The Zurichian's

Zurichian's Kelly and Cam aren't your run-of-the-mill bride and groom. Where we North American's plan and hope for a magnificently sunny wedding day, Kelly and Cam had resigned themselves, well in advance, to an inclement day. With a ceremony scheduled for five O'clock in September (perfect light) the prospect of being indoors teetered on frustrating for me – photographers rarely get this opportunity. One should never question the Swiss in matters concerning anything cyclical, weather or otherwise (watchmakers). Sure enough, rain, wind, and unseasonably low temperatures ensued, but nothing was going to frustrate the beauty and romance of this day. The Gananoque Inn, run by Noni Keilty (Kelly's Aunt), was impeccably decorated, the dinning room provided an elegant ambiance, and the reception hall houses an exceptional crystal chandelier. Congrats Norman & Slade, another successful adventure for the books.

Shooting Prince William at Summerhill Farms

When I first met Cam, in McDonald's, I was overcome by the feeling that I had met him before...that I some how knew him. Uncertain as to the circumstance under which we may, or may not have, met I kept this to myself. During the engagement shoot my curiosity got the better of me, and I succumbed to the ever present nag of phantom familiarity: "okay Cam, have we met before?" When Melissa chimed in, "Prince William! He looks like Prince William." How embarrassing, my closet obsession with Hello magazine was out in the open! Prince William Windsor of Wales has apparently occupied so much of my attention that I feel as if I know him personally, something I projected onto Cam due to his uncanny resemblance. The lesson being, your guilty pleasures are bound to rear their ugly heads at some point. The question is when?
