…after a quick shower at home, picking up some personal artifacts I am back at St Joe’s with Anna and Lana. How funny does that sound Anna and Lana. Wow, yesterday was day 0, today is day 1. It feels like day 8. Everything is a blur. 6 hrs of sleep in past 36hrs, but so worth it.
This is just a prelude to a long, happy story that we will share with everyone soon. Interim here is two quick images from Lanas birthday! Happy birthday sweetheart !!!

Missing Summer

Anna+Mark — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:29:33 +0000

Going through all the external hard drives, amalgamating, deleting, sorting and organizing is a task for winter. Getting ready for the Wedding season can be a daunting task. Don’t you find that getting ready for any task or job usually takes so much longer that the task itself? Strange but true. No wonder the saying goes, preparation is half the battle. I think its more like 75 or 80%. Really, the same applies to shooting. As most photogs can attest to it, we shoot 20% and do everything else 80%. After all its a business and working for yourself means that you wear all the hats. Not complaining just saying We love what we do, and although there are the odd tasks that we all dread…. we would never have it other way. But I digress, I’ve been cleaning up and organizing our images… I think we have over 100 000 images and soo many haven’t seen the day of light. So occasionally we will post a fun shot, fine art, personal or just something weird So here is one from the summer. As we had a snow storm yesterday its nice to reminisce of the balmy weather and good times we can have in summer. Cheers and keep warm. Mark

Best of, and all the best.

Olympic Torch in Port Credit, Clarkson and Oakville

Anna+Mark — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:03:39 +0000

We are so excited for the Olympics to take place in February. Two years ago I got a silver button to support Vancouver 2010 and wore it ever since. Can’t believe its finally here. I had a chance to catch the Torch Relay here in Port Credit and Clarkson. What a cool experience. The number of people that showed up in support of the relay was overwhelming. The energy just oozed out of people and everyone was in the greatest mood, despite the chill. Here is few frames from the participants, flame and peoples jubilations.

Stormy Weather in Port Credit

Anna+Mark — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 02:18:17 +0000

Recently we had quite a few Severe Thunderstorm warnings with few really immense winds and downpours. So when I looked at the sky today, I knew it was going to come down hard… at least for a little while. Niki and I ran to the lake to get a better look, and appreciate mother nature. So here is what we saw. Its a series of 10 images stitched together

You can see it humongous **here**

So excited to have a short video of our amazing past Bride + Groom talking about their experience with us during their most special day. We can honestly say that our Brides are the most amazing clients. We click from the beginning, establish a friendly rapport, do a fun getting to know you shoot and by the time the Wedding rolls around we are practically bffs Infact we stay in touch with all our Brides + Grooms years after the big day, and touch base for their anniversaries, do lunches and coffees and shoot their bellies and babies and new families So much fun!
