Ottawa Wedding Photographer Featured in Convention

I received some great news a little while ago but have not had time to blog about it until now (wedding clients come first). Those of you who have met me know I am NOT a skinny latte. I am plus size but I prefer Curvalicious! It always saddened me when I would see plus size brides receive unflattering images on their wedding day simple because they were not posed, lit or placed a certain way in the photographs-we really are delicate flowers :) . So I decided to hopefully change that one photographer at a time. Enter Canada’s Premiere Photography Convention being held in the beautiful city of Vancouver in April 2012. I was ecstatic when the organizers said YES to my curves and workshop. I am so proud at the talent that will be under the same roof speaking on the topic of photography.

So if you are a photographer reading this, I urge you to sign up and sign up now while tickets are hot AND you can win some serious stuff. For instance…
I want you to win stuff…starting now:

Register before November 1st and you can win a private Skype session with acclaimed photographer Steve McCurry

Also one of the first 50 people to register will win an iPad2.

Thanks for listening peeps…this is a topic that is very near and dear to me and something I am very proud of!

Canada’s Premiere Photography Convention

The Canada Photo Convention is the premiere event for professional development among Canadian wedding photographers. With multi-award-winning speakers to inspire and teach you, this conference is not to be missed. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or someone who is just starting out in the business, Canada Photo Convention has something from you. With sessions taught by the best wedding photographers from Canada and the United States, and the opportunity to network with talented shooters from across North America, there is something for photographers of all skill levels. Experienced wedding photographers will have the opportunity to improve their technique and make connections with colleagues from across the continent, while photographers who are new to the business will learn how to market themselves and build a solid reputation with clients.

Brooke and Ty…what can I say!  I think I may just break down and cry {insert tears here}.  You guys are an amazing couple. Your family is amazing for that matter! I could totally just hang with you guys every weekend (and your neighbours because they are freakin funny). I can’t thank you enough for trusting me capture your wedding day and hand over complete trust to myself and my team.  I knew I was in for trouble when I walked into the guys getting ready and I saw Adam’s black swollen eye and I said, “Dude, no amount of photoshop can help THAT!”   I was even crushin’ on Jeremy a little bit near the end of the night:)  Brooke, you and your girls looked amazing…like you all walked out of a magazine.

Here is a teaser fusion video of your beautiful and fun filled day…

Big thanks to following vendors who played a key role in making this wedding a huge success!

These are not just links future brides….these are top notch vendors who go above and beyond the call of duty. David McCaffrey creates pieces of art for your wedding and made my bride shine. She was so happy with the customer service from David, I just had to write about it in my blog. Now onto one of my FAV hotels…Brookstreet. The food, the staff, the hotel itself is high class. You are in fab fab hands when you choose Brookstreet as the backdrop for your wedding.  Speaking of FAB….Sarah Js Cupcakes. You NEED to try this girls cupcakes! Personally, I want to lick the buttercream straight from  the bowl but I will refrain. Brooke and Ty chose my two fav flavors: Lemon and Chocolate.  Brooke looked absolutely amazing with her professionally applied makeup and it was all Ariana!   Lastly but surely not least, Quality Entertainment: Brian and Scott are the ultimate professionals and always ensure a fun time for their clients. The music was rockin at this wedding and that is just one of the reasons why Quality Entertainment is the only DJ I recommend.
