Ottawa’s Premiere Wedding Show – We’ll be there!
The Ottawa Wedding Show – The Wedding Palace is only a few days away and we will be setting up shop in booth #306 to welcome you!
I am looking forward to meeting you in person and having the oppourtunity to answer all your questions about wedding photography and showcase some of the professional wedding photography services available for 2012 and 2013. I love the wedding show for the oppourtunity to meet brides and couples in-person and to make those personal connections that are not as easily established over the Internet alone.
Last year was a lot of fun and I met many of my current 2011 brides at the last wedding show – some showing up with some wonderful inspiration boards and others with their eyes wide-open to be inspired! Some of Ottawa’s best wedding planners and wedding design professionals will be in attendance and showcasing their distinct flair and inspiration for your stylish wedding. Planning and designing the wedding of your dreams is truly exciting and is an expression of yourselves as a couple – having the best people in your corner to bring your personal style to life cannot be unrrated.
This is also an excellent oppourtunity to speak directly with some of the wedding venues that you may be considering. There are some awesome Ottawa Wedding venues that will be showcased there and they will be availalble to give you an idea of how their specific venue is set-up and how it might fit in with expressing the style of wedding you are planning…
Looking forward to meeting you all!

Shop InStyle for a Cure – Ottawa Wedding Photographers
On April 8th, 2010 I had the oppourtunity to capture this wonderful charity event with host Amanda O’Rielly at Ottawa’s newest wedding chapel “Weddings Instyle” in the Byward market. Featured are some of Ottawa’s best wedding vendors. The dresses are by White Haute (you must visit Dana in her new shop…some amazing gowns-some featured below). Once again Erin Carmichael of Full Bloom showing off her amazing talents with flower arrangements that are truly exquisite and elegant.
Aside from the amazing swag bags worth over $250, one lucky lady won the $1800 Tacori Neckalce…(sigh)…it was sooo lovely!

Fuschia Friends – Ottawa Wedding Photographer
On Tuesday, I attended an awesome event hosted at Hush clothing in Wellington Village, with some amazing women entrepreneurs. It was an energizing experience to be around women who were as passionate about their work as I am, and who also are on the same journey to find balance between their passion for their work and the loves of their lives. The Fuchsia Factory, lead by Tina Yelle along with Samantha Moonsammy of Starfish Events, is a great opportunity to build partnerships and friendships alike. It is an opportunity for women to give their one minute “elevator pitch” about their work to each other. My pitch went a bit like this: I love fashion, I love art and the more I shoot the more I…love what I do…;) Can I take you picture? Then, if they were brave…I took some impromptu photos, because what else does a photographer do?
Of particular interest to my clients will be the wedding planning services offered by Allison Turner of Live Love Plan offering day-of planning services and Starfish events for day of and end-to-end wedding planning services locally and for destination weddings (including Ottawa and Barbados). Also, Melissa Summers of The Flour Shoppe- cupcakery would be pleased to create the cupcake of your dreams for your wedding day.
