  • 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 photographer 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

    Regards Colin.

The Flaming Red Head Called Charlee

 

Just before Christmas I had the pleasure to photograph Charlee and what a pleasure it was.

Her red hair and those big eyes she just jumps out of  the picture.  One of the easiest kids I have photography.

The wind was very cold that day as you can see it was bringing tears to your eyes.

Her are some shots to show you this little treasure.

Way to go Scott and Krista.

Carstar Night with James Woods

What a fun night it was with special guest James Woods at the Carmens Banquet Center for a great cause Cystic Fibrosis this hole event was put on by Carstar Collision Service.

The night started for me at 6 .30 people started lining up to get there picture taking with James Woods. You could not ask for a more friendly guy he was great so down to earth and funny and loves the ladies too.

My job was to take the portraits with people who paid for there portraits with James Woods and have them printed ready for them by the end of the Question and Answer period with Mr Woods and all the monies raised with this went to Cystic Fibrosis.

The Question and Answer sessions was great, he had lots of great stories to share. The time went very fast I think it lasted for about an hour and a half  I am sure everyone who was in the room could have stayed all night with him.

Big thank you to everyone who came out for a special cause.

And thank you to Carstar for getting me involed.

Below are some of the shots that were taken with Mr Woods.

Jessica and Paul. Engagement shoot at Paletta Gardens.

Palletta Gardens is a great place to shoot. You have beach, water, old buildings, great stone, textures old trees lots of great spots.

This is were I met Jessica and Paul to photograph there engagements for them.

Jessica and Paul are from London Ontario and are getting married next August in London at the Old Cathedral  the sister of the one we have here in Hamilton, I have shot there before and looking forward to it again.

Here is a few shots of there engagement session it went very well. It is always good to have a photo shoot with the Bride and Groom before the wedding it lets them get a feel for what is in store for them and makes them more relaxed on the wedding, and also lets me get a felling for what the couple are like in front of the camera.

Enjoy.

Tracy and Lewis. Engagement Session at Hermitage Ancaster.

I have knowing Lewis since he was a toddler and his dad Robert we both grew up in a small town called  Biggar in  Scotland. His dad and I have always kept in touch.

This year I got a phone call from Tracy asking if I was available to shot their wedding next year. I could not believe it, here is Lewis all growing up and getting married. Oh my gosh time flies.

This past weekend I hooked up with Tracy and Lewis at the Hermitage in Ancaster, this is a special spot to them both,  I have not photographed there in a long time.

What a great session we had the light was great, still fall leaves on the tress, and I just loved the old roughness of the stone work. As soon as I saw it I new the type of finish I wanted to give the images to suit the location.

Here is a few.

Great job guys, you make a good looking couple.

Liuna Gardens Outdoor Wedding. Sarah and Rick

It was a perfect day for Sarah and Rick to have their outdoor wedding at Liuna Gardens in Hamilton.

The breeze coming off the lake was a blessing, cooling the guest’s sitting in the shade with 30c heat.

The ceremony was very up beat Rick was funny giving the guests a good laugh and Sarah was right in on the fun.

Liuna Gardens is a great place to have a wedding and the gardens is great location for the photography.Unfortunately earlier this year we had a bad wind storm that blow over the huge Weeping Willow tree it must have been about 100 years old it was great for shade on those very

sunny days that are great for weddings but make things tricky for us photographers.

Below are a few photographs of Sarah and Ricks wedding at the gardens as you will see it has a great variety of locations all within the gardens.

So if you are looking for a great location for your outdoor wedding this is the place to book. Do it soon as they book up fast.

Thank you Sarah and Rick.
