Josee+Peter ~ barebonelove

December 8, 2009

I spent this past Saturday afternoon with Josee and Peter. I really can’t believe this is my job. I  get to hang out with some of the coolest and sweetest people. ( I’m actually going to be writing a blog shortly about how an increasing amount of clients are becoming a part of the barebonefamily!)  AND I get to do my favorite thing in the world, take pictures.

Josee and Peter will get married this coming January at the Rosewater in Toronto.

Here are some of my favorite images.

Sky+Raph couldn’t have picked a more amazing location for their wedding.

It was the very first wedding at the newly renovated Royal Conservatory of Music AND my last wedding of the year……….what a way to end my 2009 season!

Inside the concert hall was STUNNING!

_BBP7645

Sky’s dress was a perfect fit!

_BBP7248

Raph was channeling 007 in this shot!

_BBP7500

_BBP7328

There was amazing architecture everywhere!

_BBP7383

I think this next one is my favorite……..it was taken in the concert hall.

So right before the bedeken I introduced myself to the Rabbi and asked if he has any “rules” for photography. And he turned to me and said…….”Yes if you wouldn’t use a flash I would appreciate it.” Now were talking November 28th when the sun sets at 4:30 and we were in a  candle lit glass box!!!! I must say I had a moment of “oh crap”…..but then I remembered my wonderful Nikon D3 with it’s 6500 iso and my 50mm 1.8 lens. Without the “banning of the flash”. I wouldn’t have shot the following ceremony shots….and in my opinion…..I ROCKED the no flash rule!

A lovely moment during the Bedeken (veiling ceremony)

Now for the day after shots………….

If you know Lisa or I you will know that we are huge TWILIGHT fans, actually more like HUGE Edward fans, Not Rob Pattinson….EDWARD……so this is my homage to the “meadow” shot.

For those of you traveling to Playa Del Carmen there is the perfect little piece of beach right at the dock for the Ferry to Cozumel.

It made these next couple of pictures……love the color!

When we were done shooting and the sun was set, when both Lisa and I noticed this wall……….we just looked at each other and said “Oh yes……we must shoot here!” I love working with other photogrpahers.

_BBP6862

_BBP6886

Lisa was my assistant for three years I got to know her VERY well…….she makes me laugh and always brings a smile to my face. So I thought I would let her do the same for you……sorry Lisa…..I had too.

_BBP6272

Lisa I miss having you as my right hand woman……..and Adam your pretty good stuff too! Hope you love the images as much as I loved shooting them!
