Zack & Amanda, Lethbridge Grad Photos

Tanya — Sun, 30 May 2010 20:59:17 +0000

The weather may have forced us inside, but I had a great time taking graduation photos with Zack and Amanda, as well as Zack’s mom and dad. Zack has exceptional taste, as is evident by his white tux, and Amanda’s tastes are quite outstanding as well with the choice of her gorgeous sparkley blue dress. What a good looking couple :)

JPS Trio video shoot

As you can see, I am still catching up on a few things! Back in December the JPS Trio invited all their fans out to Henotic to take part in the filming of their first music video, done by the multi-talented Dan Berdusco of Lethbridge Link. The cameras stayed rolling all night while the crowd danced to to the band’s energetic set of originals and a few funky covers. The band is hoping to get this video onto MuchMusic, so wish them luck!

Dan Berdusco opened the show…

Planet Telex followed Dan

And then the JPS Trio

Even as someone who can do the “Elvis-snarl”, I can’t comprehend how Johnpaul does this with his lips…

The JPS Trio

I’m a little late on posting these, but last month I did some band shots for the JPS Trio. I wanted to include in this post that they were filming a video at Henotic tonight, but sadly it was canceled due to one member catching “that thing that’s going around.” Ugh oh!

Mike

This weekend I somehow managed to sneak in some time to shoot my co-worker Mike, who found some cool b&w shots of Lebron James he wanted to emulate… and has a girl he wants to impress and send some photos to :)

Brad

Last weekend I second shot a wedding for Michael Warf in Calgary, and it gave me a chance to spend the next day with my friend Brad who will be moving to Vancouver soon. Brad is an actor and a crazy fun to hang out with, and I just had to do one more shoot with him before he heads West. We hit up Inglewood, and only slightly got in the way of a wedding party (and many pigeons).

And thanks to fancy technologies like self-timer, here are the two of us!

Bears In Human Suits and The Luna Riot

These photos are going a ways back… and by that I mean they were taken in February! I’ve been in bed this week with pneumonia, and just couldn’t wait until the wedding this weekend to post photos, but since going and shooting for fun this week wasn’t an option, I’m starting to dig through personal photos I’ve been neglecting.

This show was at Slice, and local goodies Bears in Human Suits opened up, followed by The Luna Riot. The Luna Riot is one of many bands my friend Patrick (the bass player, in this case) has been in, and it’s always a treat having him come up from Vancouver to play here.

Excuse the graininess :)
