“Hey there Joce & James,

Love the blog. Sorry about the menthol toothpaste. It is quite a funny story though (Hehe!). YES it did rain cats & dogs but you managed to help make it a wedding to remember. Thanks guys for rolling with the punches and keeping up with the positive waves. We had no choice but to follow along with you. Derek, Julz and their wedding party loved their photo session so much, they would have kept on posing for you all day and on through the night.

Thanks for the extra care you provided for Derek’s grandma too. We appreciated your concern and consideration.

Joe & I…we’re just crazy happy for the memories you helped us create. Can’t wait until we can see all the photos in August.

You two are truly an amazing and passionate team…Keep on creating magic!”

Renée & Don (Joe) Wilkins, Blind River, Ontario

We are pretty sure EVERYONE had fun at the wedding….especially the Bride & Groom

We would like to personally thank the two of you Melanie & Mike, your bridal party, and your family and guests for making this day very enjoyable.  THANK YOU!

After visiting Sheri’s place in the morning we quickly learned that there were LOADS of opportunities for wedding photos.  She had it all, sheds, fields, wooden bridges, huge tree’s you name it, this property had it.  So why rush back into the city when we had our little paradise here?  Bridge?  If there is a bridge, then there must be a creek?  If there is a creek, is there fish? LOL.  Anyways, to make a long blog short, we all thought it would be funny to have an image of Mark fishing on his wedding day.  So we put a Hodgy Humor spin on it and came up with this.  I love it when we have loads of time to get creative.

Thanks again everyone for a truly wonderful wedding.  Family, bridal party, heck even the weather was perfect.  We had a blast as usual.

We absolutely LOVE the photos and the “teaser pod” is so aptly named.  Everyone I showed them to got to the last picture and said “awww, I want to see more.”    I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures because the 25 that we got last night are absolutely amazing.  I can’t believe that the pictures of me don’t show just how nervous I was. You guys made everything so easy for me and relieved a lot of my anxiety and everyone in the bridal party thought the two of you “made the day, and without them it could have been a really long day.” I’ve already warned Aaron that we will see a lot of you through the years to come.

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.

Look over our packages that include your wedding day, and other portrait sessions and if you have any questions give us a call.

TESTIMONIALS

James & Jocelyne

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.

Sincerely,

Devin Kinsella

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.

Thanks for everything

Hi Jocelyne & James,

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.

Take care,

Candice Doherty

Our alternative style of wedding photography is different from the others.

Why? We have fun, that’s why! We think that is the main ingredient to  creating outstanding images on your wedding day.    Often referred to as the “Trend Setters” for Sudbury wedding photography, we are always coming up with new ideas and locations (especially with our destination weddings) to make your images look like one of a kind.  We are constantly scoping out new places  and trying new lighting techniques to make your images stand above the rest.  Let us help you plan your day so that you are stress free, relaxed & enjoying every minute.

Outstanding wedding images do not just “happen”. The bride and groom do not just stop in the right spot, with the right light hitting their faces in the right direction with the right amount of intensity. They are not turned at the right angle, leaning the right way so that all the photographer has to do is click the shutter. Outstanding wedding images are created, in any situation, in any environment with any means possible. That is why you invest in a professional.
