JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

Joce and I just finished the engagement session of Vicky & Larry this evening and  like usual we try to incorporate a little hodgy humor in some.  It turns out that Larry here is a huge Blue Jays Fan, Oh wait. I mean Maple Leafs fan (everyone knows how much I know about hockey eh?) and his soon to be wife is a huge Habs fan.  Vicky has been a fan since she was 2 and half years old, so I think it’s safe to say she’s a big fan (She even has Montreal Canadian seat covers in her car).   We thought we would do an image depicting the love between the two NHL fans showing who usually get’s the best of one another.  Vicky, Larry, thanks again for a great time, we look forward to playing some street hockey on your wedding day.

I just couldn’t resist myself.   There is something about a women in a white dress that sparks my wedding photography radar, even when I am visiting Timmins Ontario.   Check out the video.  A BIG thanks to Jacinthe & Denis.  Congratulations to you both. 

We just finished the engagement session for Jovana & Bobby who are getting married next month (WOW! IT’S WEEKS AWAY).  We just met the couple face to face a few weeks earlier to go over the final wedding details and I must say, there was a big change from then and now.  Now don’t get me wrong, they are a great couple, smiling, giggling, you know, “the in love look” on their faces.   The meeting was great.   But Bobby was kinda quiet, and it’s the usual quietness that we see in grooms during consultations like this.

Tonight however……..was different.    We got to see the true side of Bobby.  True Bobby is FUN, and the more fun Bobby had the more fun Jovana had.  The whole time you could see them feed off each others energy.  The whole session was us laughing and being loud!  It was AWESOME and we can’t wait for their wedding next month.

Thanks again to the both of you.  We had a great time during the session.  My stomach muscles still hurt.

Using that May Sun to warm up the downtown background.

And this sums it up when you let them do whatever they want.  I love it!

Often we get requests for reprints from weddings and sessions that I have photographed years ago, and most of the time it ends up me sitting in front of my computer  hrs later after I have gone through and browsed hundreds of images from previous sessions.  I start flipping through our archives reminiscing about the sessions and the people we photographed and I just can’t stop.  If you are a photographer, then you probably know what I mean, and if you have not done so already, go take a look at some of the images you created from years ago, it’s road down memory lane.   Here are two bridal images from 2004, image on the left was here in Sudbury and the image on the right was in Scottsdale Arizona.

Well, I finally got an image of Joce in her wedding dress.  This is just a sneak peak, as I only grabbed this one really quick between speakers.  We are planning on going out tomorrow with Mike Long and Jason Groupp to do some impromptu photoshoot of Joce and I. So Stay Tuned!!

Last October, Serge and Michelle contacted us for a photoshoot as they really didn’t have any professional  images of them as a couple (see blog post).  Well now we are photographing their wedding in July 2012 as they were recently engaged while on vacation in Jamaica.  CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN Michelle & Serge.

Here is a quick inside look at more images from Lesley & Savario’s Wedding this past summer.

Wheeling and dealing to always bring more value to our wedding clients, Joce and I managed to get a great deal for wedding couples this year. Now with every package booked for 2011 and 2012 (including those that have already booked) we have now included a 30 inch Custom Canvas Gallery Wrap  with your package (excluding the Intimate Affairs).  We have also upgraded the 8×8 Albums to 10×10 Albums just to be extremely generous.
