Long time no talk!

Well Hello!!! It has been over two months since I blogged anything!!! I've been putting it off because I'm working on a fabulous new blogsite, but due to many glitches along the way it has been delayed. Soon it will be here, and I'm hoping everyone will love it.

So for now I'll use this one for all announcements. Here is #1:

 

Bringing Sexy Back {boudoir marathon} 

 

Treat yourself {or your partner} to a sexy & fun photo session with Christy!

Sessions include professional hair, make-up, mini manicure & pedicure and your photo session with Christy. The whole event is at our office/studio space with a variety of sets including an awesome claw foot bathtub.
Snacks & refreshments will be provided.
Albums or prints will be here in time for Valentine's Day!!!
All sessions will take place on January 8th. Allow 2-3 hours for your pampering and special photo shoot.

 

Session & disc of 10 images to print/share as you like $400
Session & 25 4x6 inch prints in gift box $400
Session & both the 4x6 prints and the disc of 10 images $450
Session & an 8x8 custom album with 30 images $550
3 sessions will be available without the hair, make up and nails, at the beginning of the day, for $120 off the above pricing

Sessions will be booked in groups of 3 so if you want to you can book at the same time as your girlfriends and visit during the pamper portion of your time. The photo shoot will be done one-on-one with Christy only...unless you want a friend to boost your confidence. You can, of course, book all by yourself but will be hanging out with some new friends during the pampering part.

Email Christy with any questions at all or to book your time!

I actually announced this session on Facebook and via an email promotion so I only have a few spots left, one at 11 am and some at 1pm as well as some without hair and make-up first thing.

And announcement #2 is that the Owen Sound Bridal Show is next weekend Saturday January 15th from 10-4 at the Bayshore Community Centre. Come visit me there!!

Keith & Sarah's Big Day! {Owen Sound Weddings}

I'd been looking forward to this wedding for so long now. I did Keith & Sarah's engagement last fall and had a great shoot with them, even though one of my cameras decided to die that day (always carry at least 2!). I was also excited to be shooting at Stone Tree in Owen Sound for the first time since they've done some major upgrades on the property...it looks awesome!

The big day finally arrived and this gorgeous couple did not disappoint!

Love the new garden ceremony site at Stone Tree! We had some iffy weather with rain all morning on and off. It cleared for the ceremony but if you look close at the end of ceremony photos you will see rain and lots of it. There was a downpour immediately after they were introduced as man and wife.

After doing the family formals indoors due to crazy rain we headed over to the More Estate for some wedding party shots. It is a great spot for photos, in fact so great that we weren't alone that day. We came across a second wedding party with their crazy fun photographer {Nat} and decided to fight it out....soooo funny! The other group even had the same colour for bridesmaid's dresses!

We left the others behind and ventured a bit further into the gardens for photos of the love birds alone.

I had a great time despite the stress of rain, Thanks guys!

Tim & Stephanie {Owen Sound Wedding Photography}

I was so excited to do this wedding for a few reasons. For starters I know most of this crew, especially the guys. We've done two of the other groomsman's weddings so I knew exactly who the trouble makers were going to be ahead of time. The other reason for excitement is that Steph has great style...so classic!

We did a few photos at Steph's grandparents place out at Cobble Beach before heading to the ceremony site down the shore.

After the ceremony we headed to one of my favourite locations for photos...I've been there a lot this season but I'm still loving it!

I loved the dresses, my favourite fabric and POCKETS! Even the brides dress had pockets!

We really took advantage of the huge gardens and were only a few minutes late for the reception...sorry Tim and Rob (wedding planner)!

Rob & crew at Wilma's Flowers did a great job of transforming the Bayshore for Steph & Tim. Amazing cake & cupcakes, gorgeous chandeliers and yummy food by The Green Door Cafe!

Thanks for having me, more to come soon!! 

Cheers, Christy

Durham Ontario Wedding {Wedding Day Photography}

I don't get to Durham area very often so I had to spend some time scouting locations for Lisa & Blake's Big Day! Lisa was planning the wedding from Nashville, she is a singer/songwriter, so there was a lot of internet communication between the two of us. We weren't sure where to do the after ceremony photos so I did some driving and happened upon a lovely farm that had a sold sign on it. A little investigating and we contacted the owners who were so pleased to let us use their new farm for photos...Thanks Heidi & Peter!

Some detail shots for the musician bride.

Lisa's little pup helping her get dressed!

One of the other locations I loved in Durham with the guys before the ceremony.

Then out to the farm!!

Love, love, love this field for their photos.

My favourite!

I had a great time guys, Thanks for having me!!

Sunny Walters Falls Wedding {Grey-Bruce Wedding Photographer}

Our area has really become a destination for weddings! So many of the couples I meet are not local and some don't even have ties to the Owen Sound area. This couple was definitely and example of this new phenomenon. Although Chanelle does have family in the south end of Bruce County, she and Quinton currently live in Flin Flon, Manitoba. Quinton is certainly not local coming from South Africa! So in this case and many like it I didn't really get to spend much time with them until the big day. Gotta love technology as it makes the process of planning via the internet (or interwebs if your a Bush fan) very easy.

The two of them decided on the lovely Inn at Walters Falls to host their big day.

Beautiful sunny and oh so HOT day. Good thing Meg and the crew had just installed their new air conditioning unit!

Up near the meadow.

The brave wedding party...that 'bridge' always makes me nervous.

Love this one of them!

The Falls...

This is Holly's photo, she was my second shooter for the day and did a great job as always.

We even had time to venture a bit which rarely happens on a wedding day.

And...the food....mmmmm, so good!!

Quinton is so far the best dancer that I've seen for a first dance!!!

Thanks for having Holly & I for your big day, enjoy!!
