This was Plan C. Finishing up 2020 with these two beautiful souls on NYE-perfect. Alix and Andrew, 4942 days of love so far. The first image pretty much encapsulates metaphorically what 2020 was for weddings and couples, my business and life last year. Shutter drag-everything slowed down, double exposure-time to look at our beautiful lives, readjust things, look again and be thankful, despite the pain in and around us. The light still shone down on the couples-just a little more focused than before Happy New Year. With Love Bridal Boutique @flowershopkemptville

Amanda and Martin-Their journey from the disappointment of rescheduling their dream wedding day to having a micro-wedding during Covid restrictions. Here is a sneak peek of their day. More of the story of the day and how it turned out on the blog (link in photos below) "As our original date was approaching, we were hit with heavy hearts and we both could not imagine waiting another year. This ultimately made our decision to go with an idea Phillipa had presented to us in Apr...il. We couldn’t imagine waiting another year with all the unknown and uncertainty. Phillipa had everything organized and ready to go, including flowers, music, officiant. We were so thrilled and excited that we were making our dreams come true after all for this year. I am a huge stress ball and having the micro-wedding was a breeze. I even remember Phillipa saying during our pictures ‘ Amanda you are really relaxed today’ . It was so simple to plan everything as she already had it all set out. This made having a micro-wedding in 2020, stress free, easy and such a relief."

Tomorrow i am going to announce something new I have been working on-so excited. Hopefully others will be too!

I just found this unpublished blog, I have no idea why it wasn’t published, how did I missed doing so? Life was a blur back then, always too busy, something I didn’t fully comprehend until about May of this past year. It was published and printed in Ottawa Wedding Magazine and looked beautiful. I had only loaded the photos, their wedding was almost 2 years ago and I started the blog post in April 2019!?! A few images had been loaded, the text boxes were all empty. To find i...Continue reading
