Ashley and Bryan met me at Cattle Point a couple of weeks ago for their engagement shoot and we headed over to Mt. Tolmie after for some great views. They’re a really sweet couple, making for some beautiful, intimate portraits. I booked their wedding last June, when we met over pints at Maude Hunter’s and I could tell they were a fun and laid-back couple. I can’t wait for their August wedding at Sea Cider, where they’ll have lots of friends and family come all the way from Ontario to celebrate their marriage.

I had a fun shoot up at Mt. Doug with Kirsten and Chris a couple weeks ago.  I got a chance to try out some new techniques, including my first successful Brenizer Method outside of the workshop (see second image), and enjoy the ridiculous amount of greenery there and stunning view.  I loved their matching outfits and her amazing red hair.

Here’s the final set of photos I took at the Ryan Brenizer workshop in LA. Ron and Mari were kind enough to model for us, and they were naturals. These were all taken using available light.

The following is a Brenizer Method panorama made up of 12 photos taken with my 85mm 1.8 lens.  It was initially going to be larger, but I stopped in the middle when I remembered that everything was supposed to be set to manual mode.  Then I realized that everything already was manual.  Oh well.

A random cat stopped by to visit us on the rooftop.  I couldn’t resist taking some photos.

And a couple of shots of Ryan teaching, taken with my tilt-shift lens on the first day I used it.
