Cuba Sunsets + Bride & Groom = Awesome Images!

jameshodgins — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:57:42 +0000

Last week we had the pleasure of attending & photographing the wedding of John & Andrea in Cuba on the beaches of Cayo Coco. It’s always an honor to be asked to photograph another Professional Photographers wedding when there are so many options out there in our industry.

Andrea & John had gorgeous beachside ceremony followed by cocktails and dinner. We opted to head out the next day during the afternoon/evening hours to create some unique wedding images for the couple using backgrounds found minutes from the resort.

We had a blast hanging out with everyone, especially our photographer friends that we only get to see a few times a year. Every time we all get together we always reminisce about how/where we met and how fortunate we all are that photography has brought us into each others lives.

Andrea, John, thanks again for a great week of sun fun & rum.

Here are a couple from last week. More to come. Enjoy

Dealing with a BRIDEZILLA!

jameshodgins — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:10:12 +0000

Some brides handle stress of a wedding day better than others and some brides just flat out lose it. Andrea had a bone to pick with her brother on her wedding day and I was there to capture the moment.

I normally will not post images until the wedding package is finished, but after playing around with this one I thought I would share it with you all. We had a great time creating this image and yes, there is a story behind the photo and why we did it, but you will have to ask Andrea about that.

P.S. I thank my lucky stars that I have not had a Bridezilla in YEARS!!!

I Look At Clint & Cherish’s Wedding | Sudbury Wedding Photographer

Now that Cherish & Clint have their wedding package in hand I can now share with you some images from their gorgeous day.

Nick & Andrea Know How To Too-Doo-Loo!

jameshodgins — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 23:50:06 +0000

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!!!

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.”

Vicky & Larry Were Married Today – Sudbury Wedding

jameshodgins — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 01:54:01 +0000

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.

A Look At Natasha & Chris’s Wedding

jameshodgins — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 00:50:17 +0000

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.

Tracy & Ryan Were Married Today

jameshodgins — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 23:35:33 +0000

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.

Cherish & Clint Were Married Today.

jameshodgins — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:51:50 +0000

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.

Tracy & Ryan Are Getting Married

jameshodgins — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:29:03 +0000

Last night Jocelyne and I headed to the Valley to hook up with Tracy & Ryan for their engagement session. Tracy was NERVOUS to say the least. I have no idea why, she’s beautiful and has a gorgeous smile. Paired up with her fiance Ryan we just couldn’t go wrong. We immediately noticed that these two were not shy to kiss while being photographed. As some couples swoop in for a quick “peck” like kiss, these two were the total opposite, and that’s what we love to see when photographing couples. I notice that I am trying to capture those moments before I am actually about to take the image. They might think that I am changing my camera settings or trying to find a new angle, but I am closely watching them waiting for that spontaneous moment where they are laughing, giggling or both. These are the images that I LOVE to capture.

Here is another from our Intimate Affair Coverage last Friday.

A Peak At Jovana & Bobby’s Wedding

jameshodgins — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:04:39 +0000

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.

Now THAT’S a Kiss!

jameshodgins — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:29:48 +0000

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).
