More from Terri and Al’s Wedding in Antigua

Cliff — Thu, 01 May 2008 18:44:22 +0000

One of the great things about shooting a destination wedding (besides the free food and rum punch) is that you really get to know the couple and their families. I can honestly say Terri and Al and their families are nuts but that is a good thing because so are mine. This couple were a blast to work with and Terri was so open to go anywhere to get great photos and I am sure you can tell by the images below what a difference that makes. I suggested we get off the resort and go into the real Antigua and without hesitation Terri said “Ya, let’s do it” and Al said, “whatever you want Terri” which is always the right answer for a happily married man. Off to town we went and the taxi driver thought I was nuts because I wanted to stop at old burned out buildings little snack carts and old stores. I loved these images and I was so lucky that my roommate Tony agreed to come along and be my assistant and helped make these photos. I am grateful to Terri and Al and hope their family never comes to Toronto and want to stay with me. I am so kidding, I really hope I do run into all of them again soon.

Wedding day in Antigua

What an incredible day it was for Terri and Al. The weather was amazing and the wedding on the beach was pure magic. Everyone had a blast and it I can’t believe I get to do this for a living. Let me know what you think.

Day Two in Antigua

Cliff — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:37:01 +0000

This is the second day I am in Antigua for Terri and Al’s wedding and I am having a blast. The first night we all got to know each other by hanging out in the bar, chatting and drinking way too much rum punch. Thank god I had the good sense not to participate in the Karaoke in spite of the punch. This could have brought me more ridicule than one man could handle.

Terri and Al are awesome and I am looking forward to shooitng their wedding tomorrow. Then on Friday we will be doing a day shooting in town and a trash the dress session and I know this will be a blast. Terri is so into the photography so my job is easy and so much fun. I will post more photos as the week goes on.

Busy Weekend

Cliff — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 02:46:51 +0000

This weekend was a really busy family weekend for me. My eldest son Owen had his cub car races and a hockey pizza party which kept us busy all weekend. For most social events we take a small snap shot camera and this time I decided to take something more substantial to Owen’s cub car rally. Editing these photos tonight remindeds me what first drew me and still draws me to photography and that is the way it can evoke emotions like nothing else. When I look at great moments captured in newspapers or magazines or even snap shots I feel some emotion even if I am not part of the event and the image can draw me in. This set of photos of Owen for me remind me how lucky I am and as the kids say “I am keeping it real” Ok, maybe they said it and now only old guys who think they know what the kids are saying use it, but you get it.

Nancy and Rob

I wanted to share with you some images I shot at Nancy and Rob’s wedding that was on Feb.2nd. These guys were so much fun to hang around with and Nancy is gorgeous, which I am sure you can see from the photos. Let me know what you think?

too cool

I saw this cartoon on a site that talks about photography lighting and I thought it was really funny. The character looks like me and apparently he too likes using small compact strobes. The only difference is my head is larger compared to my body than his.

Funny photo of Sabrina and Julian

Cliff — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:03:15 +0000

I thought this was a really funny photo that Sabrina and Julian suggested. This couple was a blast to work with but I am sure you can tell this by seeing their sense of humour.

Rachel and Don’s thank you card

Cliff — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 14:53:59 +0000

Hi there,

I wanted to share with you a thank you card I shot and designed for Rachel and Don who had their wedding on New Years Eve. I love creating images for a couple who are really into the wedding photography and believe me it was really cold for Rachel being outside that day but she was an awesome sport.

Hope you like the card as much as I do,

Cliff

Best of 2007

I wanted to showcase my best work from the weddings I shot in 2007. I wanted to make sure I included some images from each wedding so please be warned this is a long show and I would love to know what you think of the work.

Off to Antigua and Italy in 2008

Cliff — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 14:15:08 +0000

I am so excited about all the weddings I am shooting in 2008 but I can’t wait to shoot two weddings that will be a blast. The first is Terri and Alain’s wedding in Antigua this April and I am working on my beach body and there is A LOT of work to do. I am also jazzed about shooting Michelle and Andy’s wedding in Italy this October. I have been to Europe many times but never to shoot a wedding. I can’t wait to shoot in the country side as well as Rome. Wow this is a great job I have. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
