2027 – Wedding Open
This image was captured during a private elopement at Sea Lion Estate in Sooke, British Columbia. The couple were close friends of ours who had recently discovered they were expecting a child and decided they wanted to get married before the pregnancy began to show. We would later have the privilege of filming their larger wedding celebration as well.
Interestingly, I wasn’t actually photographing the elopement. We were there providing video coverage, and while flying the drone, I noticed a perspective that felt different and worth capturing. I took a few photographs, thinking they might appreciate having something a little unexpected from their special day.
Fast forward to today, and after revisiting the image, I decided to experiment with a completely different edit. I was inspired by the creative approach of fellow WPC member Rabih Madi, which encouraged me to see the photograph in a new light. And here we are! What started as an unplanned photograph, captured in between filming, has now earned a place on Team Canada at the World Photographic Cup.
2026 – Sports
Strength, speed, and skill collide. This decisive head kick KO highlights the athleticism, focus and precision of a Canadian Kickboxing Champion, rendered in timeless monochrome.
2026 – Wedding Reportage
Captured in a beautiful destination wedding in Tuscany. We were in the small commune of Campagnatico ( pronounced cahmpa-nyah-tico,) where outside, dramatic flash thunderstorms rolled through the countryside, adding mood and texture to the light. Moments later, the skies opened to sunshine, setting the stage for a perfect ceremony and evening under the Tuscan sun.
2025 – Commercial
This was my first time visiting Paris and I was excited to visit the Louvre Museum. With 10 million people a year visiting, the majority are there to see the Mona Lisa. I love trying to capture motion in my photos but like many museums tripods are not allowed which made this tricky. I stood on my tip toes with my camera over my head and took several images switching settings by feel while trying to not move. By blending the images creating the blur of people I felt I captured the chaos that surrounds the Mona Lisa as it’s quite something to see and experience.
