I have to admit, some days it really feels like a chore but I think it’s important so I keep plugging along.

You can see the results here, but I thought I’d post some of my favourite images here on the blog.

I’m not big on resolutions, but this year I’ve decided on a simple one.

My resolution is to make a picture every. single. day.  It might be wedding stuff, it might be personal or it could just be something that caught my eye that day.

To hold myself accountable I’ll be posting images to a Tumblr website.

It’s going to be tough, and I know I’ll probably miss some days, but that’s my goal and I’m sticking to it!

So that’s what I’m doing for New Years, but I’m hoping maybe some of you could help me out with a few other things.

People have told me that if you want something, you should put it out there and see what happens.

So here goes, these are some ideas for weddings I’ve been wanting to shoot for a while.

A winter wedding in Ottawa.

A cottage wedding.

An east coast wedding (almost had one this year!!!)

A Banff Wedding

City hall weddings on Valentines day.

A small backyard wedding

An elopement.

A full on 4 day Indian wedding.

A wedding on a family farm.

A surprise wedding (the guests don’t know they’ve been invited to a wedding)

So if you, or someone you know is planning a wedding like this and would like some kick ass pictures, please get in touch!

Fer Jauristi and Davina + Daniel are three of the brightest up and coming photographers in the wedding industry.  Their work is constantly jaw dropping (and award winning!)

I’m happy to say that I’ll be hosting them for a 2 day workshop on May 10-11, 2011 in downtown Toronto.

Both him and his mom are home and doing fine!

Last week I had the honor and pleasure of attending the Mountain Workhops in Elizabethtown Kentucky.

The Mountain Workshop is an intensive week long photojournalism course run by one of the most renowned photojournalism schools in the USA, the University of Western Kentucky.  The workshop is in it’s 35th year, each time documenting a different county in Kentucky.

The coaches at the workshop are really impressive, almost to the point of being intimidating.   Multiple Pulitzer winners, long time National Geographic shooters and combat photographers are all roaming the halls.

Each student draws an assignment out of a hat (literally!) and spends the week both shooting and writing their story with the aid of their coaches.   The nights go long with multiple speakers and critiques, we were lucky if we got 3 hours sleep a night.

My assignment was a single mother with two kids who’s grandfather had just been deployed overseas.

You can see my story here.

I’m still absorbing everything I was taught last week, but I’m already starting to see things differently and have no doubt I’m going to be a much better photographer.

The first one is a print ad in the new WeddingRing magazine.

(I’m hoping using an image like this will attract some great clients.

The second one is an online ad that’s featured on the main page of The Wedding Co. blog.
