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.

Awards & Publications

My work has been published in Canadian Geographic (an interview with me) and other award winning publications, and exhibited in art galleries throughout the Okanagan Valley, BC and Canada. For details on awards and accolades, please read the “Awards” section.

Sharing the Knowledge

My desire to engage people in the creative process of seeing, led me to teach arts and photography workshops in locations throughout Western Canada.

Ask in-depth Questions

I would recommend that you have a look at "Choosing a Wedding Photographer" for more information about my approach towards wedding photography. This informative section of my web site will help you dig a little deeper, become more inquisitive and will help you ask more in-depth questions of photographers.

I look forward to meeting you and learning about the ideas and challenges your wedding may present. Perhaps I can be part of the creative process during that unique time in your life's history.

Please call or send an email if you have any further questions.
