It’s always exciting to get an artist as a client, especially someone who paints, because my work is heavily influenced by my mother who I grew up watching paint paintings. You don’t realize the abnormality of looking at art all of the time until you go to other people’s homes and start paying attention to the norms in society — so when an artist reaches out because they see the same type of painterly things in my work… well the bond feels almost immediate.

I felt really excited for Alex and Jordan to get married with their kids present. Like them, Dave and I kind of did the traditions in reverse so that our kids were present at our wedding too. There is something really special in having them there (despite some of the added work required to ensure they have suitable care during the day).

What a beautiful fall day it was up in Grenville-sur-la-rouge at the Hotel Lac Carling. The colors reached peak Autumn, peak sun throughout the ceremon. As a photographer working with harsh light has it’s dramatic benefits especially when there is a veil vying for a lot of attention. I mean… really I could do a whole blog post on the veil.

Jordan breaking down in tears as Alex walked up the aisle is something I’ll never forget, neither can I forget the warm welcome and relaxed vibe I experienced with all of the guests at their wedding. A side shout-out to my table partner James, who I became fast friends with in between meals and taking photographs — so a big shout out to him too if he’s reading this!

Anyway, this is a long visual post so I will end this here — but hopefully I put in a bunch of fun keywords here for the web crawlers to get more eyes on this beautiful wedding here.
