• The theme for today's Phuket wedding shoot is blue. Lots and lots of blue. Beginning with, well, the sky.

Here’s some tasty video from last weekend’s bridal shoot from the uber-talented Matt Trecartin. Loving it.

The photographer directing the action is the lovely Emma Rose, one of the top wedding photographers in Nova Scotia.

This is my first posting in a while. Since my last note, I packed up my family and left Vietnam, landed in Canada, witnessed the birth of my daughter, changed 8,724 diapers, perfected the dark art of the 5am espresso, and started planning our return to warmer shores back in Asia for 2011. But the one thing I haven’t really done is any photography (aside from lots of baby pictures, despite what my mother says).

So when local wedding photographer Emma Rose asked if I wanted to join a bridal shoot she was organizing with some of Halifax’s top wedding vendors, I jumped at the chance to dust off the cameras. I had also just bought some new equipment from Liam at Applehead in Halifax and Tamara at Creatively Captured in Ontario, so I was psyched to try out a few new toys.

A big, big, BIG thank you to everyone involved.

I’m in the middle of a bit of a personal, professional and geographic transition at the moment. Not much time to drop mighty pearls of wisdom and images of eye-blinding beauty here lately. More to come, real soon…..

In the meantime, a preview from the awesome Tyler and Ngoc in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Had a nice little surprise last week. I knew my wedding work was going to be featured in this month’s edition of East&West magazine, but found out after it hit the stands that the article is the cover story, which is pretty sweet.

Big, big “thank you’s” to Kim and Dane (that’s Kim above, looking gorgeous), Vinh and Diep, Anthony and Sammi, and Marc and Hien, whose images are in the magazine.
