  • Hello and welcome to Today’s Faces Photography Blog

    Hi Colin here, thank you for stopping by Today's Faces blog.
    I have been full time in the Photography business for over 20 years yikes! that's a long time. I do not know how many weddings, portraits, business portraits, fireman calenders, bill boards, also all the wedding albums, wall portraits that are in peoples homes.
    But I would say it has, and still is great to be full time in the photography business.
    Although the photography industry has change over the years I would say it is a little easier to capture a well exposed clear image but it still takes years to train your eye to know what makes a great strong image than just a snap shot.
    It is on this note that the 20 years of experience that I have been a image maker has made me develop a style that my clients enjoy.
    Anyway, enough on me I hope you will enjoy the blog, and drop buy often as I am going to try and keep it up to date.

    And a big thank you to all my past and present clients

    Colin.

THE HEAT WAS ON FOR EMILY AND JOSHUA’S WEDDING.

Oh my another very hot and steamy day that Emily and Joshua had for their wedding day, and the sudden down pours of rain it was like some one just turning on a huge hose.

The morning was dry but just as Emily and Joshua were coming out the church someone turned on that huge hose again and down came the rain. We had to stay inside the church for the family portraits.

We left for Puddicome Farms I have not photographed at this location before until now, and here I was  back again just the day after Luke and Laura’s wedding were they also picked Puddicome Farms for the wedding party shots.

Man was it humid, you did not have to move much until the water was running out you. I am sure the wedding party would all agree.

Emily and Josh booked the train at the farm, we boarded all the wedding party the Video guys and myself with all our gear and headed for the apple orchards that was worth it,the rain had just stopped, I love  what the rain does to grass, trees, it makes them look so lush, makes for a great canvas for pictures.

We did not stay long as that big hose again was about to start and I did not want to take chance getting the wedding party soaked, do not think I would be too popular if that happened.

Off to  Winona Vine Estates to start the evening part of what was a great day, a steel band was playing for the guest arriving and that music gets everybody dancing.

Thank you Emily and Josh for letting me capture your wedding. I hope you had fun, as I know I did.

Lily and Vince

I am sure everyone would agree Lily you looked fantastic, and you were so much fun to photograph and the whole wedding party were great too.

On the the way to Lasalle Park Pavilion in Burlington we had to stop and get a shot at Lily’s bus stop she uses when going to work, great idea.

Great day super weather could not ask for anything better.

We walked down to the water front, Lily and Vince danced on the dock, walked the paths along the waters edge.

I hope you both had as much fun as I did photographing your wedding. Look after one another you make a great couple.

Gowlings National Managers Day

Thank you Laurin for inviting me a along to photograph  the National Mangers Day .

I caught up with the Mangers as they had a quiz and tour on board the H.M.C.S. HAIDA. Laurin had made up a quiz for everyone, the question that had a-lot of people stumped, was why is the toilet on a ship called the HEAD. I think the answer is, in Older days the toilets were always at the front of the ship that was called the head.

After the Haida off to the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club for cocktails and supper the evening was beautiful and the steaks smelled so good.At this point I left the group and joined up with them at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Hamilton to photograph a large group shot of all the mangers 70 in total. I had to pull this one off quick as the were all leaving for their flights home.

Andrea and Tom’s Day

What a gorgeous day we had for Andrea and Toms wedding not to hot and not cold. We started out at Toms house all the guys were there before I got to the house and the shots started, meaning drinking shots the band was playing the guys were fun to photograph.

Then off to Andrea’s home that was just around the corner, it was a busy house with lots of people the band came around from Toms and then the dancing party began in the driveway, the hole street must of knowing there was a wedding happening.

The only surprise that happen was when  showed up at Erchless Park in Oakville, the guy showed up looking for a fee of $250.00 for a permit, ouch! when did this happen anyway we got it all figured out.

Thank you Tom and Andrea for having me along to capture your perfect day.

Tanya and Glen Engagement shoot

Tanya and Glen booked me last year to shoot their up and coming wedding actually July 31st. I like to photograph couples before their wedding, it lets us get to know each other better and gives clients a better understand and I think it relaxes them when the wedding day arrives.

We decided to meet on Wilson street in Ancaster and these are some of the images we shot, great looking couple,  and found them very relaxed, comfortable with each other and that makes a difference .

Looking forward to July 31st.

Enjoy

Colin
