Wedding Polaroids
I grabbed a Fuji Max Instant Camera before the wedding. I love the polaroid pictures they make. I was worried I would forget about it on the day or lose it, but neither happened. I left it on the tables and took pictures all night when the dancing was begun. The picture I found in the morning when I awoke were some of the most hilarious and heart-warming pictures I'd ever held in my hands. It was one of the best investments I made for the wedding. Enjoy.

Working at Riot Fest 2014 was one of the most rewarding, inspiring, exciting and just plain ol' fun days from 2014. Running from stage to stage, setting up on the fly social media contesting, photographing some amazing bands and just simply hanging out with some of the best people. The mud soaked fields of Downsview Park were no match for our dedicated crew. Working at the festival is such a different experience than attending them but nonetheless, in those few moments of downtime I soaked in every second of those incredible performances. Here are some of my favourite shots from the weekend.

The Summer of Music
Over the course of this past summer, I had the pleasure of working with my 102.1 the Edge team members at Edgefest 2014. Throughout long days, hot and cold weather and insane 20-year-olds, it was still impossibly fun time to get to hang out with fun people and work on such an exciting event. Highlights from those summer days include meeting old music idols, long rainy nights in hilarious ponchos, cold pizza and warm sushi, incredible performances by some fantastic bands, amazing food truck fare and all around good time with great new friends. Work is work but when you are surrounded by the best people, it's a pleasure to be there :)

A Beautiful Moment
I've been away. For many reasons. I want to come back. For many reasons. But in the mean time I wanted to share with you one of the most wonderful moments in my life thus far. I got to watch two of my best friends marry each other this past weekend. They've been together for now over ten years and it meant so much to me to see them tie the knot. The joy their friendship has brought me is immeasurable and getting to be there on their special day was a memory I'll never forget.
