Bridal boudoir marathon

Photos from Brookstreet Facebook page

So for a while now I've been wanting to plan a boudoir marathon. Since I'm specializing in wedding photography, more specifically a bridal boudoir marathon - but anyone is welcome to come! I've been bouncing ideas for a while now but I think I finally have it secured.

The event will take place on March 23, 2014 - probably at Brookstreet Hotel Kanata (beautiful, right?!). I have Hair Expectations Salon & Spa lined up to do hair and makeup included in the session fee.

I'm a newbie to boudoir photography so jump on this steal of a price before I become a pro ;) Just kidding…kind of. lol

For $175 you will get a 45 minute boudoir session in a stunning hotel room, with the hour prior spent feeling like a princess getting your hair and makeup done.

The time slots aren't for sure yet but as of now they are looking like every hour on the hour from 10am to 4pm, 4pm being the start of the last session. This means I have room for 7 stunning ladies that want some sexy self-confidence.

I also have "little black books" (or any colour you want really) available additionally for gifting or keeping purposes.

Email me to secure your spot or check out the Facebook event page for more info! Also use it to invite your friends and make it a girls day.

Tie The Knot Ottawa

Swag bags table

One week ago yesterday, I attended (and exhibited) and the best wedding show in existence. For it's inaugural year, Tie The Knot Ottawa blew everyone's minds. Since it's invention, it was designed to be "that different wedding show" meant for more urban in opposite from all of those "luxury" wedding shows.

It was the perfect size because there were enough vendors to choose from, but not too many of each. Other large shows can be compared to speed dating for brides, but with Tie The Knot, brides had a chance to have a small chat with any vendor they wanted.

Even within the same category, each vendor was not even comparable. They did the best job of not only selecting each vendor, but separating us within the room. It was such a different venue location which helped in making the show so unique.

I met so many awesome bride-to-be's and I am so honoured by the number of consultations I have to meet them again. I can't wait to jump on board and get fully emerged in the 2014 wedding scene.

Thank you so much to my amazing boyfriend who has helped and supported me every step of the way. I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and liked my work.

For brides that visited me at the show, don't forget about the $200 gift check enclosed in my brochure booklet :) Book your consultation and let me know you have it. Winner of the album to be announced soon!!

My lovely booth with the most wonderful boyfriend ever.

I am already so anxious to get the paperwork to do the show again next year. If it was so great in it's first year, I can't even imagine what they can do in two. They are also pondering branching out to Kingston, Toronto and Montreal. I have complete faith in Earleen and Cheryl to blow my mind again next year. Thanks for making it so easy to book clients. This will be my breakout year, and you guys will play a huge part in it.

Check out what they're up to by visiting their website and giving them a like on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. If you missed the most amazing event ever, you'll be able to catch their next ones!
