I'm Bryan Caporicci, and I love being a wedding photographer

I am so excited to go through and blog some of the amazing images that we captured yesterday at Carla and Maurizio's wedding.

For now, though, I wanted to post just one of my absolute favourites as a sort-of teaser from our 2010 kick-off wedding. Enjoy, and check back early this week for some more!

I get such a thrill out of photographing something different, something that I have never photographed before. I find that it gives me a real creative rush when I encounter something new and have to get artistic with it, while at the same time, adapting to the change of scenery.

This was exactly the case on Friday, when I got together with Abby and Kate for a portrait session for their new company. I have photographed both Abby and Kate before (Abby, more than once), and I always love getting together with clients again. Abby and Kate recently started up their own company, through which they teach dance and dance at bars and nightclubs. Here's the only caveat, though - they are "dancing" while suspended from straps, sometimes as high as 10 or 15 feet in the air.

I know - unreal, isn't it?

We had the portrait session at the brand-new Vice Lounge, in Niagara Falls. I'd like to send out a quick, personal thank-you to Mike Drolias, one of the owners of Vice Lounge for allowing us the use of his space (and time) on Friday. It was the perfect location for this kind of session, and I am really looking forward to working with Mike and the guys on some future projects, as well.

I'd also like to thank Jaime and the lovely ladies at Textures Hair Salon, who did a bang-up job with Abby and Kate's hair and make-up. I love collaborating with such amazing and creative artists - they really help make the images go from great to amazing.

Without further adieu, check out some of these images and tell me what you think in the Comments section, below!

Enjoy!

Last week, I got together with Jim Ryan of Ryan's Auto-Body, here in Fonthill.

While I will be creating and posting Jim's "Portraits of Pelham" article early next week, I just couldn't help but share one image, because I simply love it so much.

I'm not going to into detail about Jim, but me just say that we can an amazing session, and I can't wait to share some more images with you!

Check out this one for now ... let me know what you think, in the "Comments" section, below!

Without sounding too cliche, I wanted to quickly talk about one of my New Years resolutions. This year, I want to increase my health, eat better, and get back into the gym and loose some weight. I realize that this is a common resolution, and often, it is one that falls by the wayside. But me? That is certainly not going to happen, because I have the best motivation in the world - I am getting married in less than 5 months, and I've got to fit into that tuxedo!

I am very happy to say that I have been sticking to my resolution for 5 weeks now, and everything is going fantastic; I have lost about 20 pounds so far, and am still going! Best of all, though, I am feeling better than every.

Through my research, talking with fitness trainers, and my own experience, I have put together a list of "rules" to follow for optimal weight loss, and I'll be blogging those sometime in the very new future to help those of you who have a similar resolution.

Like I said, one of the biggest things that I have noticed, in cooking all healthy, organic foods, eating lots of vegetables, and avoiding the junk food is that I am feeling a million times better.

This is why it was so interesting to hang out with Kelly and chatting with her about her passion - vegan cooking.

I photographed Ken and Kelly's wedding over two years ago, at the Prince of Whales in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and they recently contacted me, asking me to create some portraits of Kelly for their new website and restaurant. They're opening an all-organic, vegan restaurant in downtown Burlington.

Much like how my change of eating habits has changed the way that I look and feel, Kelly says that when she decided to go vegan, it completely changed her lifestyle, and she has never felt better.

We will be getting together again, soon, to photograph the restaurant once the renovations are done, the different plates that they offer, and to capture the grand opening, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled!

In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy some of these beautiful images of the ever-so-stunning Kelly.
