Rowell Photography » International Wedding Photographers for Destination Weddings & Honeymoon Photography

Welcome to our website

We are Erika & Ryan, the internationally published and award winning photographer team behind Rowell Photography. Specializing in Wedding Photography for Destination Weddings near or far, Portraiture & Family Photography. Located in Barrie Ontario, halfway between Toronto and the Muskokas.
We really do have the best jobs in the world! But it didn’t come without the help of our amazing clients. Thank you!
In 2005 when we started our little photography business, never did we imagine that it would take us on such an exciting journey. From traveling the world to being published in magazines like McLean’s, WedLuxe, Today’s Bride, Weddingbells, B Magazine (Ireland), Perfect Wedding, and tons of online blogs, newspapers near and far, even being interviewed on CBC Radio twice. since then we have been lucky enough to work all across Canada, France, England, Czech Republic, Mexico and Dominican Republic photographing couples in love, growing families and many amazing stories.
What we love most about shooting weddings and engagements is watching each couples love story unfold right before our eyes, its like we are watching them fall in love for the first time. We enjoy the challenge of creating something new and fresh for each couple we meet. We truly love what we do, and hope that our images portray the passion we have for photography and storytelling! We are in the business of telling stories, love stories, family stories and life stories, and we can’t wait to tell yours. We hope to hear from you soon!

Get Learned!

Sometimes some people just have that special something, you all know what I am talking about, some people are just ridiculously good at certain things. Its almost like their brain functions differently than everyone else’s. usually those people are the ones who can figure out Rubick’s cubes in only a few moves and can come up with Rube Goldberg experiments in their head. I live with one of those people. Ryan is one of those people. He is crazy brilliant, he knows a lot about a lot of things. Finally I think he has found an outlet for all his knowledge gained in photography. Teaching.

Ryan is excelling at teaching, he is patient, and knows so much about lighting, and the science behind photography. Ryan taught me everything I know about photography, from shooting to editing to the history of the craft.

Never in a million did we think that our little One on One Teaching Sessions would take off like they have. We have had the chance, in just one month to really get to know some great people who are doing really interesting work. The photographers who book sessions with us are already great photographers (even though most of them don’t know it before they come) they are very skilled, and even though some are new to the biz they bring with them a lot of great ideas and enthusiasm.

Last week we met with Shiri of Focus Studios in Toronto we spent the day chatting about business, talking about goals, the future and breaking down images, and lighting set ups. We spent a few hours in the afternoon photographing one of our favorite models Juliette, who I am sure you have seen on this blog a few times here and here. We covered natural light shooting, shooting indoors with flash and natural light, some off camera flash and how to control it.

Thank you Juliette for being so patient and for taking part, and thanks to Shiri for spending the day with us. We cannot wait to see what you will do this 2010 year!

Check out a few pics from our day!
