As many of you know, especially those who are planning their wedding this year or the next,  Quebec’s largest bridal show; the Marions-Nous show was held last weekend here in Montreal. Many of you may have even met me at the Beautifoto wedding photography booth there. Long story short, the magazine associated with the show which is in it’s own right also one of, if not the most popular bridal magazine/guide in Montreal. Well, if you flip through the pages, you will notice that a lot of the editorial photos used in this issue are non other than Beautifoto’s. Quite a few of them in fact are used in large format too. Wow, I am so flattered and humbled by that. This pushes me to continue to innovate and to think of yet more creative ways to stand out from the rest.

I’ve chosen a few of those images from the magazine to share with you here:

And of course there’s the Beautifoto ad page :

So far 2012 is starting on a good note.

I was very excited to submit my photos in this competition in which the world’s premier international wedding photographers compete and showcase their work. Being the first contest I’ve ever joined, I was very happy to have 3 photos win prominent positions in 3 different categories:

I shot this image at a Jewish wedding during the Hora portion of the evening. This photo came in at the 19th place in the Decisive Moment Category:

This photo was captured during this bride’s trash-the-dress photo session which took place about a month after her wedding. This image came in at the 11th place in the Bride Portrait category:

When I met this groom, he asked me to not take pictures of him and the ushers getting ready in the morning, and instead he wanted me to capture him and his buddies playing poker. After rearranging the furniture a little, I asked him to take his shirt off as if he was loosing his shirt. He did so gladly and the photo took on a whole new meaning. This image came in at the 3rd place in the Pure Art category:

Well, it was an honor to have my work recognized among some of the best wedding photographers and photojournalists from all over the world. I can’t wait to participate in this contest again in the near future.

As usual, any comments are greatly appreciated!

This moment probably lasted only a split second, but I’m very happy to have been able to capture it. Kim and Giorgio were on their way out of the church as husband and wife.
