I have just finished working on the photos from Nick and Elysia’s wedding. I cut it down to 100 keepers which I will send on, and I think they may like some of them.

I also received in the mail yesterday a USB stick with another 600 photos from the wedding photographer. I volunteered to post-process the photos from the day as a wedding present for the happy couple, and here they are. That, guys, is going to take a little longer to work through, but I’ll get to it promptly and have them off as soon as they are finished.

In the meantime, here is a shot I took of the two brothers, Andy and Vyvyan. Andy is quite the challenge for a photographer. As anyone will tell you, the challenge is to try to take a photo he is not in. If he wasn’t so damn photogenic that would be a problem, but he has the knack of making almost any shot look better, even when you can’t actually see the bride in the shot. Because of this unique ability Andy is widely recognised as the most photographed face in Canada, featuring in wedding albums, party photos, cell-phone videos and even, amazingly, other people’s selfies, from coast-to-Canadian-coast, as well as the UK and a large part of Europe. 

An ex rock-god, Andy was for several years a licensed pilot and qualified aviation instructor. I went up with him once in a Cessna and it was an experience I will always remember. Most enjoyable.

Andy is father of Nick (the groom) and Rebecca, and husband to Jean. Andy works and plays hard and in his spare time likes to hang around the pool with friends and family. If you are lucky, he will allow you time to remove electrical equipment from your pockets before throwing you in.

In preparation for daughter Rebecca and Denton’s wedding in August of this year Andy has already started work on growing an ulcer, which he may leverage to good effect for sympathy on the day.
