I love fall.
It’s the time of year when I carry my camera (not just my iphone) with me everywhere.  So I’m even more excited when my clients want photo shoots in the fall, keeps me from just wandering aimlessly taking pictures of leaves.

Amy made one of these images her Facebook profile photo this week, mentioning that it had been exactly 1 year since we did this shoot….and I realized this blog post had slipped through the cracks! I photographed Amy & Tyler’s wedding almost 3 years ago, and we became instant friends. And I’m so excited to have our little ones born only 1 day apart, who can become great friends too.

Carly & Damon – Grouse Mountain Wedding

Tweet Carly & Damon’s Grouse Mountain wedding was relaxed, pretty, intimate, and full of great food & wine. What more could you ask for. I’m a big fan of the ‘first look’.

I’m a big fan of the ‘first look’. Seeing eachother before the ceremony comes in especially handy with a venue like Grouse Mountain, because once you’re up there you don’t exactly want to be leaving for pictures and coming back. Carly and Damon are urbanites and wanted their photos to be a reflection of that.

A couple after my own heart. They spent some serious time on “research” for which wines would be poured at their wedding. Nice choices!

Instead of the traditional bouquet toss, Carly surprised a friend by handing it to her during the reception. I loved the boyfriend’s reaction.

It’s not easy to think of Mother’s/Father’s Day gifts for your parents after 30-some years, but since we’ve had Quinn it’s gotten a lot easier! The photo on the left was hanging in our basement (24×36″ no less) during my entire childhood. I didn’t find it nearly as adorable as they did, especially when I was trying to be a cool and sophisticated 8 year old in front of my friends.

 

But I get it now. We did this photo shoot with Quinn as a gift to my parents, and now I’ll always have this photo blown up on the wall for all her friends to see.

Sorry, little one. Your life is going to be full of embarrassing smooches in public, and proud displaying of naked baby photos. Might as well get used to it.

FAQs… sort of (frequently asked questions that no one’s asked because it’s a new, one-time offer)

 

Q. My wedding doesn’t fall into your thoughtfully designed offer.  Does that mean you don’t want to hear from me?
A. Absolutely not! Meaning, it absolutely does not mean that not absolutely we do not want to hear from you.  If you’re half as confused as we are by this answer, then please contact us anyway and we’d be happy to talk about your day.

Q. Who will be providing the hair and makeup service? Please don’t tell me it’s your sister or something.
A. Well, this is awkward. It actually is Jana’s sister but fortunately she’s also the extremely talented owner of Glamourpuss Mobile Makeup www.glamourpussmakeup.ca

Q. What if I don’t need hair and makeup service for my wedding?
A. If that’s the case, you’re going to need another package!  Contact us and we can discuss a package that will better suit your needs.

Q. Do you offer albums and prints?
A. We’re so glad that you hadn’t yet asked this question but we thought to ask it for you.  Yes we do! In fact we believe so strongly in the value of having a tangible record of your day that beginning in Spring 2012 all of our packages will include at least one custom designed album. We’re also happy to add any additional offered services to this package, such as photobooth, extra hours, etc.

Q. What if you’re already booked for my date?
A. Tough luck! That’s why we’re offering a special to fill in our remaining dates.  okay, that came off a little harsh… Do not fret! We have a network of other photographers that we trust to refer you to who might still be available.

Q. Why aren’t these FAQs very helpful?
A. We brainstormed these over a couple of glasses of wine and as was mentioned above, no one has had an opportunity to ask any real questions yet. But thank you for taking the time to read them.
