JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

If you are wondering what “Too-Doo-Loo” is then I suggest you ask Nick and his boys as they are star performers in this art.  Andrea learned first hand how to do it after Nick gave her a brief performance during their wedding photography session.

We just finished documenting the wedding of  Nick & Andrea, 2 people that know how to have fun on their wedding day.  Always smiling, always laughing, their day unfolded without a hitch.  From handcuffing the bride at the altar to boogieing on down at their grand entrance, these two know how to be the life of the party.  Let’s not forget their kickass wedding party as well as the girls looked gorgeous and the guys screamed coolness.  We had a blast with everyone today as it was never a dull moment with our couple.   Congratulations to the both of you again Nick & Andrea.  I think the image below sums it all up.  Thanks for a blast!!!

Well, the festivities are done but the party is just starting.  We are now in our huge *ss condo in Banff Alberta, relaxing, playing pingong, pool, and cooling off with some cold beverages.  Tyler & Emili had an outstanding wedding yesterday at the bottom of the Rockie Mountains at the Nakoda Lodge in Moreley Alberta.  The sun was shining, the wind was blowing and everyone was having an amazing time.   Tyler has been a friend of mine since before highschool, and I knew that I would not be able to sit still and not take images of him and his gorgeous bride Emili.  They gave me some time after the ceremony to create some stunning images in some very unique locations.  Almost getting trampled by killer bulls and keeping an eye out for the vicious cougar kept things rolling at a steady pace.

Tyler, Emili, your wedding was one for the books. The two of you were ment for each other.

Congratulations again to you both.

Like clockwork it’s been about six weeks after Krista & Jeff’s wedding and they now have everything in their hands, so it’s time I shared with the rest of you a little insight into Jeff & Krista’s Sudbury Wedding.

“James and Joce,

We’ve received our photo package…we absolutely love them all! We laughed, we cried, we ooohed and aaahed. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you very much. We’re very excited to share these with our friends and family.

Thanks again for the wonderful work you’ve done.”

Well it was the second weekend in a row that I have been soaked on a wedding day.  Fortunately today was because of the rain and not because of the 36 Degree sweat I accumulated last Saturday LOL.  Yes, it was a wet one today, but Vicky & Larry along with their bridal party were up to the challenge today, getting out in the rainy streets of Sudbury to create some awesome images.  The rain decided to stay with us for the entire day, but that only meant that Larry & Vicky needed to cuddle in closer to keep each other warm and dry.  Thanks again you two, even though it was cloudy, wet & rainy, your wedding day was full of warmth and sunshine.

We photographed Natasha & Chris’s wedding at the end of June and they now have their wedding package in their hands, so I thought I would now post some images to share with the rest of you. Enjoy.

Well it was another Kick*ss wedding in Sudbury Ontario today.  Tracy & Ryan sure did pick a hot one, but that was just fine since their ceremony was outside at the Bell Park Gazebo, and we will always pick sunshine over rain any day.  Tracy & Ryan were totally into the photography, and even though we were all “soaked” from the heat, they kept on top of the game the whole day, even when they wanted to trek 20 minutes into the  bush for some nature style images (which was well worth it).    Having a bridal party along with the bride and groom that always energetic, upbeat, fun, and are game for anything, keeps the creative photography juices flowin.  Thanks again Tracy & Ryan,  Joce and I had a great day with the both of you. We wish you the best on your honeymoon, can’t wait to hear about it.

What a way to spend a Thursday!!!! Cherish & Clint wanted to get married on the day they met which was July 28th, so………………they did.  Now that we are finished it actually feels like it’s Saturday hahaha.  Clint showed up this morning sp0rting his VERY shiny, extra detailed, badass truck (Dayum, that truck looked good) along with a million dollar smile.  The girls were “Pretty In Pink”, looked hot, and were all laughs and smiles during their session and fortunately the weather was great with overcast skies and a slight breeze.  From Azilda to Timberwolf we covered a lot of ground creating kickbutt images all the way.  With dust covered trails we bolted down the course with our offroading golf carts (only loosing one groomsmen during a sharp corner) searching out the best holes for the wedding party to strike a pose.

We had a blast today with loads of fun and laughter.  Cherish & Clint were awesome and the bridal party was entertaining and energetic.  Thanks again everyone for making this wedding FUN!  We truly enjoyed ourselves.

Here is another from our Intimate Affair Coverage last Friday.

This was our first wedding of the season and it was something completely different from our everyday weddings.  Serbian traditions are very colorful, music filled and family oriented.

Carole & Guy’s first kiss was years ago at the end of their first date, and at that time I guess it wasn’t in the cards for these two lovebirds to be together.  Years later (YEARS LATER) their paths crossed again one evening while they were waiting in the same lineup, and I guess it was SOME kiss as Carole’s friends blurted out “THAT’S THE KISS? THAT’S THE GUY?”

Today they had many chances to recreate that first kiss as Carole & Guy were married earlier this evening with an intimate affair at Bell Mansion.    We revisited the park bench where Guy told us that one time while they were sitting on that same bench looking out over Ramsey lake, he knew that Carole was the woman he would marry.  And he was right.

Carole, Guy, thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon and evening, Jocelyne and I can’t explain how much fun we had with the three of you (Bella Included).

Bella’s typical reaction to the kiss.
