It’s ironic that with very few exceptions, the more nervous my clients are before a shoot, the more fun we seem to end up having, and the more I like the photos. Maybe it’s because we all try a little harder, or pay more attention, or there is a release of nervous energy but … Read More
Trista and Mason had their Stonefields Heritage Farm wedding a few weeks back. We only just met four days before the wedding after they booked me by email last year. Our first meeting was for their engagement shoot! It was pretty obvious that this was going to be a great day. Trista and Mason … Read More
Jacynthe & Jean-Michel aren’t getting married until next year. Last week, we got together for an engagement shoot in the Gatineau Park. It’s always fun to get together way before a wedding day, in a very different setting, and time of year, and shoot engagement photos. This particular shoot was quite nice because it’s … Read More
Jaclyn and Andrew had their Strathmere wedding a few weeks back. It’s always fun to meet up with people who you have not seen in a year and be reminded of why you were so excited to shoot their wedding. Jaclyn is a very smart, and yet very calm person who just seems to … Read More
Adrienne & Pat had an Evermore Wedding & Events wedding on a rainy day in September. I admit that I didn’t love the rain but I do love the types of images that can be made on a day like this. Most of the enjoyment came about as a result of Adrienne and Pat and … Read More
Andree-Anne & Cameron had their Wakefield Mill Wedding on a very hot day in September. I actually met Andree-Anne’s parents before I met her. At that time Andree-Anne was a teenager and was the first person I had ever met who owned an iPod! Things have changed somewhat, people have grown up, and have … Read More
I met with Trista & Mason just a couple of days ago for their ByWard Market engagement session. Their wedding is in two days so we had no choice but to risk a rainy day and photograph no matter what! From what I could tell there was one two hour window during the entire … Read More
Last Tuesday I met with Lisa and Matt near the John Ceprano Rock Sculptures for their engagement shoot. To be honest, I was a little nervous since this was my first solo shoot through photoVanBeek Studio and I had never shot in this location before. I think it’s safe to say that the shoot went really … Read More
Sarah and Patrick had their Jabulani Vineyard wedding in August. I was lucky to have met Patrick four years ago at his sister’s wedding and have since spoken to various family members off and on since then. I was also lucky enough to photograph Patrick and his dad perform live with their blues band, Barry and … Read More
Ashley & Scott were married in Lanark at the Timber Run Golf Club a few weeks back. It has been awhile since we shot a wedding in Lanark and I had forgotten how much I like it out there. Of course it helps when you get out there and everyone is immediately lots of … Read More
