Christmas time is the busiest time of the year for engagements. Throw in a wedding show last weekend and you have wedding dates booking up very fast for 2011. So don’t wait to make contact, introduce yourself and start putting the wheels in motion to book your wedding photographer! After all, the relationship you have with your photographer is one of the most important relationships with your vendors. Make sure you book an exceptional photographer for your remarkable wedding.

Ottawa Wedding Fusion Photographer

Erin and Luigi got married on a “warm” New Year’s Eve in Ottawa. It was a beautiful wedding with gorgeous details, shoes, dress, and of course, couple! They left plenty of time for photographs and were up for anything! Enjoy this fusion wedding video and grab your tissues!
Look on my website for these guys; they are a featured couple! Also check out my Fusion Website to view other Fusion videos!

I have to give a big shout out to Lago! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was fantastic…a definite hit with everyone and highly recommended to my future brides!

Needless to say I was thrilled to get the call about being chosen as one of Canada’s top inspirational wedding photographers with Wedding Bells magazine! No thrilled is an understatement! I can’t begin to describe how happy I am!

I had an amazing year in 2010 and met some wonderful clients. I am so excited about 2011 and what kinds of images we can get! Come see me at the Westin Bridal Palace Wedding Show Jan 15/16, see some great images and have a chat with me. My booth is directly to the right of the fashion booth!

Cheers

Awwww the turn of the year. A new beginning, new relationships, new engagements and new brides to be! The 2010 wedding season ended officially on New Year’s Eve for me…pictures posted soon for Erin and Luigi! Barbara Ann Studios celebrated a very successful year with beautiful images created for the best clients. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we basically had a blast! I met a lot of people and shared some beautiful moments.

There was also a lot of blogging about Barbara Ann Studios this year as well from wedding vendors around North America. Special shout out and thanks go to Hot Pink Brides, Sensational WV, Brides.ca and Fabulously Wed - with more images to blog from Perfect Bound and BWed Exclusive.  Also, it was a stellar year for print…Ottawa Wedding Magazine chose a destination wedding I photographed for a feature and in the next few weeks, look for features/images with Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Today’s Bride Magazine, and the Perfect Wedding Magazine. In addition, there was a major announcement for Barbara Ann Studios .  I am sooooo excited for this little puppy!!! Wedding Bells Magazine has announced that I made their list of top inspiring wedding photographers for 2011!!  This is a dream come true and the result of lots of hard work.

I also want to give a huge thanks to all of the vendors/people that made a huge difference for me this year. Chandra Chandra Chandra!  Love this girl! She is second photog extraordinaire and a great friend. Also a big thanks to Strathmere! I love this place for weddings and recommend it highly. They have been fabulous to work with! I worked with some fantastic ladies in the wedding planner department as well…Lynn from Weddings Unveiled and Mariam from Top Marx. Both woman deserve a huge round of applause for their creative efforts and super duper organizational skills. Quality Entertainment was a huge bonus for any bride who trusted them for their music on their wedding day….Brian and his team are amazing people and keep the dance floor just a rockin! Finally, Michelle VandenBosch, my FAB Florist…no one can create floral designs like  you….there is a reason Grace Ormonde wanted pics of that tree!  Looking forward to working with you all again in 2011.  Without further wait, here is a quick slideshow of some of my fav images of 2010!  Cheers everyone!

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
The sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields.

May your cup overflow with health and happiness.
