Weddings & Couples

Andrea & Joe

Andrea and Joe... a true power couple if ever there was one.  She is a doctor, and he is a lawyer, but both are also great, down-to-earth people.   

I was on this wedding as a second shooter as they needed someone to run a photobooth during the reception, but I was able to shoot all day as well.  I was realy excited about this as it added another great venue to this years line-up of interesting locations.  This wedding was held at the AGO in Toronto.  Great light, great backdrops, and lots of interesting shots. 

Here are some of my favorites from the day...

Erin & Josh

This was one of those days that just flew by!  We only had about an hour with both Erin and her girls, and Josh and the guys, before we all had to run off from Kitchener to Cambridge to get to the Mill on time.  It just seemed like it was non stop running back and forth, trying to get pictures of the venue between sprints to the other end of the Mill to see if Erin's limo was pulling up yet!  Thankfully it wasn't a terribly hot day, so it was manageable.   I also decided to break with tradition and try some flash lighting on the dance floor.  Im glad I did because it got realy dark after sunset!

 
“We really enjoyed having Aaron as our photographer. His unique style and image really shows in the pictures that he takes. He captures the moment rather than taking your typical posed pictures. He lets you call the shots but adds his own little twist to each shot....we would definitely recommend him to others, when looking for a wedding photographer!

A great venue on the water, lots of fun and activity happening all around, and more Hornblower jokes than I've heard anywhere else (Josh's last name).  All in all, a fast and hectic day, but some great shots to show for it...

Lauren & Tim

When I first met with Lauren and Tim to discuss their wedding plans, and he said they wanted to do their post-wedding formal shots at a gun range, I said I have to do this wedding!  Unfortunately the range ended up being unavailable for the day of the wedding, but being out in the country, Tim was able to get us some shooting space surrounded by corn fields.  I doubt I will ever shoot another wedding where the only thing waiting for the bouquet to be tossed was a load of bird shot.

 
“We have received the pics you sent – they are great! Tim and I were really excited to go through all of them to see your interpretation and perspective of the day! Your creativity really shows in the pictures as you captured so many different angles, lights, moments, and emotions. There are so many great pics of Tim and I, but the one where you caught my parents’ faces as I was saying my speech makes me cry every time I look at it. Thanks for all of your work throughout this entire process. You were a great help preparing for the day, and planning where to take the pictures. Your enthusiasm and willingness to be involved with the planning helped to make this one of the stress-free parts of the wedding planning process. We have already been getting amazing comments on the pics you sent as “sneak peaks”. We cannot wait to refer you to other brides and grooms!

This was a beautiful sunny day, and while it did make us all very hot, it also made for some great down-on-the-farm shots.  Hats off to Tim for transforming the dirt patch I originally saw in April into a great tent venue, on what had become a field of lush, green grass (I wish the grass in my yard would grow as well) by the day of the wedding.

Elly & Steve

I was thinking about doing a cheesey airplane joke here, but I'll pass. 

Elly and Steve are both pilots for a shipping/freight airline.  The theme of the wedding was then naturally all about planes.  It took place on Hamilton mountain at the Warplane Heritage Museum, which is right across the street from where they work (if I understood correctly).  This definitely made for some unique shots, and it was very cool to be able to get into the hanger where a few planes were being painted.  Lots of nice detail in those shots

 
“We got alot of great comments about the wedding pictures, and what we got from you blew the doors off what we had taken by family and friends. There were many unique shots around the airplanes and in the hanger that had cool effects. Some of the lighting was very challenging but you sure made it work.

If we have any friends or family that are getting married, we’ll make sure to send them to you. Thanks again very much.

-Steve and Elly”
 

Another great highlight was being able to go out on the tarmac and stick Elly right up on one of the engine cowlings.  I'm surprised this was allowed, but I guess when you work there, and everyone is "on board" (had to), its not such a big deal.

This was another short day.... only 3 hrs... but still lots of great shots were crammed into that short time.  Here are some of my favs...
