I’m really getting on my high horse a bit lately huh? We’ll be back to engagement party planning soon, promise.
But I saw this post on A Los Angeles Love today, and had to bring attention to it. It’s pretty much what I was trying to say here and here about the lack of diversity in [...]

Okay, I know these have been a long time coming – I’ve simply been too busy/lazy to put them online! But here they are finally – you can see the set of photos here. I’ve decided to just put a small set of my favourites online because honestly I feel a little strange putting up [...]

So the ‘engagement shoot’ went really really well! I was a little nervous to begin with as mentioned previously, but Jenny of Allyeska Photography got us to just be natural and overall it felt really fun and easy rather than cheesy and forced. Poor Jenny wasn’t feeling completely well but trooped on and did an [...]

Initially we weren’t planning on doing an ‘engagement shoot’ – hell, I didn’t even know there was such a thing until I started looking at wedding stuff. But I did a logo and website for a photographer friend, Allyeska, and part of her payment is a photo shoot! We’ve been putting it of for months [...]

I came across this post today through my photographer… and thought it was worth sharing. My planning so far has been very me-centric, so I hadn’t put any thought at all to potential conflicts between different vendors and making it easy for them to do their job unhindered. I hadn’t planned on getting a professional [...]

So we’ve decided to do our photos before the ceremony rather than after, starting with a bit of a private moment where The Boy and I can see each other for the first time on the day, something called a ‘first look’ or ‘first glimpse’. Since our ceremony will be before lunch it’s going to [...]

Holy crap guys, things are starting to move! I know it’s possibly a little early to start booking things, but since we’ve decided on a date in early October, which is the most popular month for weddings, I want to make sure I don’t miss out. I also don’t see the point in putting things [...]

I wonder if I could talk my dad into making me one of these? The tutorial for it on Ruffled doesn’t look too difficult. Except with a less floral wallpaper – maybe something like this?
Most mentions of backdrops I’ve seen suggest taping it to a wall, but this seems like a more elegant solution (and [...]

It has arrived!
After I last posted about this camera, I was all set to buy it. But just before I went to make the payment I remembered that at occasions where I would want to take a video, I usually take still photos. I’m just a hobbyist photographer, but I have spent a decent amount [...]

A wedding video is something that I wasn’t really interested in – I know it’s supposed to be one of the things I’d ‘regret not having after!’, but we’re not really the type to sit down and watch home movies. I feel entirely justified in putting any budget that would have gone towards videography into [...]
