Jen + Jorge | Full Wedding

I walked in to the house and Jorge was peacefully nervous (if that makes sense)...It was like nothing could have prepared him for this day, the day that he would seal his commitment to the woman of his dreams.  It was all surreal...Jorge is a big teddy bear...Heart of Gold and It was incredible to see him marry the woman of his dreams.

Jen...what can I say about you??? Your mind was moving a mile a minute that day, but once you saw Jorge it was like your life once again made sense, it was a blessing to be able to witness such a powerful love like the one that you and Jorge share.

Paul and I had a blast artistically documenting you beautiful day...I am so happy for the two of you.

God bless you and your life together...

And Jen, remember...if there is anything you ever need, you give me a call!

I love you guys...

My First Trip to NYC aka. The Concrete Jungle!!!

The much anticipated blog post has finally arrived.

Several of you have been asking me when these photos would be going up and I personally could not wait to share my first time in NYC with you lovely people.  I have been extremely busy with school but now I am proud to announce that I am officially finished my post secondary education.  Life will truly be lived from here on out, that is a promise! (To me)

Now on to NYC...

The ride was long and rough...but I somehow managed to make it on only 2 hours of sleep.  (not recommended BTW) We arrived in the big city, but took a detour to Brooklyn to pick up what I initially went there for ... My brand new Canon 5D mkII, equip with my new 50mm f/1.2 and 16-35mm f/2.8 lenses!!! NYC is a perfect place to test out new gear :)

I went with 2 friends Amanda + Kev (they made sure I mentioned them...hi guys).  They told me I would have a tough time dealing with them throughout the trip, but they were fine, partially because I learned to tune them out :)  But seriously, they showed me the NYC ropes, as I was inexperienced.  Their main objective was to insure that I had a good time and that I took some stellar photos, which I will let you judge for yourself.  I would have been lost without you guys, so thank you very very much for introducing me to the big city which I have now fallen in love with.  This trip will never be forgotten.

Truth is the true appreciation of the city didn't kick in until a couple of hours before we left.  I didn't get to see close to as much as I wanted to, but that's ok because now it gives me more reason to keep going back...and each time I go, Roxy (the name I gave my camera this weekend) is coming along for the ride.

NYC is amazingly awesome and I look forward to sharing many more adventures with you from  there and around the world...simply because I want to see it all :) (and so does Roxy)

Enjoy the photos and be sure to check out the slideshow on the bottom as well.  Or CLICK HERE to view it in a seperate window.

I also have some photos posted from my facebook profile which Kevin uploaded.  Click Here.

LEAVE A COMMENT...ONE LUCKY PERSON WHO COMMENTS WILL WIN A FREE NYC PRINT :)  I am going to randomly select a name and I promise it will be legit.  Just leave your name (first and last) and your facebook contact if I don't already know you.

And if anyone is interested in purchasing a NYC photo, either up on this blog or from the slideshow CONTACT ME.  I will be printing out a few canvas' and Stand Out mounts for myself ASAP!!!

Jen + Jorge E Session

So where do I begin with these two???

I met them at Tanya + Luc's wedding...I had a slideshow playing containing a few photos from the wedding day.  Jen approached me, with a tall man lurking behind her and asked if I was Julian..."Yes" I responded..."Your photos are beautiful" Jen says.  And for the next 20 minutes Jen and I talked in the middle of the dance floor.  She introduced me to this giant man and I also met her son who's name happens to be...JULIAN!

They came in shortly after and I soon realized that this GIANT man was one of the coolest, calmest, gentlest guys I have ever met...his name was Jorge and together they are awesome.

They left my office and called me 20 minutes later telling me that they decided to book, came right back and left their deposit and the rest is history.

We shot their E Session at a few locations starting with Jorge's favourite basketball court and from there I just went with the flow.

Jen + Jorge, you guys are incredible and I can't wait until your wedding day...I know it's going to be wild!

As always...Leave a comment!!!  Let me know your favourite... I love reading and responding to them... :)

A Balanced Lifestyle + One More from Rob + Stef

I was listening to a song by Bon Iver called "Skinny Love" and there is a moment in the song when he mentions something about BEING PATIENT, BEING FINE, BEING BALANCED AND BEING KIND! And I loved it, if you follow me on facebook you'll know I am all about the inspirational quotes. Sayings that inspire me throughout the day that I try to share it with people in hopes that I could encourage just one person to think differently for a day or even to put a smile on their face.

This line in the song, made me think about how important it is to live a balanced lifestyle.  Now, balanced to you  means something different to me but I would want you to think about everything you would want to do throughout the day and at least TRY to do it.

Doing this might be tough at first because it would mean a switch to your regular routines, but once you get into the habit of this new routine you will be so thankful you read this post :)  Change is great!  Set a weekly goal, write it in your calendar and stick to it.  You just have to be disciplined, after all "Without a passion for discipline, the most beautiful of dreams have zero value." - Unknown

I always try to make sure my day consists of the following:
- > Me time - I usually wake up in the morning, lie in bed for 10 mins, stretch, put my headphones on and make an amazing breakfast shake full of nutrients :)
- > Exercise - Usually Yoga, or the gym.
- > Work time - This is when I return emails, blog, edit, sort through photos, Market...EVERYTHING relating to work.
- > Personal Goals - I try to schedule in some personal goal planning if possible..
- > Reading - I try to read at least 40  pages a day
- > Leisure time - Time with my friends or family.  You always have to make time for this.  The right people will always bring balance to your life.
- > And time to REST... After a certain time I stop everything and I rest...my mind clears and I do whatever I want

So try and make time for yourself and remain balanced...I promise you over time you will be so happy you did:)

And of course what is a blog post without a photo...1 More from Rob + Stef's E-Session.
