The RSVPs

April 29, 2008

This stage has been THE most exciting so far. Everyday, when I get home from work it’s like a mini- Christmas. My fiancé lays the RSVPs out on the coffee table for me to see. I actually squealed yesterday at a particularly large haul! I feel like it’s a written confirmation of having friends. 9 RSVPs back today? WOW we are popular! People like us! Yay for me! (Um, I mean US).

I’m also quite enjoying the little blurbs that people are writing on the RSVP. It never occurred to me to do so. There are well wishes, a lot of “looking forward to it’s”. But the ones that I love the most are the JOKES. Again, it never occurred to me that the bride and groom on the receiving end of an RSVP might be in need of a chuckle.

Going to the Chapel and They’re …

April 26, 2008


The day is finally here for kd_2B_kk!

You’ll notice that she & I have been conspicuously absent for the last little while. I have been knee-deep in plans for her as well as some other business … she’s been readily getting prepared for what is to happen later this afternoon!

Honeymoon

April 15, 2008


Okay, I know you read the title and said “Whoa! first thing’s first! Get yourself married first!” But I just HAD to share this with you. From the start, Adam and I talked about possible honeymoon options. We reviewed every pocket of the world possible! Hawaii, Japan, Dominican, Cuba, Germany…the list goes on and even includes road trips to various North American destinations (or via points!). Eventually, we decided that with our limited vacation time as well as to avoid pushing financial limits, it would be best to forgo a honeymoon.

Whenever I heard others talk about honeymoons, traveling, the Caribbean, and the like I admit, I got a little down about our decision. I felt like I was missing out on a big part of the wedding process. But its funny how things just happened.

And the Night’s in a Paper Cup …

I am in love.

I was browsing through some stores when I came upon Estilo Weddings … it stopped me right away because of their green line of products but I have to say, those aside, I still love it! Check out some of the gems …

Finally it Has Happened to Me

April 13, 2008

Finally.

I’ve kept the photos from her long enough! Last weekend Blogger Bride’s invitations were completed … wooooo!
Compliments must be given to her and Blogger Groom not only for patience in the odd compromise but also for choosing an absolutely FUN and UNIQUE design to bring to life. I love the final product (I think it’s in my top three of favourites) so I do hope Blogger Couple loves it just as much.

Now enjoy some pictures!

Digital Retouching

April 11, 2008

I get asked a lot by clients about my additional retouching that I do for my boudoir portraits. Often people look at my boudoir portraits and think that there is no way that they could look that good! It is really amazing what a little Photoshop can do to enhance a portrait. For my retouching, I take out any imperfections, smooth out the skin and pump up the contrast to make it the beautiful image that you then see! Here are some samples of the before and after of a few photograph that I took of a lovely bride this past weekend.

Here Comes the Rain Again

April 8, 2008


With the dreariness of the past month are you looking forward to a brighter March? We certainly are. So much so that we’ve added a new focus to Moments That Shine. Our event planning services will be gearing from the normal bridal white to GREEN!

After researching, making some new connections & taking a look at the growing trends in everyday life, it just makes sense to try and change people’s mentalities when it comes to weddings. For years those concerned about the environment have touted receptions as needless & wasteful … but that can be turned around. If you’re planning a wedding, there are definitely things you can do to make the event more eco-friendly … at the very least you can reduce your environmental footprint of the day. We have grown our list of vendors to include organic, planet-conscious companies. We would all love to sit down with you and turn your event into something Mother Nature would be proud of. Until you make that call or email, here are some important tips on reducing waste on your wedding day …

April 7, 2008


Thumbing through my favourite wedding magazine again recently and I’ve fallen in love with a few dresses. One in particular is just too cute that I had to post a couple of pictures of it …

You Got to Cry Without Weeping

April 4, 2008

Let me preface this post by saying it has absolutely nothing to do with business. Before this blog I, like many other internet geeks, had a personal blog I updated every once in a while. I’ve given that up though because there just aren’t enough hours in the day anymore. If you would, I ask for your indulgence on this very very very sad day.

And remember, everyone has quirks.

Last night, my beloved Vancouver Canucks were ousted out of the playoffs race. I can take it. I’m a grown-up. Disappointment happens. But it doesn’t end there.

When I was eighteen I fell in love with Trevor Linden.
