Santo Domingo - Diego Columbus' House

Thought I'd throw up a few snaps from Diego Columbus' house in Santo Domingo. If your history is not up to par (because I'm not), he was Christopher Columbus' son.

Dominican Republic

Coming down to the last day in the Dominican. Stayed at the NH Real Arena Resort in Punta Cana / Bavaro Beach... nice resort and got to enjoy a lot of the sun. Also got a chance to check out La Romana and Santo Domingo. Full review and photos when I get back ;)

Valentin Maya Resort...

What do 2 photographers do at a resort on the Maya Riviera when the weather is spotty? Make a shoot out of it of course! The Valentin Maya... fantastic service, great food and a photographer-friendly backdrop in every corner!

Model Shoot - Sweet Suzette

This is an oldie but a goodie. One of my first fashion shoots but definitely one of my favourite shots from my portfolio came from this shoot with the beautiful and talented Suzette!

Jenny & Darren w/ Butter Media Inc

Urban wedding style shoots are my fav... hence the name lol... Here's one of Jenny and Darren, they came to town from New York for their wedding in Vancouver. Lots of fun in Stanley Park and Gastown.

Angela & James w/ Butter Media Inc

You might be starting to notice that I looove the candids. :) That's why I'm really like the blog style of posting pics more and more everyday. Here are a few of my favourites from the lovely Angela and mild-mannered James' wedding. Their bridal party was a lot of fun to shoot and we definitely came out with a lot of fantastic shots.

Portfolio Revisited - Neil & Bonnie


My oh my... is it ever hard to get some time to do some blogging during the peak of wedding season. I'm hoping to get back to some studio work again, but it's starting to look like that will have to wait until late Winter! In the meantime, I thought I'd get some Photoshop time with my previous shoots.

Let's start with Bonnie and Neil. I was assisting the talented Gina at buttermedia.ca on this one. Definitely one of the nicest and easy-going couples I've had the chance to work with. Great peoples and they looked amazing too!
