3 Photo Shoots in 1 Day

Well, today was a busy day. Started off with a nice and fun photo shoot at The Seaway Mall with Jess and Dara, we infiltrated a furniture store and took over, grabbing some pretty cool shots with Dara, then headed into the back halls at the mall and used a pretty cool corridor for a few shots.

Then Jess started the makeup for shoot #2, a "gothic wedding", not having a cool location yet, I decided to go out and take a drive to find somewhere to shoot. I drove around Welland for about an hour, until I came across the Rex Motel. Apparently it's not a real motel, I thought maybe they'd have some cool hallway with old vintage worn down red wallpaper, and cool lamps, but apparently they just take off-line bets for horse and dog racing.

After leaving the Rex and diving into a swimming pool full of Purel I headed down the street and stumbled across a very cool old abandoned building that was once called The Welland Club. Not sure exactly what it was, some sort of Club for Wellanders I suppose. But it looked like the perfect place. I snapped a few location shots, and headed back to the mall where Jess was doing makeup on Dara and Ky our two goth models.

I still had some time to kill so I bought some clothes, nothing big, but a pair of jeans, and some shirts I can wear in Mexico on our honeymoon in a few weeks.

I showed the pics to Jess and we headed back to Club De Welland and grabbed some pretty cool shots.

Here's a few samples from the day.

For Photo shoot #3 I headed over to Niagara Falls, and shot musician John Boyd. He needed some press photos for his website and for an upcoming show, I'll post those shots tomorrow.
