One of the things that I hoped to discover and create through Portraits of Pelham is not only to document some of the influential members of the Pelham community, but also to recognize and capture some unique and very special individuals.

Jim Ryan is the owner of Ryan's Auto Body in Fonthill, located just down the hill on Highway 20. Jim is an extremely dedicated and hard working man, and runs a very honest and genuine business here in Pelham. His expertise has benefited hundreds of Pelhaminians (there's that word again) and his kindness has touched even more.

One of the reasons that I was lead to Jim, and why I wanted to create a portrait and tell his story wasn't necessarily for his great auto-body shop, but instead, for his fascinating collection of memorabilia.

Please visit Portraits of Pelham to hear more about Jim and his stories. In the meantime, I've posted some of my favourite images from his session, here.

Enjoy!

2010 is an exciting year for us, here, at Bryan Caporicci Photography. We have 25 absolutely amazing couples to hang out with, photograph, and watch the formation of their new family. We also get to experience this, first hand, ourselves.

As many of you may know, Al and I are getting married, ourselves, this July 10th. As we put together all of the final pieces to our wedding details and plans, it is so exciting to see the days count down. We can totally understand the excitement and emotions that our couples go through. I think that it has really given us a better appreciation and understanding for our couples.

This past weekend marked the kick-off to our 2010 season with Carla and Maurizio's wedding. We spent the day in Halton Hills, and had a beautiful day for a winter wonderland wedding.

To Carla and Maurizio - enjoy your time in St. Lucia, and we're looking forward to getting together with you to go over your album and images once you get back!

I hope that you all enjoy these images ... I think that they really set the stage for an amazing 2010.

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!
