Sailing + TTD inspiration

Posted on Thursday, March 1st, 2012

Those that follow this blog know of our Trash the dress sessions from this perspective. If you’re new to this blog then have a look at Erin’s TTD, my first TTD shoot on a yacht. Liz loved the idea to and her images are here.

For fun Seumas got me into the harness and up I went. Here’s a quick snap from that day I feel reconnected and inspired.

Sailing into 2013

Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Not many people know this but Seumas’s nomadic lifestyle as a yachtsman is a good forecast to my availability as a photographer. Luckily, for all of us, the yacht is here for the Caribbean season so i’m on island shooting weddings. What happens next year when the yacht is based in Europe for 2013? We haven’t decided. There is a high possibility that during our busiest months In Anitgua, I will fly back and forth. Thank you all for your 2013 inquiries we are putting together a schedule. What month are you getting married? Feel free to let us know.

In the meantime, enjoy the view from Seumas’s world.

Sailing Adventures

Seumas is sailing south to Antigua. His daily email reports of various weather conditions “rough seas and high winds overnight but nothing to severe. This evening calms to no wind and motoring again”. The last track shows his position to be south of Bermuda and half way to Antigua.

I love this time of year in Antigua. English Harbour is alive and filled with Mega Yachts, our friends and family.

I snapped this image August this year during our delivery to Nova Scotia, Canada. Always a happy man at sea.

St.Kitts Wedding. Beach House Restaurant. Sonya + David

Posted on Friday, October 21st, 2011

St.Kitts is roughly 60 miles from Antigua just a short plane ride away. Last year, Sonya contacted me from Toronto to shoot her wedding in St.Kitts where she’s originally from.
The Beach House is nestled within the white sands of Turtle Beach and the island of Nevis, on the southeastern side, of the drumstick shaped island.

Sonya thought about every little detail and to date is the most organized bride i’ve ever met!! i was so amazed!!! Her thoughtful ways ensured that everyone was well looked after and the Beach House did an fab job to.

David truly found his perfect soul mate, their love for each other and their families made an emotional and meaningful ceremony. Thank you for asking me to be apart of this beautiful day. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!
