R & A Wedding | Turbo Haüs | Montreal Event Photographer

I’m a huge fan of DIY style events. When a friend of mine proposed to his then girlfriend (and now wife!), I told them that I’d be totally down to photograph their wedding. I don’t do the 20-30 weddings per year that the more full time wedding photographers do. I keep it to 2-3 a… Continue reading R & A Wedding | Turbo Haüs | Montreal Event Photographer

Salon du livre de Montréal | Montreal event photographer

Between lockdown x and sanitary measures y, there were a few months in late 2021 where business started to pick up, where things started to feel almost “normal”.

One of the nicer surprises was signing… Continue reading Salon du livre de Montréal | Montreal event photographer

Sweet Roger | Artist Portraits | Montreal Portrait Photographer

As much as studio sessions can be fun, there is nothing like booking a few hours and heading out with someone to make some portraits… walking the streets (always with a certain plan of course), making images with what inspires us.

It is about time I blog up these images!  It was a few months back that this amazing couple got married.  The day started off really hot and humid [insert random joke about their wedding night here] and only got worse from there.  The rain hit about 10 minutes before the outdoor ceremony.  Let me… Continue reading A wedding story | Alyson and Cristian | Montreal wedding photographer

Grand Lark – Promos and live shoot | Montreal Concert Photographer

There are two things when you do concert photography that go hand in hand… live shots and promotional shots.   You often don’t have much time to get your promo shots done, and are often stuck with shooting in or around the venue.  So taking advantage of what you see and acting quickly is key.… Continue reading Grand Lark – Promos and live shoot | Montreal Concert Photographer

Food for thought at Freshmint | Montreal food photography

I was contacted earlier this year by Pemako Films to be part of a food photography/videography project for local company Freshmint, which produces high quality tasty food and delivers to your door (only available in the old port area).  The project ping ponged between short videos, photos, longer videos, behind the scenes photos, no video,…… Continue reading Food for thought at Freshmint | Montreal food photography
