Heidy and Mark wedding photography at the Ivey Spencer leadership centre London Ontario

I was in love with the Ivey Spencer venue from the minute I drove in with my second shooter Robin, and it wasn’t just because of the groundhogs. For a day that was verging on rain at any given minute we were very lucky and only got enough for me to set up for a shot with an umbrella, and then it stopped. Heidy was a glowing bride who never seemed to stop smiling and  I loved capturing the love between her and Mark on their big day. The children were a major highlight, especially the ‘fighting kiss’ towards the end of the night.

Boudoir Photography London Ontario

As we all know Valentines Day is coming up this week and one of the most popular types of shoot this time of year seems to be a somewhat new genre of 'Boudoir' photographic portraits. I love the idea of a soon-to-be-bride doing an empowering shoot before the big day and giving an intimate album to their soon-to-be-groom as a wedding day present. 

I shot a lot of photographic nudes while I was at university but this genre is new to me so I asked Nicole, an up and coming model to help me figure out what works and what doesn't. The biggest thing I found that doesn't work? Doing the shoot on my territory, having to strip my apartment of clutter was time consuming and I think, would be in-personable if this were a client shoot. Definitely have my eye on Hotel Metro for my next boudoir shoot!
