Donna & Jason: Orpheum Theatre Enagement Session

John Heil — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 02:27:42 +0000

Well, I’m finally settling back into the swing of things here at the studio and I’m glad to say I’ll finally be posting some more stuff to the blog soon. July was a whirlwind adventure to say the least, travelling to New York for a wedding and then to Europe for a personal vacation, it was all quite amazing and overwhelming. I tried to keep up with work while away, but that was pretty difficult, needless to say! I have to thank everyone who has been so patient with me-I appreciate it immensely!!

Anyways…back to the more important part of this post, Donna & Jason! Ooooh Donna, and Jason, what a fabulous couple. I don’t know if it was Donna’s drop dead gorgeous smile or her killer taste in fashion (Check out the Louboutin’s), that first hooked me on her, but couple that with her beautiful personality and she is a total gem. Jason, well, he’s is this incredibly charming and handsome man who literally would do anything for Donna (like get us access to the Orpheum for this shoot!). He was so polite and just plain out awesome to work with. I just shot their wedding the other day so will be posting those photos soon, but for now, here’s the engagement session!!

Girls and Their Boys

John Heil — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:33:20 +0000

Yesterday I had an awesome shoot with 7 wicked girls! Jenny asked a few months back if I’d be up for photographing her and her 6 bridesmaids for a gift to them from her. Of course I jumped all over it! These girls were an absolute hoot to work with! Can’t wait to post more!

Oh, anyone wondering why the heck I haven’t posted anything in so long, well, it’s been a crazy busy month and sadly, the blog has been neglected! I was away in New York to shoot at a wedding at Boldt Castle, and then spent 4 days down in NYC. More on those coming soon!!! I’m off to Europe on Sunday for two weeks, so, you know what that means….blog posts will be slim, but I’ll try get in at least a few updates! For the daily giberish, feel free to follow me on Twitter!

Little White Dress Boutique: Campaign Teaser

Just a little something from a recent campaign shoot I did for Little White Dress Boutique! Had an awesome time working with Marbel and her team, as usual!

Tita & Brian: Steveston Engagement Session

John Heil — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:43:06 +0000

I’ve been so excited to post this session. I’ve shot a LOT of engagement sessions over the last month and this one was full of all sorts of awesome! I’ve known Tita for awhile now as I shot her sister Marbels wedding last year! Marbel is the owner of Little White Dress Boutique and we’ve since colaborated on many projects and are actually travelling to Europe together this summer! Tita is a make up artist and works for Sephora in Coquitlam, but also works for the dress boutique with Marbel, providing make up services for clients there. She is truly an amazing talent and does absolutely gorgeous work so if you ever need a wicked artist, call her! Tita had these KILLER red pumps that she wore the shoot and boy oh boy, did these two rock it. We shot at this great old produce farm out in Steveston, as well as an old abandoned school lot not far away from the farm. It was a great afternoon and I couldnt have pulled it off without their awesome attitudes and the full on sexy they brought to the shoot! Thank you guys for being so damn rad. And a big thanks to my trusty assistant Jo for helping with this shoot!

NYC Photographica!

So, since I’m heading to NYC again in just over a month, I figured it was probably time I posted some photographs from my last trip to NY! I only posted a few before, so here’s the full meal deal…..better late than never, right? I took a different route with my editing on these and decided to do a mix of cross processing and such….something a little different for this time through NYC Enjoy!

Jacqueline & Kevin: Wedding Photobooth

John Heil — Mon, 31 May 2010 04:54:14 +0000

Our first Photobooth of 2010 finally went up at Jacqueline & Kevin’s Grouse Mountain Wedding Reception last week and it was a huge hit as always! I looooooooove having the photobooth at weddings as it really gets people into some awesome shots and leaves the couple with some hilarious photos to laugh at after the wedding.

Here’s some of my favorites from last week!

Jacqueline & Kevin: Grouse Mountain Wedding Teaser

Ok, as promised! Here’s a few teaser shots from Jacqueline & Kevin’s AWESOME wedding at Celebration Pavillion & Grouse Mountain last week! What a blast I had at this wedding. Jacqueline and Kevin are AMAZING people and they have a fabulous circle of friends and family too. Spending the day with them was an absolute pleasure! I must admit though, the heli-copter was my favorite part!

Amber & Robin: Granville Island E-Session Teaser

John Heil — Fri, 28 May 2010 17:39:39 +0000

Here’s a little teaser from my shoot this weekend with Amber & Robin! We spent about 5 hours together on Saturday and had a blast wondering around the island. Amber is another old friend from Calgary who I’ve known for years and I’m so happy our pathes have crossed again! I’m shooting her and Robins wedding next month at the beautiful Boldt Castle in New York and I can’t wait for the big day! More to come!

Hawaii – Part Deux, finally

John Heil — Fri, 28 May 2010 08:36:31 +0000

If there is one thing I’m not so good at these days, it’s posting more of my personal pics. I take pictures everywhere but so many of them never make the light of day on the internet. Most of them are archived away for my own viewings with very good “intentions” to edit and post “ASAP”. Yah, well, my client work always takes priority so a lot of my personal stuff is still waiting to be posted. I really need to keep up on posting some travel pics this year since I’m so lucky to be visiting so many great parts of the world. With that in check, I’ll be posting some travel pics over the next little while from last years trips. I never did get around to posting the second half of my Hawaii photos, so, with no other introduction required, here, is paradise part two!
