BIG NEWS IS FINALLY HERE!!!

Hi Everyone!

Well I have to tell you that I'm just so excited about this post, because I've been dying to tell you all for so long about our big news....

Our NEW WEBSITE has just launched! I won't spill any beans as I want you to check it out all for yourself, but I will post this pic as a little teaser.



Go and take a look around - let me know what you think!! Comments good or bad and honest critiques are always welcome. I hope you enjoy the new look and feel of the Byron Brydges website as we were so stoked to put it together!

Now, stop wasting your time - go to www.byronbrydges.com to see it for yourself! And don't forget to turn your speakers up...

Virginia & Andrew!

Virginia & Andrew. You may remember this couple from their engagement shots that we did of them from waayyyyy back in the summer. She, with Julia Roberts eyes, and his, Mel Gibsons. If you thought they were a hot couple then...check 'em out on their big day!!!

I love this shot of Andrew's sister as the makeup artist does her lashes! Tasty light.


Something about a bride's expression as she slips into the gown on her wedding day...


Andrew and his posse!


Let me prelude this by saying that normally I don't do this type of shot as I find it a little on the cheesy side, but on their day I thought what the heck. I told Andrew I wanted to do it and I believe his words were "Nooooo....". Generally, I share his sentiment.
Looking back, I'm glad we did it.

His expression cracks me up every time I look this. Not to mention the hang time!

A shot during the vows.


Virginia with her Mom and sisters. They are all so close.


Maureen's fave of the day. Can't say I blame her...!


Hollywood!


OK. The bride. How hot is she...?!


Love this perspective. So sweet.


They're bringing sexy back!!!


And my shot from the front.


Bride and Groom. Need I say more? We took this at the Experimental Farms, in Ottawa. Quite close to the old observatory.


Funkay!


One of my faves.


How lucky am I to shoot the engagement AND wedding?!

Next I expect maternity, infant, family, anniversary... :)

Photo of the Month - October!

Being that it's fall in the Great White North, we must celebrate! And what better way to do that than honouring Mother Nature by giving her the PoM photo. She deserves it!

This is the view from our front window.



As Canadians, we fully accept that there are 2 seasons here - this winter and last winter.

Hey-OOOOOO!

Amy & Brian!

We drove to Montreal to shoot Amy and Brian's wedding. They had their pictures taken on the McGill University campus and then were later married in the same lovely church that the groom's parents were married.

This is now on our 'all-time favourite church shots' list!


They had agreed not to see one another until they got to McGill to shoot. It was a wonderful moment that we all got to take part in. I love Brian's expression as Amy walks up behind him...


They got each other gifts. She got him a new watch (I too am a watch fanatic!!) and she received a beautiful pearl necklace. Here he is about to put it on her.


Maureen got this shot of the girls. I think the expressions on each of them is just perfect!


And while she was shooting the girls, I was off with the guys. Here is my fave of them!


Amy is such an expressive girl. She has a beautiful, happy smile and you can't help but smile yourself!


I don't think Brian stopped smiling all day. Especially when he looked at Amy.


See what I mean!?


We love our sun flare! Pizzazz!


McGill has some great old stone pillars and steps. We had to use them. This is Mo's fave!






PERFECTION! We love this shot...


The very happy and very photogenic bride and groom!


Awesome couple!
Awesome day!
Awesome shoot!

You guys are...well...awesome!

Pic of BB in action!

So...here's what I look like when shooting. Not pretty, but it gets the job done!



This was taken by a couple who attended a recent wedding we shot. They are looking to start their own wedding biz in Montreal and are off to a good start! When they send me a website, I'll post the link.
