Sean and Sara's Wedding!

    Here is a couple shots from my friend's wedding last summer.  I wasn't the offical photographer for the wedding, I was a guest.  But these days its hard for me to attend a wedding and not take pictures.  I love my job so much, I can't get enough of it!

    This wedding took place here in Ottawa at golf club in the west end.  It was a great time!  Thanks a lot Sean and Sara!

Spanish Wedding!

     Here are a couple shots I took from an Ottawa Spanish wedding I did a while ago.  I have to say ethnic weddings are awesome!  I always have a blast at these, and the food is always something new.  I'm also very interested in the various traditions that each culture has in their weddings.

    The location of this wedding was here in Ottawa but I'm not sure of the exact location.  These shots where from a while back.  (Since my blog is new I'm posting about older weddings and catching up.)

    The first shot I took the groom upstairs and just got him to pose for me. This shot I used a bit of fill flash to light the groom and the rest is all ambient like. I boosted my ISO a little and opened my aperture to get some background details. Afterwards I did some photoshop. First I cleaned up the shot, dodge and burned, his eyes, nose and mouth. Then I changed the ugly yellow, orange cast background to a sepia blue. I found it much more visually appealing.

    The second shot was just as the bride and flower girl were exiting the limo.  The shot was mostly available like with some fill flash to lighten the eyes.  I did very little photoshop on these two shots, just recovered some highlights and sharpened the image.

    Anyone who's doing wedding photography here in Ottawa, do more ethnic weddings... you will fall even more in love with your job....

Soon Ill post about the indian engagement party I just shot outside Ottawa, in Manotick...

It was a blast!!!
