Start of May 2012 took me to one of my favorite churches to shoot in. Pam and Adam were married at St. Anne’s church on Barnardo St in the city of Peterborough. What makes St. Anne’s church so great to shoot in is the great lighting, spacious layout to easily get good angles and Father Bill being quite relaxed about photography during the ceremony. I have shot at St. Anne’s in the past and I hope to shoot there again in the future.

Pam and Adam chose the popular bridge at Jackson Park for their family formals and bridal party images. What we did not account for was a long distance running marathon taking place that day where the bridge at Jackson Park was part of the course! So we had frequent interruptions as runners passed through. But it all worked out in the end. Pam and Adam allowed for plenty of time in their schedule so frequent small interruptions were not an issue. I should add that the single image of Adam’s grandfather on the bridge is because he helped restore the bridge many years back with a group of students. So I quickly snagged a nice image of him on the bridge.

Their reception was at the Knights of Columbus Hall. This was my first time to this reception venue and I have to say, the meal was quite good. Thank you Pam and Adam for including me in your meal.

One thing that was a bit unique about their wedding was the large perigee “super moon” everyone saw in the sky Saturday May 5th. At the end of the evening we went outside and captured an image including the moon.

A huge thank you to Pam and Adam for selecting Woodhouse Photography to be their personal professional photography service!!

This past March I had a fantastic time shooting the wedding of Amanda and Shaun of Peterborough, Ontario. Even though it was late March, the weather was perfect for that time of year. Spring was definitely in the air and Amanda and Shaun were ready to get married!

Their ceremony and reception were at the Baker’s Hill Banquet Centre at the corner of Parkhill and Television Road. I’ve been to this venue before and the owner, Wolfgang, is a great fellow that is there to help in anyway he can.

Amanda and Shaun included plenty of time in their schedule for us to get some great images of just the two of them. We started out at the popular bridge in Jacksons Park and finished off at the railroad tracks on George Street, next to the Holiday Inn. Both are great locations and offer quite diverse environments … which allowed us to get some great variety in their images. We were not rushed and we had time to enjoy ourselves at the different locations.

Thank you Amanda and Shaun and all the best!

Take 2.

That is what comes to mind when I think of the Smith family of Ennismore. The reason is this was my second visit to the Smith farm in the Ennismore area, just a short drive north of Peterborough. Last year the family shoot was a small one of just Marina, her two children and her mother. However this time the extended family were invited so they could secure the desired group shot.

Marina and Tim were great sports and brought their couch out into the field behind their home. Family photos are great when something different can be incorporated into the shoot, such as a couch in a field.

A big thank you to the Smith family for asking myself to come to their home a second time.
