Brad and Beckie are Married

caitlin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:12:21 +0000

I was so excited to photograph Brad and Beckie’s wedding as soon as I had wrapped up their engagement session. The love between the two of them was captivating and beautiful. I had heard so much about the notorious wedding party and as Saturday came upon us, once again the sky was open and the rain was coming down (I truly hope our summer arrives sooner rather than later).

We travelled to Sir James Whitney in Belleville after wrapping up a beautiful ceremony at Christ Church and braved the rain to capture some family shots before moving under some fantastic enclosures on the premises. The rain didn’t dampen the spirits and I was so happy to find some new fabulous locations to shoot.

After we left Sir James Whitney, we headed to Occasions By The Bay for the reception, dinner, dancing and fun!

Thank you again Brad and Beckie for allowing me to share in your special day, all the best as you begin this life together.

Ryan and Julie are Engaged!

A couple weeks ago I met up with Ryan and Julie for their engagement shoot at Birdhouse City in Prince Edward County. We spent some time touring around and having some fun.

Here are just a few pics from their shoot.

Ashley and Patrick on the blog

There are so many things I love about living in Canada… our rapidly changing weather is not always one of my faves though. After a beautiful Easter long weekend of above twenty weather we hit the lows again over the weekend. Patrick and Ashley (who you might have seen on the blog before), embraced our crazy weather conditions and decided to move forth with their shoot rather than reschedule. I am so happy we got to go out. The day turned from a damp blowy morning into a well not to shabby chilly afternoon. We had a lot of fun bouncing around different settings at Birdhouse City on McCauley Mountain in Picton.

I have shot here a few times and it is still a beautiful location, I’m often surprised at the things we don’t see even though we visit a place often. The pond that sits just next to the parking lot had a beautiful walking trail that leads around to the top of it, and made for a beautiful spot.

(The one below is one of my favourites for the day)

There were a lot of giggles.

All in all it was a great day!

Thanks again Patrick and Ashley!

Blog posting and Niagara Falls

caitlin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:48:15 +0000

I find it slightly shameful how un blog savvy I have been over these last few months. I think it’s part and partial due to the fact that the level of shooting I do over the winter months probably drops considerably. That said, however, I think it’s mostly my lack of ideas.

This is a sad but true statement I’m not sure I should really admit to. I mean wedding photography requires me to always be thinking of new ways to be creative… yet here I sit blank minded, writing a blog about not writing blogs. I’m sure in some world this is a huge faux pas.

When I was younger you couldn’t tear me away from a computer. I was always writing short stories or attempting new novels. I’m not sure where I lost that sense. A few months ago I thought it would be fun to write a short story. My brain was lost. Is it possible that as we grow older one side of our brain takes over and the other falls to the wayside? As I grew as a photographer did my writing diminish?

On any note, my goal over the next two months is to dust off my writing and populate this space more… hound me if I fall short of this goal.

On a completely separate thought, this weekend I’m off to Niagara Falls, staying at the beautiful Holiday Inn. I will post pictures when I return (see a blog post in the works .

Until then…

Wedding Show Brochureware

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!
