I don't do weddings. I seem to be saying this allot yet there's always one that pops up. Its time to retire that statement. Congratulations to Cheryl & Dennis for starting a new chapter in their relationship. The ceremony was quaint, people were lovely, the outfits & decor were exquisite ... and it was in a safe environment. ... Why did I shoot another wedding, oh you'll see! Thank you Marc Labreque for being my equal at this event.

Hey gang, looking for a collection of old television sets (preferably 1980's or earlier)...anyone know of a store, vintage electronic shop, junkyard, basement where there's a large collection of these sets collecting dust?

To all my wealthy friends (or know some). I'm looking for an upscale residential groomed backyard for a background set. Preferably with plenty of steel and glass with an inground pool. I have a couple fine art furniture pieces to shoot in the Spring which require an outdoor setting. Only need a couple hours including setup and teardown. Thanks in advance.

Wonderful experience shooting the RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest 'Be in the Band' segment, a music academy program directed by Alan Marsden. These aspiring musicians ...are always a delight to watch their progress year after year. Six years ago Hans had his first taste of stardom on the same stage (just look at him now, starting his own festival); I guess that's part of the reason I like to shoot this venue so much. Here's a quick snippet of my favs from that blistering day. JJWenzel Images #RBCBluesfest #BeintheBand #OttawaMusicScene See more

Day 2 at Red Bull Crashed Ice Ottawa, Canada Very exciting, dressed warmly this time and, with a little encouragement from Claudine, we managed to find prime sp...ots at a one in a lifetime event. Men and Womens speed skate cross racing with some fun inbetween (Goalie racing and a vintage 1920's Ottawa hockey fashion run). Managed to score some great shots too. Wow! Gonna be a great year in entertainment ... Stay-cation is probably a good bet for Ottawa. JJWenzel Images See more

Alright folks...time to move forward. Has anyone seen the recent beautiful job Ottawa has done on rejuvenating the National War Memorial...just in time for Frid...ay's Rememberance Day and next year's 150th celebrations. I took a close look at the incredible sculpture by Vernon March of Farnborough, Kent and was mesmorized by the detail.
