(03.10.10)You know, it's so funny how we were both at the same place and different images came about ;) Well, I guess we know this about photography though - there can never be a duplication in how one sees the world ;)

1. Break all photographic rules.don't leave any of them unbroken, at least once!
2. Take the safe shot.then break the rules with a passion!
3. From this point on the phrase "Breaking Rules" will be described as "Play".
4. You don't have to "Learn" the rules first before you are allowed to play!
5. When you play, it is for you..not the client. The client will benefit from your playtime!
6. Make sure that when you plan to play, that it will add some sort of twist to the image or composition. All blurry shots should be planned. Channel your playtime to maximize the chance of a great shot.
7. Learning to "Feel the dials and buttons" of your camera and "Hear you shutter" will help you play when you only have a few seconds.
8. Learn to play with the negative-spaces of a composition and bring them alive and useful to you.
9. Subject in the center is not always wrong. I love to break this rule!
10. Blowing out the highlights is not always wrong: especially when you are shooting backlit subjects.
11. Flare is great! Play with flare!
12. There is no "bad" light! This will be your mantra as you leave your house for the shoot. "There is no bad light! I will play today!"
13. Not looking through the camera when you shoot is a great way to learn the fine art of playing. If you are a wedding photographer: shoot at least 100 images a wedding without looking through the viewfinder.
14. Never tell a client that it was a mistake but the image turned out cool! Take credit for all great unplanned mistakes. Yet, try to duplicate the mistake later and add it to your stylistic repertoire. Never tell a client how many "play" images you took to get the killer shot. Show the client a few killer play shots as the shoot progresses. They will see that you are having fun and getting cool stuff and that will make them happy! Really!!
15. Make sure your future clients know you are a "Player". Show playful shots on your site and in your show albums.
16. The best time to play is when you are board, tired, apathetic, angry, hungry, hot, cold, have a headache, or when your mind tells you to hang and not play.
17. Play and your clients will love you for it!

Good Luck!!!! I hope it goes smashing for you! I am heading off to the PPA I was hoping you might be around. It would have been nice to catch up.

I'd love to hear from you, so please click HERE to get in touch. I look forward to hearing more about your wedding day plans and details.
You have just arrived at my blog, and I welcome you!
This blog is just a place where I write about my journey as a wedding photographer, as a mother, wife and friend.
I am an illustrative wedding photographer, located just outside Windsor Ontario. I have a huge love of photojournalism, black and white photography, and weddings that make me cry! I don't like the ordinary, I love being different, and I put my heart and soul into everything I do.
My kids are my greatest treasure and my hubby my greatest love.
I feel that this quote summarizes me and my outlook on business....
"Always hold on to the truth. Don't let others sway your heart. Don't compromise yourself for the sake of temporal groovyness. Be Deeply Funky. Be separate from the crowd that's awash with normality, by standing on a firm foundation. Never waver in your love or faith ...." - John Fluevog.

The above quote, not only describes how I feel about myself and my business, but I think it describes the type of clients that have entrusted me to document their wedding day.
There is something so deeply personal about hiring the right wedding photographer, because you not only have to hire someone that you can trust to take great photographs, but you want to hire someone that just 'gets' you as a couple.
I am passionate about capturing emotion, documenting every moment, showcasing the unique details that make your wedding day 'yours', and having a ton of fun along the way.
From the moment I meet my clients, until the day that I hand over their custom designed, heirloom album, each and every couple is deeply important to me. I do my very best to pay attention to detail, make every effort to provide the best service I possibly can, and put my all into providing photos that will be timeless and emotionally driven.
