“A good wedding photograph will reignite the feeling that it records.
It will trigger the other senses;
make you recall the sounds or the smells.
Couples say that the day goes by in a blur,
it’s our role as the photographer to bring things back into focus.”

THOUGHTS ON PHOTOGRAPHY
One of my missions is to increase awareness about 'The Photographer as an Artist'. Like all other Artists, a Photographer has a gift to see things others may not. To have a point of view and a talent for capturing life's moments. The Photographer will unveil the story and give the viewer a narrative. The size of a Photographer's camera or the amount of money they have spent (loans - credit - cash) on their equipment, accessories and toolbox does not always equal magnificent work. What counts is the art; the eye.
I have stood beside wedding guests who are taking snapshots with $10,000 cameras while I create with a $250 compact pro camera or pro mobile phone. I have never been disappointed (nor have my Clients) by the outcome of the images.
As a natural-light, candid, cinematic/documentary style image maker, I promise you my best talent.

I currently shoot with a camera that, in my opinion, is a giant in imagery output. I proudly selected the exceptional Pentax K-1 Mark II. One of my first loves as a teenager was a Pentax 35mm film camera. The love affair continues today.
If you long to be a Photographer but are lacking confidence or are embarrassed by your toolbox, I urge you to get going. Don't wait. Get busy shooting. Photography is a verb. (and an art)
Finding the Light,
Patti

My works of art are visual records
of the adventures that capture
my daydreams and personal landscapes.
I explore my surroundings with a
candid, cinematic and emotional approach.
I live life and photograph it.
I write about it.
The photographic storyboards
coloured in my mind
are filled with questions about
nature, sensuality,
the people of Canada
and its cultural mosaic.
I want the viewer
to experience unexpected,
picturesque chapters
of imagined, meandering
narratives with
a sense of wonder, humor
and playfulness.
Everything is interesting to me.
That’s what I'm
documenting, expressing
writing and archiving.
Peace Love Create Art Gather
Patti
