YI is Getting Married: Engagement Photos

A few weeks ago Mr. M and I were thrilled to the bone.  um, make that chilled to the bone but equally thrilled to do our engagement photos with Alvis at Bliss Pictures.

I'm hoping the cool windy weather will be the complete opposite during our destination wedding day but how can I complain when I had Mr. M to snuggle up to during our session.  We hit the downtown streets of PA and then found our way out to White Water area.  It took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to be doing and Mr. M made it look so easy, I mean just look at him, such a natural.  Alvis was a lot of fun and took his time to capture these romantic and touching photos.  I can't wait to see what our wedding photos will be like.  Yes, we are bringing Alvis and his spectacular wife Sam to our destination wedding.

Now since this is the first time I mentioned we are having a destination wedding, wouldn't you like to know where we are going and when? Patience my friends, the details are coming together and I am looking forward to sharing them with you.

Wedding Wishes Formal Affair 2010

Can you believe November is almost here! Time flies when your planning weddings.

If you're a bride than this is good news because it means the Wedding Wishes Formal Affair will be here soon.  It's always a great event with endless inspiration at every turn.

Be prepared!

-Ususally around 300 brides attend this event and when everyone brings 2-5 people with them it can get crowded and very warm. Dress accordingly and bring water in a reusable bottle.

-I think the fashion shows are great but it's also a good time to visit vendors without a crowd of people around.

-You may be filling out a lot of ballots for prizes so consider bringing return address labels.

-Print out the floor plan and list of vendors ahead of time so you can target what you are looking for but don't miss the great ones inbetween as well.

-There isn't a lot of time to spend at each booth so prepare any questions that are important to you?

-Consider bringing no more than 2 people with you. It is easy to get separated and distracted when it should be all about you.  Collect the information and then go over it with your wedding party.

-Pay attention to each vendor.  Although you may not want their services there may be something inspiring about them.  I've gotten ideas from their colour schemes, music being played, poses in photos, fonts...

Join YI and many other Thunder Bay wedding vendors on Sunday, November 7 at the Valhalla Inn. 
Visit  Wedding Wishes for more information.

I'll be in the Scandia Room, come by and say hello!
