Active Wedding Reception Games

We've all been to receptions that are standard - we welcome and celebrate the new married couple, watch them dance, and enjoy cake with them. But creative couples often enjoy coming up with fun games that include the entire guest list.

Including the guests is an excellent way to get people out of their chairs, meeting people they might not otherwise know and feeling like they are truly a part of the celebration, not just observers.

One fun and active game that can be… Continue

Tenderness Of Traditions: The Wedding Gown Part 2.

Just about a week ago, we established just what a wedding gown mean to a bride. We know that the gown is more than what they’ll wear on what they consider to be one of the most important days of their lives. The wedding gown is the embodiment of a dream realized, a dream they’ve dreamed since a little girl while playing dress up with a close friend. A dream realized from the first time they saw that “special” little boy whom made them giggle and of she went, dreaming of what their wedding day… Continue

A stylish Trash the Dress session

Heather and Christian got married last year in August. I have thoroughly enjoyed being there on their day.

It was to my nice surprise that almost one year later Christian contacted me thinking to surprise Heather for their first anniversary by offering her a 'trash the dress' session with me. He knew his wife would be absolutely thrilled to wear her gorgeous dress again.

So here I went to Barrie on an amazingly beautiful September day. We had, again, a lot of fun together.… Continue

Letterpress Wedding Invitations Shop Around and See Who is the Best What a Bing Search Reveals

While the word Google creeps into our vocabulary (and homepages) on a daily basis, we sometimes forget that there are alternative search engines available. In the past year Bing, a new Microsoft entity, has been creating quite a stir on the internet.

Advertised as a “decision engine,” this new type of search engine supposedly gives better results and more accurately organizes websites when you search.

I decided it was time to test the theory

Kill the Shot List! Creativity before Checklists!

This is generally a non-issue for brides who hire me but for those of you brides-to-be and wedding coordinators out there–let’s all agree to kill the photography shot list once and for all!! Who’s with me?

There are photographers and brides out there whose weddings a shot list might be appropriate for. For instance–possibly a traditional film photographer who will only be shooting a certain number of photos on the wedding day. Or a bride who prefers traditional staged photography.… Continue
