Personal | Vancouver | Fujifilm X100S

Two weeks ago I was in Vancouver for the Canada Photo Convention and knowing I was going to be there with a bunch of other photographers I found myself in a dilemma of what gear to bring.

Do I bring some of my wedding gear, Nikon D4 and a prime or two or do I just bring something small. I was planning to do a lot of walking in Vancouver and not wanting to lug heavy gear all the way from Toronto I decided to save my back and brought my Fujifilm X100S.

For me the Fuji X100S is the perfect travel camera if you are not specifically there to shoot something. It gives you the image quality of an professional DSLR system but it’s compact and unobtrusive. What more can you really ask for?

Below are some of my favorite frames from my walks around downtown Vancouver.

Toronto Wedding | Elissa & Rick

I’m writing this from my hotel room in Vancouver, sick but excited to be here for the Canada Photo Convention. It is Canadian in every sense, run by a Canadian and takes place in Canada but a more accurate name would be the World Wedding Photographer Convention. The speakers, some of the best in the industry are from all over the world. Jonas Peterson and Samm Blake are from Australia, Jeff Newsom is from California, Fer Juaristi from Mexico and several others.

So before this week’s festivities start I wanted to post the follow up to Elissa and Rick’s sneak peek.

I met Elissa and Rick by chance over the Christmas holidays. They were at our house with mutual friends who were visiting from Australia and mentioned that they were headed to Scotland in a week to get married. Well hey congratulations I said and then they mentioned they were also having a second wedding in Toronto. Naturally I asked who was shooting their wedding and they said they don’t have a photographer yet. “I’m available”….and that was that.
