MEET PAUL
It’s hard to summarize who I am in a short statement. I am a man from a varied background. I come from Western Canada and have had the pleasure of living in BC, Alberta and now in Ontario. It seems by chance how I got involved in photography, but I’m now obsessed. We all need a creative outlet. A few things about me.
I am a father of two amazing kids, which cemented my love of photography and our need to capture the precious moments in life.
I have an amazing, creative and inspirational wife. She has really pushed me, and without her I wouldn’t be where I am today with my art.
I love art. I consider photography a beautiful expression of how a person sees the world and is as individual as a painter’s canvas.
I am a nerd. The glasses aren’t just for looks. Star wars, Lord of the Rings, Neil deGrasse Tyson. All things fantastic, amazing and scientific capture my attention.
I love nature. However, I never seem to have enough time to enjoy it as much as I would like.
Beer and I are good friends.
Food and I are good friends. However, I have saved many a salmon in my day… not my thing.
The opportunities photography have given me has given me the travel bug. I’ve seen many parts of Canada, the beautiful islands of the south, parts of the US and Europe.
WHY WEDDINGS?
I get the opportunity to witness the intimacy between two people and share their story. I feel truly lucky to be able to capture those moments and that story that help define a couple. I provide more than a service, I capture love. I hope that my pictures are something a couple will look back well into their old age and remember who they are with and why they chose to follow each other through in life. Wedding photos are a portal to the past, and are a great artistic canvas.
