I'd like to start off this post by once again congratulating my lovely sister-in-law Cara and her new husband Joel on their wedding last month. I know I said it a few times on the day of the wedding, but, whatever, it's my blog, I'll post what I like. Congrats!
I wasn't the principal shooter on this one - Cara and Joel wanted me to be able to enjoy myself as a guest rather than having to work the whole day. It was really nice to be able to sit back, have a glass of wine or three at the reception, and actually taste the food - usually when I shoot a wedding, I have to devour a meal in about 5-10 minutes and get back to work, bypassing my taste buds altogether. But I did get to tag along to Holland Park with the wedding party and the lead photog - a really nice guy named DK, who was gracious enough to let me shoot over his shoulder for an hour and a half. Here's some of the shots I got:

Remember the last post I made? When I mentioned upcoming concerts? Well one of them sadly didn't work out, but the other one did. Begrime Exemious from Edmonton rolled into town bringing with them their standard savage and brutal set. Openers Ancient Obliteration, Chapel, and Bone Chalice all set the tone for the evening: heavy and loud. The show was at the Anza Club, a venue I'd never been to before, so I had no idea what to expect. The lighting was poor (although it was better than Funky Winkerbeans I'll give it that) and so I had to pop my flash for the whole evening. Luckily the venue had a white drop panel ceiling, so I was able to get some pretty nice bounce lighting. I also played around with a bit of off-camera slave lighting too, but nothing serious. Here's a few shots:

Another wedding to come next month, and more concert photos to come soon.
And with that I'll take my leave.
