April 28th, 2010 by Tricia B

It’s my second full day in Paris and what a day it was. A Parisian Haute Couture photo shoot took most of the day and here’s a sneak peak at some of the images I made.  These were taken in a variety of places near the river Seine in the Isle de Cite area.  More images will follow once I am home in Calgary.

Parisian wedding inspirations

March 28th, 2010 by Tricia B

In April I will be in the City of Lights, Paris, and have started organizing a photo shoot along with the lovely Nikki McLeod.  Below are some of my inspirations for the shoot. The hair, make-up, styling, etc. all illustrate what I have in my head that I want to translate into photographs. Nikki and I cannot wait to meet in Paris and I’m counting down the days.

I will be sure to post my images once I am back in North America!

Red Rock Canyon – Las Vegas TTD shoot with Scarlett Lillian

March 19th, 2010 by Tricia B

While I was in Las Vegas for the 2010 WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Professionals International) convention this year, I was very fortunate to meet Scarlett Lillian.  Scarlett is a phenomenal wedding and portrait photographer based in Florida, and she was gracious enough to invite me to her Red Rock Canyon shootout.  Scarlett is like the edgy little sister I never had, and was so wonderful to work with. She inspired me to push my creativity out of the box, and allowed me to create some amazing images.

Our bride and groom for the day were Mr. and Mrs. Wade (Erin and Gavin) from Orange County, California.  These shutterbug newlyweds had a great time in front of the cameras for a change ~ they were awesome at the romantic kissing pictures too!

Here are some of my favorite images from the afternoon in Red Rock Canyon…..

StyleLab: A workshop with Chenin Boutwell and The Wedding Chicks

February 3rd, 2010 by Tricia B

A week after my birthday in January, I was able to attend the StyleLab workshop in Orange County, CA, hosted by Chenin Boutwell and The Wedding Chicks. Despite the rain and tornado warnings for the area, we learned a ton, networked and have a ton of fun. Thank you to Chenin & Doug Boutwell of Boutwell Studios, and Amy & Jocey of The Wedding Chicks. Your enthusiasm was contagious and I’m thankful for everything I’ve learned from you.

Girls…. if you ever have the opportunity to wear one of Joan Shum’s dresses you are very fortunate indeed. The dress she provided was stunning and it made me want to start planning a vow renewal with my husband so I could wear it.

Here are some of my favorite images of the day…

Manolo Blahnik makes my favorite wedding shoes. These jeweled d’Orsay shoes (the Sedaraby) feature a jeweled buckle and come in white satin, silver napa leather, or gold napa leather ~ completely fabulous with any wedding dress. With a 3 1/2 inch heel, these shoes are the perfect height for both walking down the aisle and dancing the night away. The peep toe allows your wedding pedicure to show through as well.

With more neutral wedding shoes being featured for 2010, the Manolo Sedaraby is a shoe to consider for your wedding.

Wedding Bands – Do they have to match?

January 5th, 2010 by Tricia B

DO WEDDING BANDS HAVE TO MATCH?

The idea of matchy-matchy wedding bands has come and gone for a lot of modern couples. Considering you will be wearing your wedding band for the rest of your life, it should be a ring that you adore and is so comfortable you never want to take it off. Many couples find when shopping for wedding bands that what is great for one isn’t great for the other. Be it feel, weight, type of metal, or design, the matching bands don’t work for both the bride and groom. Another consideration – the type of band that works with the bride’s engagement ring may not have a men’s version.

When my husband and I shopped for our own wedding bands I was surprised at his taste in rings. I’m so glad we shopped together because what I would have selected for him was no where near his own choice. My band has diamonds in platinum while his band is titanium and 18K yellow gold. Do they look like matching bands? No way! Do they look great on each of us and feel amazing to wear? Heck yes! I can’t imagine either of us wearing a wedding band that we didn’t really like.

It’s 2010 and it’s time for couples to let go of the matchy bands, if they’d rather wear a ring reflective of their own personality. With that I hope the wedding bands you buy for your upcoming wedding are awesome, and fit who you are while reminding you of your commitment to each other.

Wedding rings

Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!!

    We were talking in class a painting during the Renaissance era. It was a classy painting about life in general throughout those times. There were characters in the painting performing their daily routines and the painting was like a portal of the earlier period.

    I was watching my kids playing by the lawn and they were so active playing with their toys. I constantly enjoy watching them as they are but every time I start thinking that they’ll be going to school before long worries me. Life in general can be very easy when you’re still little but things become difficult as you grow up.

  9. Cosmetic Dentist Says:

    Jimmy and I were talking about bringing our kids to the dentist next week. Our kids have routine of eating chocolates and not brushing their teeth afterwards . This resulted to their yellowish teeth. I’m just worried that the kids and I will be having many troubles tomorrow because they are afraid of going to the clinic.

  10. Dentist Says:

    I went to the dentist a few weeks ago to have my braces on. I’m still having difficulty in eating because of the wires. I also observed that I’m having a lot of cuts inside my mouth because of the wires and I find it very inconvenient . When I was a kid I’ve always wanted to become a dentist. That’s the reason why I went to the university to study dentistry. I’m currently in my sophomore year and I’m wishing that I’ll be able to pass in all the courses so that I can finish soon enough and be able to practice my dream profession. We were fooling around at the pool Saturday when I accidentally tripped and hit my face on the ground . I thought nothing was wrong when I noticed I lost my front tooth. It was later that I realized that my lip was full of blood because of the missing tooth. We instantaneously went to the dentist to get it repaired.

  11. Cosmetic Dentist Says:

    I went to the dentist a last month to have my braces on. I’m still having difficulty in chewing because of the wires. I also observed that I’m having a lot of wounds inside my mouth because of the wires and I consider it very undesirable. When I was a kid I’ve always wanted to become a dentist. That’s the reason why I went to college to study dentistry. I’m currently in my second year and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to pass in all the subjects so that I can finish soon enough and be able to do my dream job . We were fooling around at the pool yesterday when I accidentally tripped and hit my face on the ground . I thought nothing was wrong when I noticed I lost my front tooth. It was shortly that I realized that my lip was full of blood because of the missing tooth. We instantaneously went to the dentist to get it fixed .

  13. Dentist Says:

    I was on my way to visit a friend who is in a coma at the hospital after a car accident. While travelling a couple of kilometers I was able to think about how important it is to tell your loved ones each single day how much they mean to you and the relevance of life in general

  14. Raton Says:

    I always enjoy volunteering at the nursing center near our home . I find it very gratifying to spend quality moments with the seniors there and they have countless things to share about life in general which is worth knowing .

  15. Weddings Fort Lauderdale Says:

    It was hard for us to travel out of town because we didn’t have a car. It was my wife who decided that we could just rent a car at a car rental shop. It wasn’t really that expensive and it was a good option to make because we really had travel that time. Thanks to my wife!

  16. Event Planning Boca Raton Says:

    It was a problem to travel out of town because we didn’t have a car. It was my wife who decided that we could just rent a car at a car rental shop. It wasn’t really that expensive and it was a good option to make because we really needed it. Thanks to my wife!My boss owned a Toyota Hilux but it broke down when we traveled last month. We needed to travel again and so one of my colleagues suggested that we would just rent a car. It was a good idea since we really need to make the trip. We were thankful that we got to rent a car.

  17. Fashion accessories Says:

    It would be practical for a person who does not own a car to just go to car rentals and rent a good one to use. Although it is a bit costly, it is still a necessity since the car would be really useful. For fathers that still don’t have the money to buy new one, I’m sure a lot of them would go to car rentals and just rent one.

Fish Creek Park + Calgary Zoo wedding

Robyn and Brad had the most lovely outdoor ceremony in Fish Creek Park. Despite the overcast weather during the ceremony, the guests were moved while listening to Robyn and Brad exchange their vows.

After the ceremony, the groom presented his bride with a pair of cowboy boots so she could commence her riding lessons in style. The wedding party headed to Teatro’s for a champagne break while the guests continued on to the Safari Lodge at the Calgary Zoo.

Cochrane Historic RancheHouse Wedding

September 15th, 2009 by Tricia B

Anah and Justin were married at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Cochrane, Alberta and their reception was held at the Cochrane Historic RancheHouse. The day was a perfect blend of warm temperatures, sun and breeze that created wonderful opportunities to make images in the park below the RancheHouse.  Both Anah and Justin looked amazing along with their wedding party and the joy among the group was contagious.  Here are just a few of my favorite images from their spectacular day.

Calgary Zoo wedding

August 13th, 2009 by Tricia B

Jessica and Nick were married on August 1st at the Calgary Zoo. The ceremony took place in a garden near the Conservatory and the reception was held in the Safari Lodge. Both wedding parties dressed for the wedding at the Hotel Arts, and the Bride and Groom would spend their first night as a married couple in one of the gorgeous suites.

This was a very intimate wedding of family and friends witnessing Nick and Jessica’s commitment to each other. Family from Ontario were present and had to opportunity to learn a line dance to celebrate Calgary’s western flair. Ray the DJ played Michael Jackson’s Thriller as the bride and groom provided a show of the original dance moves from the music video. Weddings like this make me so glad to be a Calgary wedding photographer. Here is a look at some of my favorite images of their day.

    It is a good thing for you to have chosen to go with car rentals. It’s an alternative to consider if you don’t own a car yet. If you are hesitant to borrow from a friend then this would be best option. You can be secure plus you won’t hesitate to use it since you are paying good amount of money for it.

  2. Adrian tellea Says:

    Carl had to take a trip to Phoenix but he didn’t own a car so I recommended a car rental that will help him. Since it was important, he had to do it. It didn’t spend him much though and he got to Phoenix on time. He was grateful of the idea and he thought about purchasing one in the future.

    It is a good thing for you to have tried car rentals. It’s an alternative to consider if you don’t have a personal car yet.

  6. Cosmetic Dentist Says:

    I’m planning to set an appointment with my dentist tomorrow for a check-up since I’ve been suffering from tooth sensitivity recently . I find it very painful to consume a glass of cold water which is absolutely unusual for me. I was amazed to see my co-worker with really white teeth yesterday. She whispered she went to the dentist to have her teeth bleached. Because of her testimonials I’m thinking to visit my dentist Thursday to have dental bleaching as well.

    I was watching a movie with my Mom about the life of a mother and daughter and life in general for the both of them. I was shocked when the movie ended because my Mom couldn’t stop crying because she was so moved with the movie. I’ll definitely endorse that movie to my buddies .

He has become someone successful with his business and it has really help him a lot.Car rentals are one of the best business trends offered that I find witty so far. I can’t help thinking about cars being rented by people you barely are familiar with. Although it is a good business, it is rather not that reliable for me since I am a kind of person who his profit.My father used turn down the idea of renting a car from a car rental. He would say that it is to risky since it is not our personal car that we would be driving. Although we would be paying for the car, he would still refuse to use it.
