Shout-Outs and Accolades!

Filed under: News — timchin @ 5:22 pm

 

We’re not not normally in the habit of pimping ourselves but I thought it was cool that we: 1) got a shout-out on the weddingbells.ca website (Thanks Rosie!) and 2) we placed 13th in the quarterly WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) in the cake cutting category.

Baby Love: Wilbur and Carole’s Family Shoot

Filed under: Babies and Maternity — timchin @ 10:04 pm

Our dear friends Wilbur and Carole will be leaving Montreal before the end of this month with their darling baby girl Valerie for sunny California. We’ve known them for quite some time now – in fact Wilbur and Carole met for the very time at my backyard birthday party quite a few years ago! We’ve seen them through many different life changes and so it was our privilege to document them together as a family. We had Wilbur’s father come out for the shoot too to get some pictures with his first grandchild before she moves to the other side of the continent with her parents.

Tim and I are becoming big believers in the family portrait. Not the Sears type, mind you  – but a portrait that draws you back to a time in your life, that captures the simple love a family has for one another, the puts into tangible reality the ties that bind. We love the documentary aspect and the creative energy of photographing weddings and more and more we hope to pour out our passion into creating telling portraits.

Here’s a few of our favorites from the shoot:

West Side Story (or, our trip to Vancouver)

Filed under: Personal, Photoshoots — timchin @ 2:14 am

Happy December! I can’t believe how fast the year has gone by already. Time to catch up the blog…

With almost the entire wedding season under our belts, Tim and I flew out to Vancouver last month to spend 4 days learning, listening and getting our world shaken up. We attended a seminar held by Bebb Studios, named by American Photo Magazine as one of the top 10 wedding studios in the world. And they’re Canadian….rock on! Jen and Steve Bebb are awesome photographers and great people. We had such much fun and so many laughs learning from them. It was good to spend the week with some a group of talented photographers from around Canada and the States. Tim and I were thankful for the chance to take time off to think about our studio, reflect on what we’ve been doing and get inspired! We’re so excited about all the cool things we’ve brewing up and looking forward to our next season.

We did a model shoot during the seminar on the one day that it didn’t actually rain. Here are my (Angela’s) shots:

And…here are Tim’s shots! We normally work as a team when we shoot together but this was sort of a different situation for us – we couldn’t direct each other’s shots so it was fun to see that we came up with pretty different images although we were in the same settings.
