Preety & Sanjay had a beautiful wedding on a rare sunny day in Vancouver. Since their reception was in Toronto the week following their wedding it was a much more relaxed atmosphere since they had the day to themselves. They are both so cute and funny together it was hard not to take a photo of them smiling.

Enjoy!

Fahlina & Fuzail had a gorgeous wedding that spanned a few days. I was lucky to be able to capture all the festivities. Fahlina & Fuzail both have warm welcoming families and as the celebrating went on it was nice to feel like you were part of the family. Definitely a lovely couple and together with the wedding party we photographed in Stanley Park. Congratulations to Fahlina & Fuzail!

Enjoy!

During these past few quiet days with the family, I had a good chance to reflect on 2011. It truly was a great year for me.

From a business standpoint, I was blessed with some wonderful couples and unforgettable weddings. I was so excited when I found out that I would be published in two known magazines this year as well. I also had a chance to experiment with new concepts which will help me with some big plans for 2012. I definitely want to thank Tyler Simpson and Fred Lin for being two of the best second shooters a guy could ask for.

As usual, I was lucky to have traveled a lot in 2011, some for work and some for FUN. I’m a big proponent of traveling. I believe it helps you develop character and compassion and forces you out of your comfort zone. There’s plenty of time to sit on the couch and catch up on your sitcoms when you’re 90. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

My circle of friends has changed this year, and I’m so thankful for the people who have entered my life. There are some big changes coming for Alice and I as well as we made a big purchase in 2011. We’re both so excited and can’t wait to enter the next chapter of our lives.

A few weeks ago, I attended Scott Robert’s Bahamas workshop. Scott asked me to shoot a wedding with him and also to give a lecture to the students attending the workshop about my experiences and struggles in my career. I was excited about shooting a wedding in the Bahamas and extremely nervous about giving a lecture…what can others possibly learn from me and what can I share with others?!?! However, I knew it would be a good challenge for me and maybe it would even help others out a little. The day finally came when I shared my story and struggles. The lecture went really well. My entire experience in the Bahamas was a huge breakthrough for me. I really didn’t know what to expect at this workshop. I knew I would be reunited with old friends and maybe shoot a few photos. However, this workshop really touched me on a personal level. Up until this point in my life, I don’t think I’ve ever had such deep and meaningful conversations that lasted for hours and hours and really rattled me at my core. The entire Bahamas experience re-energized me and got me excited about all the projects I want to work on in the near future. I am so thankful for this amazing experience. It will definitely have an effect on my personal growth as well as my business.

I’ve posted a few photos below. Enjoy and have a great 2012!

Last Friday we were able to spend the evening with family, friends and past clients. It was a night filled with great music, awesome food and many toys for the Victor Ghirra annual toy drive.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, Blue Lotus Productions and Riverside Banquet Hall

We can’t wait to do this again next year!
