Capturing the Light Photography Blog- Toronto, Kitchener, Waterloo Wedding Photographer

Brittany + Frank are getting married this August in Drayton, Ontario with the reception at the Waterloo Inn.

We had a bit of a ‘moment’ on this shoot.

We were minding our own business, photographing in downtown Kitchener.  I’ve got the camera up to my eye and I’m focusing on the couple when I can hear someone yelling.  I ignore it for a bit, but it starts getting louder and louder.  When I put the camera down, I finally see the deranged…ummm, homeless guy?… charging straight at me calling me every 4 letter word in the book.  He winds up 6 inches in front of my face screaming and ranting.

I manage to calm him down and he walks off around the corner.  Of course, we had to go around the same corner… so we crossed the street and went down the opposite side.  Apparently, this still managed to set him off as he came running across traffic for round two.  By this point I’ve got the cell phone out and I’ve dialed 9-1-…. and then he walked away.

The rest of the shoot went fine, but it did take us all a few minutes to unwind after that. I can honestly say, that’s the closest I’ve ever come to calling the police.

Brittany, Frank; Let’s hope your wedding isn’t quite as exciting.

After what seemed like a million postponements because of rain, I finally got to meet up with Kim + Adam for their engagement pictures in Brampton.

The shoot was done just in a local park, nothing fancy… okay… and maybe a quick trip down to Airport Rd!

Like I keep telling my clients, it’s more about the light than some killer location.

Kim + Adam are getting married in July at Otello’s in Oakville, Ontario.

Here are some of my favourite pics from the engagement session.
