Dan + Adrian photographed Julia + Kyle’s Wedding, which is a double blog post on the blog.

Love this exchange below with her Father.

 

In the month we talked about joining with some other Toronto Wedding Professionals and doing a contest with them. We are giving away a photography worth over $5,000 to a lucky couple who wins from Brett + Doug.

We also blogged about our first shoot for the Samuel Kleinberg Jewellery Promo. Emily + Eric shot with Doug downtown Toronto on a very cold day.

While downtown that day, Doug met up with Amanda + Jason who booked him for their wedding in 2011 and they took some time to shoot with Doug a bit.

After this couple, Doug also shot Michelle + Martin who also booked Doug for their wedding in 2011.

Sam photographed a wedding for Manisha + Neil. Also posted is some engagement shots between them.

Sam also photographed the wedding of Monica + Raymond.

We also brought on board Aaron to the Blue Six Creative Team.

Aaron has had over 6 years experience in the photography industry. Over the last few years he has brought his strengths to documentary and photojournalism work.

Aaron’s worked for Canada’s largest newspapers and his images have been published internationally garnering awards from National Geographic, New York Photo Festival, American Photography and the News Photographers Association of Canada.

Each year he shoots only a limited number of weddings for clients who appreciate his documentary approach and eye for light. Aaron believes the greatest images are when the right light and the right moment come together in that miraculous way.

Adrian photographed the wedding of Sophie + Dominic.

Adrian also photographed Becky + Tyler a couple of months back and we blogged about it in Dec.

We ended up the year with offering a great promo of Winter Engagement Shoots for $90. Can’t beat that!

With that… 2010 draws to a close.  Please take the time to look at the months below and don’t forget to click the link to move even farther back on the blog!

We are so looking forward to 2011!

Regards,  Jason and all the photographers from Blue Six Creative

Here are the images that Brett photographed as the evening went down for their wedding.

Love this shot below of Carley after the kiss. You can tell she is excited about being married!

Brett photographed Fashion Week and here is a show from Romona Keveza.

We posted a neat video of what life would be like in England if a big soccer match fell on Valentines Day.

Sam had a busy summer and he sent us a whack of images to post on the blog that he photographed.  One couple was Amanda + Justin who spent time with Sam to shoot some engagements in Toronto.

Dan + Rob photographed the wedding between Jessica + George.  (seen below)

Brett photographed the wedding of Erica + James at the Old Mill in Toronto.  (seen below)

Dan + Adrian photographed a cool wedding for Liisa + Kevin.  (seen below)

We are going to take some of the November posts and add them to the December Review.

Dan + Rob photographed the wedding between Carly + Derek.  While scouting out the area the day before, we discovered a cool abandoned farm to explore with both of them and they were up for it.

We created a Tumblr site.  Tumblr is new to us but lots of inspiring things on there.  We love to repost things that we see on there.  It also collects our tweets as well as our blog posts.

Adrian photographed the wedding of Mariela + John up in the Kwaratha Lakes.

Adrian booked Katie + Raymond for their wedding in 2011.  While they got together to meet up, they shot some shots of them as a couple in the Rouge River Valley.

One of our weddings was featured on Bow Ties + Bliss and we are also listed on the site.

In October we launched our new Blog, which is what you see right now.  We took most of the things from the website and added it to the blog so it’s more of a one stop shop.  Our galleries are listed on our old website.

Adrian + Doug photographed a wedding for Susan + Andrew at Parkwood Estates in Oshawa.

We posted another video by Still-Motion that we adore.  Very inspiring, so if you have a moment… check it out.

Next up is November!

Dan photographed a wedding (below ) for Kim + Will at the Lake House in Pickering.  The blog post for their wedding is a double-blog post with the images having a bit of a “vintage feel”.

Will asked the Chief if he could borrow his vintage car and we took it for a quick spin.

Adrian + Doug photographed (below) a wedding for Corrie + Mike up in Lindsay.

Every Year we photograph Families in the Fall in September or October.  Here is a shoot we did for one family.  As well as another post with shots from a couple of families.  Below is some shots from the sessions.  Email us if you want to be put on a short list for shots next Fall.
