Oakville Wedding, Engagement and Portrait Photography by Mike Clarke bio picture

Hello,

I get asked a lot, "Why wedding photography?"

In the past 10 years, there has been such an advancement in photography since the digital era. It's hard to choose which path is right for you.

Do I want to shoot lions for National Geographic, Girls on the beach for Sports Illustrated or models for the cover of Shape. Sure, any of those would be fun... just not for me.

I love weddings because it gives me a a lot of freedom to be creative. It's also very exciting, I know I have seconds to take that special shot, or it's gone forever. I can't ask everyone to pick up the rice, and lets try take 2.

I also love to interact and meet new people. To me, working with people is the best. A landscape doesn't show emotion like the first kiss does. 

My goal is for you to look back on your pictures years later and know instantly why you were laughing, or what you were thinking about right before you smushed cake into each-others faces.

Miranda + Hans – B&W Engagement

Deep down I have this love for black and white photo’s. With no colour to distract you from the subject, you spend more time looking at the expressions and mood of the image. I quite enjoy these and think I will post more black and white from now on.

Liz + Bori – Trash The Dress

I guess after the engagement photo’s and wedding shots, they loved being in front of the camera so much they just needed another photo shoot. I really can’t say enough about Liz and Bori, by far the best clients I’ve had. So much fun and I can’t believe how much of a trooper Liz was...

Family Portraits – Alison + Carlos + Tiago

Here’s something that’s a little different for me, I don’t usually do family portraits. Not that I don’t want to, I just don’t get asked very often. Alison and Carlos were referred to me by Aleksandra and Steve (Look for their engagement photo’s soon). I have to say, I think shooting with younger kids is...
