I went to see Rene at Scout Design a few weeks back now in an attempt to create something beautiful and fun for my upcoming bridal shows. I wanted something that I thought couples would hold onto, more so than just a simple rack card.

After mulling over various ideas we got to talking about an article I had seen earlier in the week about the importance of having a professional photographer to capture the most important moments of the biggest day of your life. Somehow this led to a conversation on the ‘hear say’ rules of photography. Some are so obviously untrue but others seem to be the favoured myths.

Please take a look and let me know your thoughts!

Happy New Year and Congrats!

caitlin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 22:17:12 +0000

Well, 2010 has finally arrived and much sooner than I could have imagined. That said, I am so excited as I know wedding season will soon be upon us! The kick-off will actually begin two weeks today with the Kingston Bridal Show on January 17th. This will be my first year in Kingston and I am so excited to meet all the couples and brides-to-be! All going well the following weekend I will be returning to the Quinte Mall Bridal Show, which is always a fabulous event!

I would also like to extend my congratulations to any and all couples that got engaged over the Holiday Season! I hope you will stop by and visit the Adelita Rose booth if you are attending either of the two shows. I look forward to meeting you all!

All the best in the New Year!

Brad and Beckie are Engaged!

caitlin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 01:57:33 +0000

About a week back I was on a walk with my dogs; the light was beautiful, and although I’d walked the trail countless times before I saw it differently that day and fell in love with the spot. I instantly wanted to shoot. Maybe it was from a slight with drawl of not shooting as much as I had all summer. Either way I asked Brad and Beckie, one of my 2010 couples if they would consider going there for their engagement shoot, I was so pleased when they agreed.

So on Saturday we met at Miss Lily’s in Picton and headed out to the trail; three dogs in tote. We did most of the photos on the trail before heading out to Lake on The Mountain.

Thank you so much Brad and Beckie for trusting my judgement, you are such a beautiful and natural couple! I can’t wait till you tie the knot on June 26th of next year!

Looking Forward

caitlin — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:52:29 +0000

So first off, I have to apologize for my serious slack on updating my blog lately. I took a wee bit of a breather after wrapping up wedding season late last month and am now gearing up and looking forward to 2010. I will be kicking off the wedding drum on Sunday, January 17th where you will find me at the Kingston Bridal Show. This will be my first year at this show and I couldn’t be more excited to experience it.

I am so excited for next year’s wedding season and can’t believe how quickly the year is booking up… on that note please, please don’t wait till it’s too late and your day is taken

Taking a step back though I am happy to announce that I will be launching into Boudoir shoots this coming holiday season, so if you are looking for that extra special gift for your special someone please fill in the contact form. These will also make an amazing Valetine’s day present.

Until then I hope you will keep checking back for updates and new posts!

Brant and Erica are Engaged!!

caitlin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:02:52 +0000

I first met Erica in 2003 when we both started up at Loyalist College in the Photojournalism program. I got to know Erica very well through class, chasing news and hanging out with friends. A year later her, then boyfriend Brant started the program and moved to Belleville. Last year when Brant proposed to Erica, I was honoured when the couple came to me about shooting their wedding. The couple will tie the knot next September in Kingston.

On Sunday I met up with the couple to shoot some more untraditional engagement photos. After losing light quickly, we decided that we would reconvene over the Winter months for a second shoot.

Congratulations to you both! I am so excited for your wedding!

A Bittersweet End

caitlin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:56:40 +0000

On Saturday, I joined Curt and Emily as they declared their love for one another with the vows of marriage.

It was a slightly bittersweet day for me; as always the wedding was beautiful and the couple looked amazing, but this was my last wedding of the season, and I was sad to see it end.

We started the day off at the beautiful Clarion Inn and Suites hotel in Belleville’s downtown before moving to the Greek Hall for the ceremony.

After a beautiful ceremony we headed to Sir James Whitney school to capture a few family shots and then wrapped up on the Waterfront trail. Aside from a slightly brisk breeze the day was beautiful, and the fall colours were out in force.

After wrapping up we headed back to the Greek Hall for a beautiful reception and dinner!

Thank you so much Emily and Curt for making my last wedding an amazing day. I wish you both all the best as you start this new chapter in your lives!

Family Fun

caitlin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 22:28:07 +0000

So, for awhile now I have been contemplating getting into location family photos. I have had numerous people ask about it and it seems to be the logical next step in the progression of Adelita Rose.

So, that said on Thursday of this week I met up with my Photo-J college classmate Kathryn, husband Eric along with Seth and their beautiful baby girl Miriam who was born February of last year.

We had been planning this for awhile but it was finding the right time for both our schedules. After contemplating locations, we settled on a few spots in and around the Sandbanks Provincial Park, including Lakeshore Lodge.

I am pleased with the outcome and hope Kathryn and Eric are as well. I welcome as many comments as possible as this is a new venture and everything takes time

Thanks so much Kathryn and Eric, I hope you had as much fun as I did!

Trash the Dress

caitlin — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:06:13 +0000

Over the weekend I was invited up to Allison’s parents cottage up in Cloyne for Allison’s Day After session. Greg and Allison were married August 15 of this year. This year also marked her parents 30th Anniversary so as a special part of the day Allison’s mom pulled her wedding dress out of the box it had been in for thirty years. With the ladies dressed in white Allison and her mom took there grooms for a swim.

The ladies had a blast and the day was topped off by a wonderful BBQ and cook off.

Thank you so much Greg and Allison for a wonderful afternoon I had a blast!

Muskoka Love

caitlin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:39:16 +0000

On Saturday, I joined Erica and Mat in Port Severn for their family filled resort wedding. The couple had decided while planning their wedding to have it centered not just on them and their day but on the people that meant the most to them. What resulted was a two-day wedding getaway.

Although the ceremony went off without a hitch, the much anticipated wedding had it’s fair share of ups and downs. Three weeks ago the couple contacted me in a panic as after unreturned emails and phone calls they learned their originally planned resort had foreclosed on them forcing them to move their entire wedding. The couple was lucky enough to stumble across Port Severn Lodge a beautiful resort nestled in the Muskoka region.

Congratulations Mat and Erica and thank you for allowing me to share in your day! I had a wonderful time!

And we’re live!

Over the last few months I have had the pleasure of working with Rene from Scout Design on the total revamp of this site. I wanted to turn towards something that was more user friendly for my clients. Unfortunately I had received more than one comment about the speed and ease of my previous site which I felt was becoming a slight nuisance to those landing on it. What came out of this rework I couldn’t be happier with!

From here on out I am happy to say that I will be working to keep you posted and up to date on all the latest going on with Adelita Rose. Although I will be continuing to post my regular photo sneak peeks on my Facebook fan page I will also be posting them here, so check back often!

Thank you so much to Rene and the team at Scout and of course Jacob Kennedy for everything! It has been such a pleasure working with you on this!

Now go check it out!
