Glen Durrell Photography

Owned and operated by Glen Durrell, Glen Durrell Photography is one of the premier wedding photography studios in all of British Columbia.

What is your primary camera body?

Nikon D2X.

Two lenses you use the most.

70-200 f2.8vr, 50f1.4

Do you shoot RAW?

No, jpeg fine, largest. Just have to bang on with exposure.

How would you describe your photography style?

I would describe our style as fun and funky with a fashion bend.

Do you normally employ assistants or 2nd shooters?

I work with my wife Cathi, who is the best stylist. I occasionally use assistants but not as second shooters.

What do you remember about your first (or one of your first) wedding?

I remember feeling extremely nervous before the shoot and kind of euphoric after. Still get that feeling after. Not so nervous before now.

If you were getting married this year, who would you want to shoot your wedding?

If I was to hire anyone in the world, it would be a three way tie between, Bruce Dorn, Jerry Ghionis and Yervant.

What advice would you give to someone just beginning their career as a wedding photographer?

My advice is get as much technical knowledge as you can first, then assist with successful shooters to learn how to direct people.
