jenn and Matt were simply awesome rocking out at the Sault Canal during their shoot. I had such a great time from start to finish and I believe they did as well – the laughs started right from the get go and didn’t stop. Thanks for the great day Jenn and Matt and good luck with your upcoming wedding and all that the crazy future holds for you.

What Happens In Vegas…

… follows you home and shows up online when you’re a photographer.

At the start of March I attended the Wedding & Portrait Photographer’s International (WPPI) conference/trade show in Las Vegas. It was a great week where I was able to catch up with Mark and Chantal, meet some friends face to face for the first time and learn some crazy new things (such as my American friends not having any clue what poutine is!).

Out of the 14,000 attendees I knew approximately 7 of them and was hoping to meet up with them at one point or another. Twenty minutes after the very first session I was in we were all sitting in a bar at the MGM. It was pretty crazy how in an area so large with so many people you are able to run into the people you were looking for.

I’ve added some shots below from the trip. For a photography conference I really didn’t shoot much at all. The first 3 are quick shots from a trip Mark, Chantal, Jes and I took to Walgreens – with 3 completely different looks to them. The last 4 were shot by the awesome Jordan Chan at the Denny’s booth during the trade show – he was short a model and I’m always up for having a fun time.

Look forward to seeing some new stuff from me in the next couple of months.

As an added bonus to the trip – Jes and I won an iPad – BOOYAH!
