About Kevin

Wedding Photography – Kevin’s Philosophy

Wedding photography is a form of story telling that demands particulars like preparedness, planning, and follow-through. On the other side, it requires things that can’t be quantified – like one’s love of people, a sense of humour, and anticipation of great moments that can never be repeated. 

My goal has always been to create images with staying power. There is little disputing that if a picture makes you smile, it has done its job or if a picture brings you to tears, it will remain etched in your memory for a long time.

My friends often describe me as one who likes to “Take it to the limit”, one who is “bit crazy” and “definitely unusual”. I consider all of these things to be truthful compliments. As a bit of a rebel, I tend to skirt the fringes of the “normal” and strive to present thoughts and ideas that are outside the box. At the same time, however, I enjoy working cooperatively – blending my ideas with those of clients, colleagues and friends. I’d consider myself to be a thoughtful person – mindful of others and respectful of differing philosophies.

From Art School to Photojournalistic Wedding Photographer

After studying Fine Arts at the University of Calgary and Commercial Photography at the Alberta College of Art from 1986 to 1989, my career shaped up to blend photojournalism with the arts. I have now been enjoying working as a wedding photographer and a freelance photojournalist for over 20 years in Penticton, Kelowna, the Okanagan Valley, Canada and abroad.
