Tom & Adel's Wedding Album


This wedding will remain very memorable for me for many different reasons: beautiful couple of martial artists, classical car, cake cutting with a sword, groom rocking his guitar on Casino NB's stage. 

One other reason is Tom&Adel's wedding album, because it's the biggest album I have ever created - 11"x14" with 60 pages.

Here is a selection of the album's spreads followed by an image of the actual album. 

Hope you enjoy!

Gisele & Michael. An Intimate Backyard Wedding.

I decided to post an entire wedding album instead of showing only the best spreads. I would like to show to my future couples how a full wedding story unfolds, the flow of the album and how we approach shooting and designing a wedding album in general. 
I like to keep my album designs as clean and as simple as possible, avoiding complicated collages which result in a visual mess on a spread.

We really enjoyed working with Gisele and Michael on their wedding day. Due to heavy rain the day before the wedding we decided to cancel the other outdoor location and stay at the house. This gave  us a lot of time for formal portraits. It was really interesting experience for me as a photographer to search for and bring out Gisele and Michael's personalities both as individuals and as a couple.

Mary&Matt's Wedding Album

Most favourite and most exciting part for all of our couples - is designing their album! It involves going through catalogs, picking cover materials, choosing spines, name imprinting options, presentation boxes etc.

I invite you to look inside of an album created for Mary and Matt.

It's a 10"x13" Fine Art wedding album featuring delicious deep red Gramercy leather cover. The cover made perfect match for the wedding's color theme.

We placed one image opening in the centre and put name and date imprinted with silver right under it.
Premium packaging includes stitched black leather Presentation Box.

PPOC Atlantic Image Salon 2013

Professional Photographers of Canada Atlantic held its annual Image Salon over the past weekend and I would like to share my results. 

Participating in image competitions can be sometimes rewarding and sometimes disappointing. Some results can give you wings, and some smash against the ground.  But any case is better than not competing at all. 

Following image - "God Father" was one of those "ground smashing" experiences. I submitted this image as one of my strongest images in the Wedding Journalistic category.  But unfortunately for me, the PPOC Atlantic judges were not able to see what editors of italian Vogue saw in this image
The image scored "Unaccepted".

The Wedding Album of the Year Award. PPOC Convention, Halifax 2012

I just got back from my first PPOC national convention which was hosted by Halifax, NS and I must say that it has been amazing 5 days for me. It was very educational and inspiring experience. 
I was happy to meet many other colleagues from across Canada and hopefully future friends. 

And I thought that it could't get any better until the award banquet night, which made this convention especially remarkable for me - my wedding album "KATIE & JESSE", which received the reward of "Merit" at this year's image salon,  also received "The Wedding Album of the Year" award!   

Thank you PPOC! 

P.S. Complete album design is on the website


Wedding Album wins award of Merit at PPOC National Image Salon 2012.


This was my second time participating in the PPOC national print competition, and this year I decided to enter a wedding album. 

The album is from Katie&Jesse's wedding. It's one of my favourite weddings and I felt really confident submitting this design.  Out of 4 submitted images and 1 wedding album, the album had most success. The judging was very tough this year, and the judges were very hard to impress. As a result - 2 portraits were accepted and the album received "Wedding Album of the Year" award. 

The digital version of the entire album design in high resolution is now available on my WEBSITE.  

About the album:
12"x12" Soho Book
White Gramercy leather.
44 pages (22 spreads).
(in the photo below compared to 10"x10" Soho, Black Gramercy leather cover

Danielle & Marty. 12"x12" Soho Book.

 I'm approaching a 2 year mark of being in business of wedding photography full time (or 3 years in total).

This past year I realized how I want to photograph your wedding and what product I will offer to you.

 If you ask me, what my favourite moment of entire wedding experience is, I'll tell you: it's when a Fedex guy hands me a box, and I know that there's a fruit of 6 months of my labour inside of it - a wedding album. I start unpacking. I see my heart beating through my shirt and feel my hands sweating inside of cotton gloves. I open presentation box and sense harsh smell of premium leather cover. I start flipping pages and aroma of fresh ink adds to the mix. I'm nervous. I examine every image for details, tones and colour reproduction, check lamination, leather and binding. Everything is perfect.... exhale.... That's my favourite moment.

 I'm writing all this because I'm hoping that I can show you how much thoughts, passion and care I put into my albums, why I want you to have it and why all of my collections now include album.

It's been over a year since I met Danielle and Marty. Our Engagement Session lasted 5 hours, I just couldn't get enough of this couple. The session allowed me to break the ice between us, and to see how they behave in front of the camera and what the best way to photograph them. They were stunning on the wedding day and photographs were all about glamour and gloss.

Here are some images of the album and few of its spreads.
It's 12"x12" Soho Book,  White Gramercy Premium Leather Cover, contains 17 spreads, 2 optional apertures in the cover, and optional Premium Leather Presentation box.
