			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had heard about Cabo Mexico before.  My first majestic glimpses of this ocean-front paradise were limited to Google images, but even that was enough to win me over completely. Strikingly beautiful seaside cliffs, long stretches of sandy beach, a dry sunny climate and Cabo Wabo, the infamous bar owned by Sammy Hagar of Van Halen&#8230; what more could a photographer ask for!  So when Jennifer &#038; Vandy approached me about coming along to photograph their wedding there, I took up the offer without hesitation!  The chance to travel to Cabo with this hip, stylish couple and their close-knit family was destined to sweeten the deal in ways I didn’t expect.</p>
<p>One of the best features of a destination wedding is the chance to spend time and share a whole week’s worth of amazing experiences – and images!  Some great moments included strolling along the beach with the pounding surf striking the shoreline, a private boat cruise with the entire wedding party, ATVing across the desert, partying in town and of course, Vandy making his first comedic stage appearance. </p>
<p>This wedding was a very special one to not only to Jennifer, Vandy and their guests, but also special to me, as I forged new friendships and shared experiences with a loving group of close-knit family and friends. It really was a once in a lifetime experience for me to be there!</p>
<p>To Jenn, Vandy and everyone who attended – Muchas, muchas gracias!  Thank you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought it would be fun to just play around and do something different today, so I exported all the frames (700 of them) from a wedding I had shot this past season to see what they would look like when stitched together in a movie clip.</p>
<p>One thing that I love about flipping through wedding day images like this, is how you can just feel the positive energy radiating from the photos in series!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please forgive me for the rather basic editing and crude compression &#8211; I have never made a video before, but am learning quickly!</p>
<p>To see the images from Elisabeth &amp; Ian&#8217;s wedding <a href="http://www.unionphoto.ca/blog/2009/10/verity-george-resturant-wedding-elisabeth-ian/" target="_self">click here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was elated when my good friend and fellow photograper extraordinaire, Varia broke the good news of her pregnancy to me and I was even more overwhelmed when she asked if I would like to do a maternity portrait session in my studio with her.</p>
<p>Having never really shot baby bumps before, I decided that I would use it as an experience to try something new and to do so with as little outside influence as possible. I wanted the photography to be simple, pure and powerful, without taking away from the beautiful nature of the subject. I also wanted it to reflect my own in-studio style, which is seen more on the commercial and portrait side of my business.</p>
<p>To add an extra element of sophistication to the photos, Varia booked the extremely talented <a href="mailto:nkudashkina@gmail.com">Natasha Kudashinka</a> to come into the studio and body paint her belly. It turned out better than I could have imagined. It&#8217;s just fantastic when all the elements come together.</p>
<p>If you are looking to do an artistic maternity session, do send me an email or call. It was such an amazing experience and I am looking forward to doing many more!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always get excited when photographing weddings at beautiful churches like St. Peter&#8217;s Cathedral Basilica in London Ontario. I won&#8217;t lie, it does make my job a little easier when each photographic opportunity is greeted with stained glass, Gothic pillars and intricate murals!</p>
<p>Both Anna and Norbert are pretty artistic and you could see it shine through in all of the intricate details of their day. From Anna&#8217;s beautiful and stylish dress to the table settings which she designed. It must also be mentioned that Anna is also a photographer &#8211; so she knew just what she was looking for when contacting me. Fun, different and exciting photos! Needless to say, I enjoyed taking on the challenge and had a fantastic time working with them throughout the day!</p>
<p>Another great part of the day was working alongside my good friends at StillMotion, who were on hand to create a same day edit of the event. <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/6037815" target="_blank">Check that out here</a>. It&#8217;s stunning!</p>
<p>Thanks again to the both of you for a wonderful wedding! And remember - Rain on your wedding day brings fortune, abundance and luck! So I am sure you will be receiving plenty in the future!</p>
<p>- Jon</p>

<p>Heather and Andrew were such a fun (and totally silly) couple to work with for the day. We were able to explore a little and they didn&#8217;t complain when I dragged them up step hills and through a soggy fields. Troopers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is just a quick little post to show off a different style of wedding album that was created for one of my fantastic couples. This canvas covered album is based on our Vogue series but is unique in the sense that the entire wrap of the cover can be an image. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.unionphoto.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/canvas_wedding_album.jpg" alt="" title="canvas wedding photography album" /></p>
<p>For this particular album, we decided to go with a slick and modern design that features one of their favorite wedding photos. Canvas covers do cost a little extra and may take extra time to produce due to their custom nature, but the results are spectacular!</p>
