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.

Oh-So-Sparkly

There is something about ring shots that mess with my mind… in a good way. I follow a few blogs and with every engagement session or wedding there is always that “gorgeous ring shot”. I have to admit, I love looking at them. It’s something I need to do much more often. It’s not as...
