My Story
I have always had a passion for photography. When I was a "rug rat", dad used to send my brother and I into the closet to look directly at his flash and fire the camera. This could be the reason I require glasses but who really knows. We used to have chocolate popcorn and movie night in our living room. Mom & dad would pull out the slide projector and we would look at stills up on the wall. Now that I think about it... we should be getting royalties for creating the first big screen TV! My brother and I would fight over who got to change the 35mm slides. Many years later we got a carousel for the slides and then we would use the wired remote! We were cutting edge let me tell you! I still remember how excited we would get when he would come home with a new case of 35mm slides in a box. We would sit around looking at the cut out negative film surrounded by a white cardboard square holding it up to the kitchen light or go over to the window to view them. How times have changed!
In 2008 I decided to make a career change. I had spent the last 10 years working in the I.T. industry and found myself as a computer consultant for an Oil & Gas company in Calgary. It wasn't that it was a bad job... in fact... it was great. It was exactly what I had always wanted and worked towards. I was living the life I had always wanted. Working and living in downtown Calgary. I had a great little executive style condo 3 blocks from work over looking the Bow River. I owned a beautiful black 330i BMW and parked right beside it was a sliver Ducati ST3 motorcycle. Heading into BC for a bike trip twice a year was so much fun. Life was good to say the least. But yet... something was missing?!?!
Maybe it was a mid life crisis? Maybe it was too many self hypnosis DVDs late at night? Who is to say? The decision had come to change careers and head to Mexico to start a wedding photography company, I felt my life starting all over again! Making plans to get the company started. Looking for a place to live. Working on my own photography skills. Taking classes and capturing more and more pictures. Job shadowing other photographers and finally starting to shoot weddings! It all seemed so surreal and happening so fast. The plan was to move to Mexico in 2010. Things became fast tracked as the website had generated 30 bookings in Mexico before even making the move. A quick garage sale was scheduled and I sold everything for a dime on the dollar. Traded in the BMW and Ducati for a 97 Astro Van and in March of 2009, was headed south!
All that being said... I have not looked back since! Life has been very good to me again down here in Playa del Carmen Mexico. Business continues to be fantastic and I continue to strive to become a better and better photographer with every shoot. I love meeting new people from around the world and having the privilege of recording their day! Maybe, when they get home they will sit down with the kids in front of the big screen TV, grab a bowl of popcorn and relive the moments of their life like I did some 30 years ago! If you need the recipe for Chocolate Popcorn... send me an email... just don't tell my family where you got it!
I look forward to meeting you someday... if not to shoot your wedding, drop me a line if you are in Playa del Carmen Mexico! I'd love to meet you for a drink and practice my English! haha.
