A Teaser for Scott+Trish...er...Trish+Scott

I'd like to start by wishing all the best to Scott+Trish and to thank you for the upmost pleasure in photographing your special day.

When shooting a wedding, it can sometimes be challenging to choose a favorite out of hundreds and hundreds of pictures.

I still have hundreds more to look through; but a quick edit later and we've got something special here.

More coming soon...

Flowers; and how I lust a macro.

I never quite understood people's obsession to take pictures of flowers. Oooh. Pretty.

Spending an afternoon taking pictures of flowers has really changed by stance on that issue. If someone can take an amazing picture of a flower, their abilitites can transcend into portrait work.

Lighting. Subject Positioning. Framing. Depth-of-field. Critical point. It all applies.

I'll share some of my favorites here, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some more in the future.

The one minute light test

In preparation for Trish+Scott's big day, I made the arduous trip east to Oshawa in snow squalls,on treacherous roads, uphill both ways...

Well, not really.

Scouting is something I actually enjoy. While adapting to change is an indispensable tool in a photographer's toolkit; the less time and effort I spend familiarizing myself with surroundings on the day of, the more time I have to take some amazing photos. It's also nice to get a feel for the day from the bride and groom closer to the wedding day, especially when you're handed list upon list (thanks Trish!)

It wasn't formally a "shooting" occassion, but in testing my lighting set-up for the reception I  got about a minute of camera time, which was never really intended to hit my digital workflow, but here they are. It was interesting to test out some new processing techniques that I've been holding in my pocket for a special occassion.

Enjoy!

Coming up next for Fodor Photography? The full wedding, a workshop, and long overdue commercial projects.
