As a photographer, I am constantly trying to find the most unique way to tell the story of our couple's wedding days. We are so privileged to be allowed into the lives of our couples and to share with them such a special time of their life.

Our wedding albums, engagement books, wall portraits and slideshows are a wonderful way of bringing back the memories of our couples' wedding day, and reminding them of all the details and special moments that they shared.

Like I said, though, we are always looking for new ways and new mediums to tell the story off our couple's relationship and their wedding day. With the way that technology has been going, and how quickly it has been advancing, it has allowed us to do some pretty amazing things, not only with photography, but with other related mediums. And thus our "Fusion Sessions" were born.

What is "Fusion", you ask? If you are a photographer and reading this, then you are probably familiar with the term - it is the combination of still photographs and video. Yup. Video!

We are by no means videographers, so please don't interpret this the wrong way. We are not trying to replace the job of the videographers. Documentary videography is not what we are going after with our "Fusion" coverage. What our "Fusion" coverage is is a mix of our photographs and video-moments, captured throughout the day. The point of our "Fusion" is to better tell the story and make it come to life just a little bit more. We're adding a third dimension, if you will.

We have been offering Fusion coverage to our couple's for over a year now, and have provided such services to 10 of our couples from 2009. We now have even more of our couples who have added our Fusion-coverage to their wedding collection for 2010, which we're really excited about!

We have kept this great option quiet, up until now, and have only been showing our couples who meet with us samples of our Fusion videos. But, we thought that it was about time to up-the-game, and show some of our new options to the world!

Below is a Fusion session that we had with Kelly and Elder. We did the video-moments throughout their engagement session, and, at the end, spent 10 minutes interviewing both Kelly and Elder to complete the look and feel of the final presentation. We're really proud of this video, and are happy to finally be able to show it to you!

I hope that you enjoy it - would love to hear your feedback!

For the past few years, we have been offering our clients big, beautiful canvas prints to hang and decorate their homes with. We absolutely LOVE canvas prints - they turn an image into a piece of art, and are a really great way to display an image.

We have recently added a brand new line of products to our studio - custome, fine-art framing. I was absolutely blown away when I met my new framing partner - his frames are absolutely to DIE for and there is such a great variety in colours, styles and finishes. We are going to be really encouraging our couples to think about framing for their wall portraits - there is a world of difference between a custom, fine-art frame and a Wal-Mart frame.

Framing has been a product that has been long-desired in the studio, and we are now happy to introduce some of Niagara's finest custom framing available for your beautiful wall portraits. Enjoy some of these images of our new studio samples.

Even though our wedding (shooting) season is officially over, we couldn't be busier! Now is the time of the year that our couples finalize their albums, order their canvas prints, gift prints, etc. I think over the past week, I have designed 12 albums for our couples. The thing that I love about albums is their ability to re-tell the wedding story - all the minute details, the fun moments, and the amazing, dramatic imagery.

Joanna and Rob came over the other day to pick up their albums. They ordered their main album as well as two duplicate parent albums. I was able to snap a few photos before we let them go ...

Speaking of albums ... as previously announced, our deadline to order albums to come in before Christmas is coming up - this Friday!

Also note that the deadline to order prints to come in before Christmas is November 12th.

Remember to check out our great Christmas specials that we have running right now, at http://www.bcapchristmas.com.

Ciao for now!

I absolutely LOVE what I do - every single part of it. The joy that we get from hanging out with the coolest couples on one of the most important days of their lives is beyond words. I was recently interviewed by a Niagara College student for a project that he was doing. Some of the questions I was asked were:

- What made you want to become a wedding photographer?
- What motivates you to do your best on the wedding day?
- Why is wedding photography so important?

When I was answering the questions, it really got me thinking. Don't get me wrong -I know all my answers to all of these questions, but I've never actually written them down before, and doing gave me a whole new love and appreciation for what I do. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate that I am able to do something that I love for a living. I think that that is hard to come by these days. Everyone is always complaining of "the case of the Mondays" or "Thank god it's Friday" - but I'm the opposite! I love being a wedding and portrait photographer and I love every part of my job!

I received an e-mail, yesterday, from Ashley (remember Ashley & Pat?). She came over yesterday morning to pick up her and Pat's wedding album, and after she had gotten it home and really sat to absorb it, she wrote me this e-mail:

Wow... Bryan... our album is beyond words.
It's so beautiful, i just can't keep it closed.
You and Allison did such a GREAT job.
We can't possibly thank you both enough. You have truely captured every emotion felt on our wedding day.
You have created a display that sends us back to each moment and have made it truely memorable.
Thank you again for everything, you guys are wonderful people and I know we will be in touch for a very long time.
Thank you for making our memories so amazing,
Love the Campbells <3

Like - WOW! How do I even comment or respond to that? It's e-mails like this and clients like Ashley and Pat that make me so passionate about what I do!

We've got a whole whack of albums and prints coming in and out of the studio this week, and I am going to take a whole whack of photos of them for a blog post later on today - check back soon!

In the meantime, check out a few of my favourite spreads from Ashley and Pat's album ... I hope that you enjoy them!
