As a wedding and portrait photographer, I never know who I am going to meet, and where. Everyone, at some point, is in need of professional photography, whether it be a new family with their newborn, a family with kids growing up, or a newly engaged couple.

Al and I had our tasting and "Wedding Showcase" event at Club Roma (where we're getting married in July), where they put on a "faux wedding", with flowers, decorations, music, and the whole nine yards. It was great to see the room set up the way that it might be set up for our wedding, and it was even greater to be able to eat ALL the food that they have available. Yumm!

We were seated with another couple and their guests - Paula and Brad. After chit-chatting a little bit about our weddings, the plans, and so on, we made the connection that Paula had contacted me some time ago, inquiring about hiring me as their wedding photographer. Unfortunately, I wasn't available for their wedding date.

They decided that, even though I wasn't available for their wedding, they wanted to have some really nice engagement portraits done with us. This past weekend I met up with them (they're local Pelhamites, too) for a fun portrait session at Brad's parent's place (which is beautiful).

I hope that you enjoy some of these photos of the wonderful Paula and Brad!

We photographed Erin and Levi's beautiful wedding this past summer, and we really had a great time spending time with and getting to know their families and wedding party. We always are honoured to share such a special day with our couples.

When Levi's sister, Alison, found out that her and Kyle were expecting a little addition to their family, she called me and expressed interest in having us photograph her maternity portraits. Of course, we were more than delighted to!

Check out some of these images that we created for them at their home. Enjoy!

Our couples totally rule! We have the pleasure of hanging out with and photographing 25 amazing engaged couples, every year, and we are so lucky to have the opportunity to do so.

I photographed Rich's brother, Shawn, and his beautiful wife, Kristin, in 2008, and then I photographed Rich and Shawn's older brother, Dave, and his family, last year, as well. When Rich and Amy got engaged, they wanted to have us share their wedding day with them as well; we are so excited for their wedding coming up this Fall!

I hung out with them in Niagara-on-the-Lake, on Monday, for yet-another beautiful day in March! They wanted something a little bit more edgy and stylistic, and so we tried some new things, some new locations, and created some really amazing imagery for them.

Check these out! Let me know what you think :)

Dale Carnegie spoke, taught, and wrote on the topics of leadership, personal development, interpersonal skills, and living a worry-free life. Two of his most famous books that you have undoubtedly heard of (and maybe even read) are "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living". If you haven't read them - I suggest you definitely check them out. They will literally change your life.

My good friend, Craig Riesebosch, is one of the founders (along with Neil Thornton and Steve Cardy) of the Dale Carnegie training in Niagara Falls. These three guys are doing some amazing things here in Niagara, helping business owners and individuals reach new heights in their businesses, improve their leadership skills and strengthen their relationships. These training projects occur over a 9-week period (meeting once per week) and it really is the only way to fast-track your personal and professional success.

"How do you know, Bryan?", you ask. Well, because I am currently enrolled in the Dale Carnegie training project, and while we are only 4 weeks in, I am already seeing a huge difference in my life and in my business. Craig, Neil and Steve have pushed me beyond my comfort zone and have really allowed me to expand my limits. It's amazing. You NEED to take it. Period.

The next course being offered starts in April, and you can check out more information here.

Craig is also the president of our local BNI chapter (the one that I have mentioned many times before, here, on the blog). He is such an amazing leader and coach, and I am very lucky to know him.

Craig treated his wife, Debby, to a weekend-away, this past weekend, in Niagara-on-the-Lake. It was a weekend full of relaxing, eating, and great connecting. What a fabulous idea for Valentine's Day! Sometimes we get so busy in our lives and in our businesses, that we forget to connect and spend time with those we love.

One of the things that Craig wanted to do as part of his weekend-away with Debby, was have some really nice portraits created of the two of them. I was honoured when Craig asked me to be the photographer to create these portraits for them.

The images that follow are a glimpse into Craig and Debby's amazing relationship and silly antics. What I really wanted to capture in these photographs was the fun that Craig and Debby have together and the amazing bond that they share.

I hope that you enjoy them!
