Carl Reid Spirited [spir-i-tid] - having or showing vigor, liveliness

We gad a chance to shoot 3 generation of families from grandmom to parents (3 sisters) to children (6 kids). Luckily we had the beach, the park and freezes to keep us all occupied!!! Or at least just enough to give us a wink and a smile in front of the lens.

n] - a joyful or festive celebration

I had a chance to take some photos of Musiq Soulchild when he visited us in Toronto. When I wasn't clicking the lens I was singing along with the crowd. Musiq thanks for entertaining us in T.O.

Shout out to Kardinal Official for hosting the night as well!!!

]]> Engagement: Shernet + Marlon - Sensual tag:1kwphoto.com,2010://1.57 2010-05-22T11:01:46Z 2010-06-16T01:52:03Z

Carl Reid Sensual [sen-shoo-uhl] - arousing or exciting the senses

I first met Shernet and Marlon at my church APC where we conducted a photobooth at the their annual Shine event. Truth be told, during the photobooth session I took at least 20 images of this gorgeous couple as they looked so awesome together. They had such a indescribable quality that made me want to take more and more pictures. When they later asked us to conduct their engagement and wedding pictures we could not wait to get started and immediately started to storyboard the engagement photos. And as they often like to visit Rotary Park together we had decided to conduct the engagement shoot by the beach, park and finally end the last scene on their motorcycle. That's right, it's a beach-bike photoshoot!!! Enjoy!!!

Carl Reid Caring - [kair-in] - to have an inclination, liking, fondness, or affection

Here is another one of my 1KW Gallery "a thousand words" where I approach couples or families and ask to take their photos. For those who are new to my blog, the goal: capture an image of the couple, ask them to review the image and then name that image based on the first thing that comes to mind.

For my next couple, they named it "Caring". You can really see the love and affection as they look at each other when I asked them to express how they felt on the day of their wedding. What words comes to mind for you?

]]> Wedding: Denise + Brenton tag:1kwphoto.com,2010://1.56 2010-03-20T01:26:11Z 2010-04-21T08:58:54Z

Carl Reid
Denise and Brenton's beautiful wedding started from the rooms, the hallways and even outside of Royal York hotel. The day started with breakfast with the debonair yet comical groom and groomsmen at Richtree (Movenpick). Alot of jokes and few pictures later the Brenton and the groomsmen were ready for what the day will unfold. Except ofcourse how beautiful and radiant Denise looked. Since my wife always captures the bride and bridesmaid getting ready when I first got a glimpse of Denise I was absolutely floored. She was absolutely radiant, and graceful in front of the camera.

Denise and Brenton are a beautiful and godly couple whose style and grace invoked such positive emotions from my wife and myself that we literally snapped a picture once every 3 seconds from 8am to midnight. We enjoyed every moment of the day and wish it wouldn't end. Thank you for a great way to end our winter wedding session.

It was a long and grueling day for the Bridesmaid and Groomsmen so naturally they helped each other as best as they could!!!

Carl Reid Happiness - [hap-ee-ness] - good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy

Here is another one of my 1KW Gallery "a thousand words" where I approach couples or families and ask to take their photos. For those who are new to my blog, the goal: capture an image of the couple, ask them to review the image and name that image based on the first thing that comes to mind.

For my next couple, they named it "happiness" for obvious reasons. I can't help but smile every time I look at this picture. Their laughter was infectious and the funny thing is, all I asked them to do is smile!!! What words comes to mind for you?

Carl Reid Sincere [sin-seer] - free of deceit, hypocrisy, or falseness; earnest, genuine; real and unmixed

I've recently got introduced to Damian a few weeks back which lead to this awesome headshot/portrait session. I say "headshot/portrait" as he needed a few headshots for his portfolio but once we started shooting the session lead to headshots to a few wardrobe changes to hallyway shot until we were out the door and taking photos outside.

We had an awesome time as when we were not shooting we were wiping away laugh tears while he shared a few "behind the scenes" acting stories from his past play performances. Now he is going for the "big time" and we can't wait to see this young star acting in a few movies in the near future.

Best of luck Damian and thanks for the jokes.

Enjoy...

Here is another one of my 1KW Gallery "a thousand words" is where I approach couples or families and ask to take a few photos of them. For those who are new to my blog, the goal: capture an image of the couple, ask them to review the image and name that image based on the first thing that comes to mind.

For my next couple, she named it beautiful and he named it named it "Dorky" after I asked them to show me how they say hello and goodbye at the same time. I think I'm going to go with "Beautiful" What word comes to mind for you?
