ariana + mark = the wedding

hello all,

i think being a wedding photographer is amazing, if i wasn't one i would have never met this beautiful couple, ariana and mark. they were married this past sunday at rockcliffe park pavillion, a great venue. it was a little chilly but that didn't stop us of taking advanatge of the gellato cart that ariana & mark arranged to serve to guests after the ceremony. here is a shot as we were leaving the pavillion to head to the crown plaza hotel for the reception. be sure to watch the SLIDESHOW as well.

thank-you ariana, mark and laya...my newest friends!!

Weekly Photo Competition

hello everyone,

i met a very talented ottawa photographer a couple weeks ago named colin gemmell from on point photography. anyway he has invited me along with a few other ottawa photographers who i'll name later into a weekly best photo competition. i'm looking forward to learning a lot from these guys and hoping to become a better more creative photographer in the process. anyway look below for my first week entry, nothing special, just a cool tree starting to bud in my backyard. hopefully the pictures will get better from week to week. wish me luck.

cheers,
derrick
