I Just got back from a shoot in Prince Rupert, BC. Both the scenery, and unfortunately, the amount of rainfall were stunning.

Here are a few highlights from Al and Allison's beautiful and intimate wedding. It was an honor to be part of this special day.

Brides take note - cage veils are awesome.

Chantal and Michael - An autumn engagement shoot

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:21:00 +0000

This day was equal parts adventure and photo shoot. Chantal and Michael picked me, and we drove out to Chantal's parent's cottage. From there, we took two ATV's(!!) to an abandoned mine! As if things weren't good enough already, after a fantastic shoot, Chantal's parents fed us a tasty brunch before we headed back into the city. All in all, a pretty good day ;)

See that little white dot near the upper right corner of the image? That's them.... trust me.

We got a little wet during Melanie and Kevin's shoot, but clouds made for great light and one heck of a dramatic sky:

Shannon and John's Engagement Shoot

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 19:22:00 +0000

Shannon, John and I took a little stroll through the arboretum a little while back to take their engagement shots. I'm pretty sure I ended up with more images of their pooch than anything else!

Katie and Allan's Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:01:00 +0000

A couple weeks ago I posted some images from Katie and Allan's "engagement" shoot. Now we come to the main event! The ceremony was at Blessed Sacrament, in the Glebe, and the reception at Luxe Bistro, in the Market. The light was pretty much perfect all day, which made for one happy photographer.

Special thanks to Aaron and his team from Starfish, for handling all the details, and making the day go off perfectly.

Family Shoot

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:45:00 +0000

I had a fun little family shoot last week and thought I would share a few favourites:

Katie and Alan - E-shoot

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:30:00 +0000

Katie and Alan are getting married on Saturday, so it seems a little silly to call this an engagement shoot. I think "couples" shoot would be more appropriate. Either way, it was a great warm up for this weekend.

Emily and Abraham

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:13:00 +0000

Here are a few of my favourite images from Emily and Abraham's wedding at St. Elias church, and Sala San Marco.

Here are a few images from Chantal and Serge's wedding at the Bean Town Ranch. Chantal was positively beaming the entire day!

Daniel Alfredsson Photoshoot

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:13:00 +0000

A little while back I had shoot with Ottawa Senators captain, Daniel Alfredsson, for the soccer mag Kick About Ottawa. Apparently he was an exceptional soccer player before deciding to focus 100% on hockey. The photos go with a great interview about his past, and his take on sports culture here, and back in his home country of Sweden.

I have to say I was really impressed by how nice and down to earth he was. The shoot was a lot of fun... if a little nerve-wracking.

Kim and Dave

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Tue, 26 May 2009 18:43:00 +0000

Kim and Dave were married at Dominion Chalmers church, which has one of the nicest interiors in Ottawa. The weather was a tad uncooperative, but thanks to a bit of luck, and a brave bride, the day went off without a hitch, and we got got some great shots.

Special thanks to Liz and Vanessa from Bridal Solutions for keeping everything organized and on track!

A quick note about the next photo - this was Dave's reaction to Kim giving him a cheque for a new motorcycle.... he was pretty happy about it ;)

TC shoot in Halifax

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Mon, 18 May 2009 21:10:00 +0000

Last week my good friends at Transport Canada sent me out east to photograph the ports and infrastructure in and around Halifax. Three days and two helicopter trips later, I came away with some really neat shots.

The main purpose of the trip was to photograph Halifax's two major ports. We had access to a Coast Guard helicopter which not only flew us around the ports, and the city, but out to Peggy's Cove as well. The pilot's were great, and were all for pulling aggressive turns so I could shoot straight down. You would think it would be unnerving considering the chopper doors were pinned open, but we were turning so hard, the centripetal force had us pinned into our seats, making it strangely calm.

After the helicopter trips, it was off to shoot the ports from the ground. Here are a couple shots of the huge gantry cranes they use to load and unload the ships. We were allowed to take an elevator up to the top of the crane and walk around. You wouldn't think it, but those things shake and blow around like crazy. Being up on those steel walkways was far more unsettling than hanging out of a helicopter at 1000 ft.

Peggy's Cove:

Stay tuned for some epic wedding shots.

Stefany and Yves

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Geddes) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:40:00 +0000

I took advantage of the beautiful weather to do a couples shoot with Stefany and Yves, around the Museum of Civilization. We found some amazing evening light. Here are some favourites:
