  • 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.

Wedding of Jennifer and Brad, St Mary’s Hall, Hamilton.

Holly and John engagement shoot in Caledonia Ontario.

I first photographed another couple Erin and Chris  in Caledonia earlier this year, and loved shooting there that I had to go back.

So meet Holly and John, they are getting married May 2014 and wanted to have there engagement photo session down this year. Great couple, I suggested a few locations, and was happy to they pick Caledonia.

Below is a little sneak peek of there hard work, they were such fun to photography, and judging from these shots Holly is going to make a stunning bride, I can’t wait to see her in her wedding dress and photograph the both of them together on there wedding day.

Thank you Holly and John

 

Paula and Mykul wedding at Knollwood Golf and Country Club

What a great day Paula and Mykul had for there wedding.They both smiled from the time I started photographing them  at there home until it was time for me to leave in the evening. And there guest  just added more laughing and fun.

It was a very relaxed event,  Mykul kept telling me it was going to be one of my easier weddings I would cover. He was right the hole day flowed along without any issues from a photographers point of view, so hopefully it was the same for Paula and Mykul as they sure looked like they were having so much fun.

Having the hole wedding take place at Knollwood  Golf and Country Club in Ancaster was a good call, and also a great place for photography lots of options as you can see from the shots below. I hope I get a chance to shoot their again.

Thank you for having me along you both were great to work with. And Paula I think you have worked in front of the camera before as I found you worked great with the camera.

Niagara Falls Wedding of Rachel and Greg

Rachel and Greg, love Niagara Falls Canada.

So what would be more fitting than  to have there wedding take place there. They picked a very unique place to have there ceremony at the Bird Kingdom  with tropical birds and scenery, water falls and a very special Japanese Tea Hut.

I think all there guest were clad they had the ceremony there, because the weather outside was not pleasant at all. The wind was blowing about 70klm and the wind chill was very cold and to top it off snow showers this was a day like February not the middle of April.

After the ceremony we took advantage of the indoor location for all the family portraits and most of the bridal shots. And so with all these tropical birds flying around what do you think happened. Yes, Greg got the lucky bird poop, or so I am told it is lucky to get hit by bird poop.

We did however venture outside to go across the street to the  gardens but the wind was still blowing. I take my hat off to  Rachel for sticking it out with here bare shoulder dress and the Bridesmaids too because they were freezing by the time we got back to the Limo.

We ended up at Elements of the Falls Restaurant right beside the falls. The area that Rachel and Greg had there dinner tables set up gave you a perfect view of the falls.

Here is a taste of some of the shots of a great couple on there special day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Engagement portraits of Erin and Chris, Caledonia,Ontario.

Meet Erin and Chris.

Erin and all her family go back a few years now. I have had the honor to photograph all of the siblings, Melissa was the first wedding I covered , next was Matt and now it is Erin’s turn. Erin and Chris wedding is coming up in a few weeks, and I am looking forward to meeting everyone again.

Their wedding reception is going to be held at Lasalle  Park Pavilion in Burlington, May 24th.

Erin and Chris had two old bicycles they want to use for the engagement shoot that sounded great, I suggested Caledonia it has the old town old town look with the old bridge and train station would give there engagement portraits a dated look.

The day we pick was beautiful and the shoot was going well until Chris remembered he had left his wallet under a bench we used earlier. You got to agree that is the worst feeling loosing your wallet.

So off he went jumped in his car, got there no wallet, he ran down to people that were fishing at the grand river, no luck. But it just so happen a lady saw him looking for something from a distance so she walked back to Chris and asked him I guess you are looking for your wallet, and Chris said he gave her a big hug and thanked her. That must have been a big relieve.

It is good to know there are honest people around.

And here is a little taste of the shoots.

Looking forward to the wedding.
