This past June, I joined a group of seasoned fishermen from our church for a long weekend at Shoal Lake, Manitoba. It was my first trip with any group from our church (we’re fairly new still) and it was the first time I’d been fishing since I was maybe six years old.
So to sum it up, I was more photographer than fisherman that weekend.
But it was an amazing opportunity to get away from cell coverage, to get away from the craziness of everyday life, and even to get away from electrical power in some spots.

I imagine one of the most pressure-packed jobs on the planet (not really, but go with it) is to shoot a wedding. Worse still would be having to shoot a wedding where the bride and groom (and their wedding parties!) are photographers themselves.
Such was the case for Adam and Rianna of Wolf Photography back in August at my friend Marius’s wedding. Due to the caliber of their work and professionalism, everything appeared to go off without a hitch.
You can always bet that a photographer couple will choose the best photography crew they can find for their wedding, and I imagine this is the ultimate compliment you can pay Adam and Rianna. But if you need some reassurance of the Wolf Photography’s skill, head over to their portfolio page. Although all of their work stands out, this gallery and this gallery are my favourites.
If you’re in the Toronto area and are looking for a wedding photographer, this husband-and-wife duo are worth your money.
Update: I just got a chance to look at Marius’s wedding photos and they are absolutely stunning. I’ll surely allow Marius and his darling wife to show them off first — once they do, you’ll have to pick your jaw off the floor.
It’s funny — my credit card gets hit with a bunch of annual blog-related subscriptions during November and December each year. Squarespace and Hoefler’s cloud photography subscription both hit, as well as all my domain renewals. Historically then, this is the most creative time of the year for me.
2019 appears to be no different. I’ve discontinued my Squarespace site in favour of Adobe’s own Portfolio service. If you’re an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber, you have Portfolio access built into your subscription. Unlimited pages, unlimited galleries, and direct Lightroom integration make it a near no-brainer portfolio platform, and I’m especially fond of the ability to create individual pages rather than have less-controllable galleries.
My transition over to Portfolio is a big work-in-progress, but I figured I’d give it a shout-out after adding a few of these photos earlier today:
If you’re looking to cut down on subscription overload and if you use Squarespace as a portfolio platform like I was, I couldn’t recommend Adobe Portfolio enough. It comes with your obligatory Adobe subscription and the built-in features make it super easy to use. Squarespace is an awesome platform, but it was too expensive for my minimal needs.
