Lindsey & Mark - June 23rd, 2007 - Port Perry

Port Perry has never looked so good. We had an amazing time!

Kristy & Jason - June 16th, 2007 - Deer Creek

A whole lot of crying going on, but at the end of the day everyone was smiling. It was a great day and we had lots of fun! Isn't that what it's all about? Oh yeah, and great photos!

As you can see our Deer Creek Interpretation is a little different. That's what we're all about. A great mix of everything.

Shannon & Denny - May 20th, 2007 - Viamede Resort Stoney Lake

Shannon & Denny

May 20th, 2007

We were up at Viamede Resort on Stoney Lake shooting Shannon and Denny's wedding. What a great day and as you can see we had a great time. People were just amazed at our work and what we got the wedding party to do! It's not just taking great pictures, it's composing them. Even the owner said he'd never seen photos like this.

Gallery

I was down in Florida this past March working on some more photos to add to our gallery. This is something new we're going to offer in our store. Gallery photographs you can purchase matted and framed for your own home decor. A lot of people over the years from teaching to portraits and weddings that have seen my work and have asked if it's possible to purchase these images. Now we have set up a gallery as part of our studio. You can purchase prints by myself or up-and-coming photographers. We are building up quite a collection. Prints are available in any size and the cost varies. This is a great opportunity to have some original artwork up on your wall. Here's just a few examples from my March trip. Drop into the store and take a better look at the images that are available. Some of these photographs will be one of a kind and some numbered prints.

It was great to see everyone at the Toronto, Pickering, and Oshawa weddding shows. We had a great response and are almost fully booked for the year. There are still dates open for 2007, and we're filling up fast for next year. The great news is after talking to all the major halls in the area, Four Seasons, Deer Creek, Royal Ashburn etc, we are the #1 photographers. Hmm... I wonder why? There must be a reason for this. I guess it's mainly because we do a great job and can be trusted. I guess after 25 years in Pickering and Ajax it must mean something to all our clients. If you haven't booked your wedding yet come and see us. You'll be amazed by our work and affordability!

Weddings and Portraits

We had a great Christmas for shooting portraits last year. I was told people laughed and cried as they opened their gifts and found one of our portraits. It's great knowing how much joy I've brought to the many people who received our photos for Christmas.

Our Wedding year is almost fully booked and I can't wait until the season gets underway. I got all great responses last year, one in particular from Claudia and Nizam:

"Chuck and Everyone at Pickering Photo,

Thank You for the amazing work you did with our wedding photos and video. The shots you took were spectacular and the summary video has everyone talking."

Movie Shoots

I shot the backgounds for The Good Shepherd last year in New York. The Movie was finally released this Christmas. I hope you had a chance to see it, if not it will soon be out on video. I shot the night and day backgrounds for the main character's (Matt Damon) residence in New York. Due to the restrictions of shooting times in the Hamptons the house had to be recreated in the studio and they used my backgrounds through the windows. If you look out the windows of the house (in the movie) you will see my backgrounds.

Some of the other projects I have worked on since "The Good Shepherd" are the upcoming movie with Dustin Hoffman "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" which will be out soon, as well as three other Canadian productions:

• Billable Hours
• The Office
• Blood Lines
