Thank you to everyone that came by my wedding photography booth on Saturday to say hello, ask a few questions and take a peek at some of my latest work. There are some exciting destination weddings ahead for 2011 from wineries and vineyards to the caribbean, France and Mexico. Closer to home, some weddings are being planned at some of my favorite intimate wedding venues such as Restaurant 18, Juniper other chic restaurants in Ottawa and my favorite large venues, Chateau Laurier, the Westin, The Marshes, The Brookstreet Hotel and The Hilton Lac Leamy. I don’t think you could go wrong with any of these!

Conversations on the floor were filled with the excitement of planning and it really was a treat to meet so many brides to be just newly engaged and taking in all the wedding inspiration. If you missed coming by, here’s what the booth looked like…I couldn’t resist using a splash of the trendy tangerine.

Special thanks to Erin Carmichael of Full Bloom Floral Design for the lovely floral arrangements and to Professional Entertainment group for the lighting accents!

Here are some of my favorite wedding vendors from the show:

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!
