My Niece Piper came into the studio today while Mom, Dad & Brother were out to play. Like typical Piper style she gave me a whopping whole 10 minutes to photograph her before she had enough. Luckily with this one, you just can’t go wrong and yes I am being biased. The yellow hat and sweater were knitted by Piper’s Great Grandma so of course I had to photograph her in that. Then it was out with the Piper Pickle Purple background (I think that is what I am going to call it now) which I was aloud to photograph her for a whole 6.23 minutes. Oh my little sweetheart, Uncle Jamie is going to wear you down over the next few years.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner…. we knew both of you have been real real busy with your trip to the east coast and all the summer weddings.
Wow…what can I say….. I never shed a tear on my wedding day but I totally cried like a baby when watching the DVD and looking over the proofs with my beloved husband Don.
We clearly understand why you are both in such high demand as you both share such creativeness and ingenuity and have so much fun with all your images.
We really appreciate that you took the time to work around your hectic schedule and agreed to photograph our wedding day with such short notice.
The suggestion to take photo’s prior to the wedding ceremony was a terrific solution and the images reflected such adoration with the entire family.
Thank you so much to both of you for capturing our family unit (including Toby of course) with such fondness and consideration.
Don and I sat together yet again to review the DVD and the proofs with our family and the reaction is always the same one of ahhh and delight!!
You both truly went beyond any of our expectations and we love the consideration and intimacy that went into creating the beautiful cover of our proof book and also the DVD cover front and back…it was such a thoughtful surprise.
James what can we say you truly have an eye for your creative images!!
James and Jocelyne you made us all feel so comfortable and worked so well together bringing originality to one of the most important days in our families life…………. thank you again from all of us!!”
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Don & Lee Ann Harvey & Family

“We truly thank the two of you for such an amazing job. You made our day so special and everyone had such a great time working with you.

Thank you guys so much for everything you did and just for being so great!”
It’s quite often we get to document other photographers weddings. Today Joce, myself and fellow photographer Michael Blinn photographed another fellow photographers wedding. Jennifer and Nick picked a warm sunny Friday to tie the knot. We were all over God’s creation today photographing in Onaping, Vermillion Lake, Dowling, Downtown, and finishing off at Science North. Even though Jennifer is usually behind the camera (photographing Nick) she had no problem being in front of the camera today. The red wall is a spot that we use quite often, but everytime we go there, we capture different images. This is due to the couples, the time of day, and what our lighting is doing. Today was no exception as the sun was high in the sky filtering through the fire escape stairs throwing “rays” of light and shadow on the wall. We are now on Holidays and heading off on our East Coast Motorcycle Trip next week. You will be able to follow our travels at my East Coast Page.
Yesterday was our first Friday wedding of the year. I like shooting Friday weddings, there’s just something different. Maybe it’s the fact that we always shoot Saturday weddings that make Friday weddings have a different “energy” about them. Well Lee Ann and Don couldn’t have picked a better day, even though it rained later in the afternoon we already had all the formals done. Like the others, this wedding was pure enjoyment. A small intimate affair with family and close friends in which they all made Joce and feel right at home. We had no trouble getting these 2 to stay affectionate in front of the camera (They kiss like all the young kids do). Sometimes it’s hard for me to pick one image to post here to talk about our day, but when I saw this image I knew it was the one. Don always looked right at home when Lee Ann had her arms around him, and when she kissed him, you could see him melt. It’s a great thing to capture. Thanks again you two, the pleasure was ours.
Joce and I just finished Caitlyn & Matthew’s engagment session. What a gorgeous Spring evening it was. Warm, Sunny (with just a little haze) and no bugs. It was the perfect evening to create some dramatic images along with some storytelling as well. Matthew & Caitlyn are to be married this August right after we get back from our motorcycle trip so we will be eager to get behind the camera again to document another love story.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!. Things are moving FAST for us and we are now booking for 2011
(we might have a few more weekends open so please call).
We want you to have a “stress free wedding”. Go ahead and compare us to others, we encourage it, as we want you to be 100% sure that you want us to document your wedding, it’s true what they say “you get what you pay for”. Don’t settle for a photographer that looks at your wedding day as a “job”, you want a photographer that is fun, upbeat, and enjoys your day just as much as you do, and of course, get some kick-butt images to tell the story over and over.
Ask yourself what your wedding photography means to you. What will it mean to you after your wedding day? This is a big decision and one that should not be taken lightly, so take the time to get to know your photographer. Ask your photographer a few key questions:
How long has he/she been in photographing weddings?
Are they experienced enough to handle any situation?
Does your photographer have a studio (for backup plans)
Does he/she belong to any professional associations?
Does your photographer do this full time or part time?
What happens if it rains? etc….
You want a photographer that has have all of these issues covered.
Look over everything we have to offer on this page, and then give us a call so that we can meet and further discuss YOUR wedding day. We will answer any questions you may have. We do require you to come in for a consultation as we want to answer all your questions in person face to face.
At the very bottom of the email, read some of our testimonials from our brides and grooms, their words speak for themselves.
Remember, you are not hiring a photographer to take your wedding pictures, your investing in a studio that will help make your day one that everyone can remember, flow smoothly and stress free, and have beautiful memories of one of the most important days of your lives.

What can I say?!?!! We haven’t gotten all of our photos yet but what we have seen is unbelievable. Pat was not too sure of James’ style at first but once our engagement session was finished and he got to see what you do he loved it!!! We both rave to all our friends and family what talent James has. Pat says he makes him look like a GQ model HaHaHa!!! After we had finished shooting the day of the wedding Pat says we didn’t pay enough!!! ( Don’t let this comment influence a price hike J). I can’t believe how comfortable you both made us feel and it felt like we’ve been long time friends and everything was natural
It’s a little over a week after our wedding and our teaser pod has come in so handy!!! We forgot all our pictures that people have given us in Sudbury with my parents…whereas with the teaser pod, we never leave home without it!!!!! ( it fits in my purse very nicely) It is such a convenient way to show people some of our photos and it gives them and US a hint of what will be coming, we couldn’t be happier and we can’t wait!!!!
Like I mentioned before Pat was such a skeptic and he thought the price was too much, but now he thinks almost (and I say almost!) any price is worth for James to work his magic!!! Pat is thinking of other events in our life that he’d like James to capture like our goddaughter as she will soon be one and she is just so cute!!!!
If we haven’t said it a million times already THANK YOU so much!!!!! The whole experience couldn’t have gone better. Thank you Jocelyne for being my unofficial other brides maid!!! ( As I only had one) I love my sister but you just helped so much as well with my dress and other little things. People had actually mistaken you for one of my best friends Sam Pelletier-Pellerin ( but she wasn’t at the wedding) and they got confused when you started helping James…J
We will keep in touch for sure for future events!!!! My parents have their 40th wedding anniversary coming up in three years maybe I should book you now!?!! HaHaHa.
Love
Pat and Danielle Gladu
Read what one groom says about us from his wedding this past season:
“To anyone seeking a photographer, look no further!
When my wife Christine and I were setting the budgets for our wedding, one area that we both agreed should not be undervalued was the wedding photos. Our thinking was simply that these were not just photos, they are our memories. A friend of ours recommended Hodgins Photography, and I am glad he did. James and his lovely wife Jocelyne warmly answered any question we had over the phone and agreed to meet with us for a consult at our convenience. Christine and I decided that we would not only acquire their services but also let James give us some direction as to how to fit the photo session into our wedding day. Needless to say, this left us feeling very at ease and the entire photo taking experience passed by effortlessly. James and Jocelyne exceeded my expectations, and I have received nothing but the most envious of compliments from every single person that has viewed the photos. James truly possesses a remarkable talent for his craft and I would strongly recommend that any person seeking a photographer not only acquire his services, but also allocate the time for him to work what can only be described as his magic.
Once again James and Jocelyne I can’t thank you both enough for such exceptional service.
I have been meaning to tell you, ever since our wedding last year, just how happy I am with the pictures. You guys did such an amazing job. Our family and friends are still talking about the pictures and people ask us who our photographer was all the time.
I don’t usually like any pictures of myself…but I have to admit that I couldn’t stop looking at these pictures! It really means so much to me that I have such a great way to remember our day. I don’t think that I can put into words how thrilled we are with them. Also, you guys just made our day and the picture taking so much fun. It was a really enjoyable experience.
I just wanted to let you know I got the photos today and they are amazing!!! I am so happy with them and I know Jonathon will be too. I showed some people in my office and they were sooo impressed. I can’ wait to get home now to watch the DVD. You can put the pics on line now. Again I just want to thank you and James so much for everything, when we were planning the wedding we decided that we would spend a good portion of our budget on our photographer and I am so glad we did, you have given us memories that will last a lifetime. Good luck with everything and you will for sure be hearing from us for baby pics next year.
