What a Tripp

down memory lane that is. Recently we had one of my previous brides come in and order more images from their wedding. I photographed Jason & Sylvie Tripp back in 2005 where we did all the formal images before the ceremony. Back then the Bell Mansion was a beautiful place to photograph weddings and they were pretty well booked every weekend. I remember there being 6 photographers with wedding parties on the grounds photographing and we would all rotate around mansion picking our spots. I went through the whole wedding again and remembered the day all over. I thought I would snag a few images and post them here to share with you. Enjoy.

Sudbury To St.Lucia

At least that is where Ashley & Chris will be spending their honeymoon this August. Joce and I just finished photographing their engagement session this evening and the talks continued on after about St. Lucia. As most of you know that is where Joce and I got married and where we also met our good friend Kirk Elliott. We had a blast photographing them this evening, dodging dirt bikes & dust clouds we managed to create a great variety of images. I take it as a true compliment when a guy (or groom) says “Hey, that was actually a lot of fun.” because usually it’s the guys that take a bit to warm up to the photography session. If you think the engagement session is fun WAIT until the wedding day, it’s an engagement session on steroids.

Thanks again Ashley & Chris, we are very excited for your upcoming wedding and we look forward to creating more stunning images and of course hear all about your honeymoon in St. Lucia.

P.S. For those of you who are planning on going to St. Lucia, get certified, St. Lucia has amazing diving.

Only A Few Spots Left For Pin-Up Day

We only have a few spots left for our Sudbury Pin-Up Event this Saturday. It’s looking like it will be a sell out event and it is first come first serve. For more information check out out Pin-Up Day Page

Cat Day At The Studio

Actually it wasn’t a “day” at all, more like Cat 2 minutes and 7 seconds. Joce and I decided to brave the odds and get our two furballs into the studio and update their portrait. The last time I did this was about 8 years ago and we figured since the one cat “Bogen” is getting up there in age, we might as well do it now before it’s too late. What a pure joy it was to get these two to sit still for the camera. Purring & talking, scratching and hissing. Oh the wonderful joys of photographing felines. I so look forward to when we officially launch “Cat Day” at the studio. FYI – Cat Day will be held at James Hodgins Photography when hell freezes over and turns into one giant litter box.

Out of the dozen or so images I snapped we did manage to get two that pretty well portrays our kitties. They will now be memorialized with 30 inch vertical canvas prints in our home. We are really glad we managed to get this done, as it will make us appreciate the time we still have with them both, as their lives almost came to a sudden end earlier today.

Dog Day Image #5

Fiona here is what we like to call a “firecracker with fur”. We stuffed her with so many doggy treats that by the end of the session she outright refused to eat anymore.

Another Day At School + Dog Day #3

jameshodgins — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 03:01:18 +0000

Of course, I am not attending, but documenting. Today was another series of images for the Cambrian College Programs. This image was metering the amount of “wind” created by the fan. It was pretty technical, and of course I tuned myself out (like I usually do).

DOG DAY IMAGE #3

“Django”

This guy just had that “in your face” look.
