Phillip + Dianne | Wedding @ Edgewater Manor

Jeremy Curry — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 02:17:05 +0000

Some may wonder what happened to me, but yes, I’m still around doing photography. I’ll keep my explanation brief, there are some great photos I want to to share! I started working full time at City Kidz, a local non-profit I had been working for part-time. I just felt it was right for this season of my life; with that and some other new responsibilities, it has just been difficult to stay on top of all my photography work; the website hasn’t been the top of my list, so please forgive me for my lack of updates.

But that hasn’t stopped me – since my last post, I have been published a couple of times, and have shot a wedding and some family portraits too! I will try and share all, but first allow me to share some of my favourite photos from Phillip and Dianne’s wedding. A great couple, they kept things simple and intimate at the lovely Edgewater Manor in January.

Here are a few shots of Dianne on the couch in their lovely new home. I just loved how these shots came out.

And here is the Edgewater Manor, right on Lake Ontario in Stoney Creek. I had never heard of it before this wedding, but it was a beautiful little place. Great choice!

Phillip thought it would be a good idea to re-enact his proposal, and I wasn’t going to stop him! Very sweet Phil.

The Edgewater had a shed out in the back, and I promised myself I would make use of it. I was pleasantly surprised when I loaded this shot came up on my computer monitor. I think the simplicity of the backdrop just makes the rest of the shot pop.

It was very romantic to see them dancing around on the back landing here, what a great scene!

I have had such a lovely time working with Phillip and Dianne, best wishes guys!

Video Vednesday: The Fun Theory

Volkswagon has come out with a new campaign, “The Fun Theory,” demonstrating that making usually daunting chores “fun” can improve general participation. Here are a few YouTube video demonstrations. The Bottle Bank is my Favourite!

The World’s Deepest Bin

The Bottle Bank

Piano Stairs

Great Idea, and I think it definitely shows both that Fun can improve behaviour, and that those terrible tasks don’t have to be so bad, if we just re-think them. I wish Volkswagon could make some of my chores more fun! Any ideas on how to make your chores more fun?

Video Vednesday: Cubin’ with Schneck

Jeremy Curry — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:00:03 +0000

Man, I love to solve me a Rubik’s Cube every once in a while, something I learned how to do while I was at Bible School in England a couple years back now. So, I thought I’d share with you the secret to solving a Rubik’s cube in this short, yet insightful video, presented by Relient K’s Jonathan Schneck.

Jaimi + Jeff

Jeremy Curry — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:00:35 +0000

I took some photography with Jaimi and Jeff a few weeks ago. We started outside at a park nearby, and worked our way into my friend’s studio! It was a great time. These are some of my favourites from the shoot.

These people love their dog Amos, I’m not sure if any photo could ever express.

Once we got into the studio, we spent a few minutes shooting around the building before we got in front of the backdrop. I love this old school elevator that was available.

This is the first time I’ve put a couple in front of the backdrop with a whole flash set up, but Jeff and Jaimi were great and made the whole thing a wonderful experience.

Thanks a bunch guys, it was a blast!

Video Vednesday: Lip Dub – Tambureddu

Jeremy Curry — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:00:00 +0000

I’m trying to post regularly, so one of the things I will be doing is posting a favourite video from the Internet every Wednesday — thus calling Video Vednesday.

Here’s a favourite from a while back, but I’m not sure too many have seen it. Hope you like it like I do. I especially like the nasal flare the guy does at the end.

Trisha + Dave’s Wedding

Jeremy Curry — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:01:42 +0000

I was Claire’s assistant this weekend at Trisha and Dave’s wedding in St. Catherine’s. I have to say this wedding was pretty great, they left lots of room for photography, and everything was just very easy going! Trisha and Dave were simply great to work with, up for anything, and their bridal party was lots of fun too! Thanks again Claire for bringing me along on this one! Hope you guys enjoy the photos!

While I was at the Cottage

Jeremy Curry — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:52:28 +0000

So I’m swamped with work and what not, even in my spare time it seems, so I haven’t been able to get to the photos I want to put up. So I went through and found a few already edited photos from while I was away at the Cottage this summer. These photos come stylistically from my photos of the water fountain at Gore Park in Hamilton, though here you will notice I’ve started to decrease the harsh contrast look that previously made my photos distinct. If you’re clever enough, you may find these two experiments in photo editing have really shaped the editing process of my most recent works. Very very different I think from what I’ve done in the past, and most certainly not for everyone, or even every photo. But, I think, very important in the evolution of my style — and also very fun! Hope you enjoy!

P.S. Let me know what you think! Do you like where my new style is headed? Or do you think I’m crazy, and should stay closer to my roots stylistically?

Sammy & His Family

Jeremy Curry — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:00:41 +0000

Last week I got to take photos of a beautiful young baby named Sammy, and his beautiful family, Carley, Nate and Jax. They are great friends, and not only do I love to spend time with them, I love to take their photos! The day started out a bit bumpy, as the schedule changed a few times, and little Sammy didn’t get his usual nap. But we all crammed into the car, went to the park and we took all the pictures we could until little Sammy could avoid a nap no longer. In the short time we were able to shoot, I am very pleased with the photos we put together, and excited to do some more in the near future. Here are some of my favourites from the day.

Can you say key-ute?

This boy loves his ball.

Sam loves my camera.

Boy, Mom know’s how to make Sammy happy. Despite much effort, I can never get this reaction from this little guy… I continue to try.

Sammy can’t walk on his own yet, but he’s learning — I really love this shot.

Jax was a little camera shy initially, but once she got warmed up, she was a natural. Here are but a few I got of her.

Here’s a face Sammy has been making a lot lately — I can never tell if He’s trying to smile and display happiness, or if he’s pooping… I’m sure sometime’s it could be both.

I wasn’t sure how things were going to work out with the last minute adjustments, but this family made it easy to take beautiful pictures. Thanks a lot guys!
