Kiss The Bride

the look of love...

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Clark) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:27:00 +0000

There's nothing more precious than when two people share that look of love or that sweet moment of quiet adoration. These couples, all whom I've had the pleasure of working with, are seen here doing just that. :)

Sunny Sunday

I think I won the lottery when it comes to the good looking & adorable people I get to work with! This couple is no exception! Their fall PEI wedding couldn't have been any sweeter and they had some fantastic weather to work with at 25 degrees on a sunny Sunday afternoon in October! Congrats Ryan & Julie!!

Special thanks to The Confederation Centre for having us that evening!

Stefan Davidson, a Halifax based photographer doing what he does best! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Stepping Out (of the box)

Monique Lhuillier

Vera Wang

Bridal style has evolved so much over the years but one thing that stands out is the ever changing colour trends of bridal gowns. These Monique Lhuillier & Vera Wang gowns are from the Spring 2012 Collections respectively. They are neither white, ivory nor cream. Instead we see pale pink, soft yellow, light and dark taupe. It's nice to see non traditional colours from time to time. :)

Yellow Wedding Theme

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Clark) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:22:00 +0000

My 10 year old daughter has a thing for yellow, at least this week anyway. So I was inspired to post a few of my favourite photos of yellow colour schemes. Aside from being bright, happy and fun - yellow goes with just about any other colour!

The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.

Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway ---
Thanksgiving comes again!

Continuing on with my iPhone albums, I'm sharing a few more shots taken at another July wedding this season. These two were the sweetest couple!! Married on July 30th, 2011 in Charlottetown, they came all the way to PEI from Grand Cayman to get married!

What A Summer!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Clark) — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 21:54:00 +0000

This has been such a whirl wind of a summer! It's gone by so quickly and I cannot believe it is over! My awesome couples had me everywhere from Cape Pele, NB to nearly every part of PEI over the last few months. I enjoyed keeping tabs on everyone via my iPhone and have posted a few photos along the way on Twitter and Facebook. I'll be blogging those candid photos from some of my weddings which I've taken while on the job during the wedding season of 2011!

These photos are from Shawn & Marie-Eve's NB wedding on July 2nd!

A Perfect Day For Will & Kate!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Clark) — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:20:00 +0000

What a fantastic day for William and Kate! A flawless wedding for two people who represent such hope for the future as a king and queen! They are so beautiful to look at. Kate is the epitome of style, beauty and grace. William who is absolutely gorgeous, is a reflection of his mother and you can see such kindness in his eyes. I am completely smitten with them.

Their wedding was magical, a true fairytale!

why taste testing is important

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Clark) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 23:50:00 +0000

I'm going to get on my soap box for just a moment on the subject of taste testing. This is something that most couples have come to expect from their venue. I have to say, I don't blame them. Believe it or not, there are still venues out there that do not offer any sort of taste testing for their clients at all or they ask the clients to pay to taste the food. Yep, it's true.

The taste testing is very important for brides and grooms in choosing which menu they want for their wedding meal. After all, let's face it, at $40.00 and up per person plus tax, plus grats, plus plus plus - this portion of the wedding often eats up half of the over all budget. It's important. It's also one of the top priorities that couples have when asked what matters to them the most. They want their guests to be well fed!

How can they know they are choosing the right meal for their guests if they aren't given the opportunity to try it, and why should they have to pay to do so? They shouldn't! How can a venue ask their clients who are bringing them potentially tens of thousands of dollars worth of revenue to pay to taste the food or not offer any opportunity for them to try it at all? You get to test drive a car before buying it. Imagine if you had to buy a car without ever being allowed to drive it, or being told you had to pay to do so? Or you had to purchase an outfit without being able to try it on first because that liberty was not granted to you? Mmm hmmm, that's what I thought - you don't like it one bit.

It's part of my job to stand up for my clients and to be their advocate so let it be said that this is my honest to goodness opinion: clients deserve to be given the opportunity to taste the food at their chosen venue before ordering 200 plates of it. So come on, all those venues out there - make sure you are thinking about the brides and grooms who are scraping the bottom of their wallets to pay for all of those meals!

I'll get off my soap box now! ;)

Happy Easter!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Clark) — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:42:00 +0000

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter!

I'm giving in!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Clark) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 17:54:00 +0000

I've been quiet, oooh so quiet about the royal wedding. The world is buzzing over every single detail so I decided that I would stay out of it. But I just can't! It's exciting! I can't wait to see Kate's dress, the flowers, her hair! Excuuuuse me for being a girl (one who lives and breathes weddings none the less). WeddingBells.ca did a feature today on Canadian dress designers who designed dresses for Kate's big day!
Which one do you love the most?
