Congratulations Denise and Curt! A few weeks ago I tagged along and shot second for Suzanne at their wedding in Barrington. Suzanne’s a great photographer and it was fun seeing how she does a wedding. Huge thanks to Denise and Curt too for not minding me being there. Shooting second to someone else is an interesting challenge. My main goals were to stay out of the way and complement instead of copy Suzanne’s coverage. Even though the impending weather forced the ceremony and reception inside, the rain held off long enough to do the pictures outside.

Wanting to make the most of this gorgeous sunny day, I got up early to go to Ellenwood Provincial Park to make some sunrise pictures. I haven’t met him in person but I thought I might run into Brian, who is there often at sunrise. No such luck, I had the place to myself. The woods were quiet when I started in but as the sky brightened the birds started singing. I also heard the first loud boom of the day from the ice on the lake. The ice shifting and settling is one of my favourite sounds. Can you tell I had a great morning? On with the pictures:

Through the winter my wife likes to bring in branches off of our quince bush. Bringing them into the warm air inside the house forces them to act like it’s spring and blossom. It’s lovely to see fresh blossoms inside when it’s a blizzard outside. I’ve been getting a bit more of a taste of that because I’m working through my old images in order to more properly catalog them and make them available for sale on Clustershot. Channel spring with a taste of the new batch of images that I’m getting ready to upload:
