The chance to memory-make for posterity on your wedding day happens but once, and you want to ensure that its captured for posterity, just the way you imagined it would be.
It is important when choosing your Windsor/Essex County wedding photographer, that you and your fiancé discuss first, what pictures you definitely couldn’t live without and then, the rest will fall into place in the order of their importance and wedding day sequence.
This area has great photography talent within all different budget ranges and shooting styles, but be sure to ask for references and to see a sampling of their work. Ask if someone else will be appointed to your job, or if it will be the person who you meet with.
We also boast great location shots from the urban centre to county beaches and vineyard estates. Want to feel like fashion models? There’s the zany and fun “Trash the Dress” session, as well as post-wedding picture-taking in unique and innovative locales.
Are you a traditional bride that wants the posed, tried and true pictures of your mother’s generation, or would you prefer a more candid, photo- journalistic style? Or, perhaps a combination of both?
What you don’t want to do is accept a gesture of kindness from a relative or friend who offers to take your pictures for you. Unless they are professionally trained, it is a risky proposition to agree to this kind of arrangement , although the offer is generous.
If your pictures don’t turn out well, or if the camera breaks or that person doesn’t show up- you have no second chance to make it right.
When establishing your budget for photography, budget a little extra, if your wedding photos and albums are an area of priority for the two of you. It will give you the flexibility to do that little extra, that you can look back at years from now with fond memories.
Today’s couples are putting their signature statement on every aspect of their wedding day planning and photography is no exception. From your “Save the Date” cards, shower invitations, rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself, there will be many beautiful memories made and your images will be captured many times. By spending the time and deciding what it is that will make you both really happy, you will be relaxed and radiant in all your pictures. And, your photographer will be by your side documenting your day, exactly the way it occurred!

TONIGHTS THE NIGHT THAT 1 LUCKY BRIDE WILL TAKE HOME A BOODLE OF PRIZES WORTH OVER $16,000 IN BRIDAL IDOL COMPETITION!
With only a handful of Bridal Idol Contests around the world, Bridal Idol 2010 in its 2nd year, is unique, innovative and fun. More importantly, it gives a couple a great start to their marriage by providing prizes that change their life and save them a bundle of money.
Working with 2 clubs for 7 weeks, ( The Whiskey Rock and Roll Bar and The Victoria Tavern) the clubs saw their places filled to capacity as the 30 brides took to the stages.
Narrowing the competition to 10 finalists only was a tough job for this year’s preliminary judges. The competition is good and the calibre of talent is exceptional. This area has a great plethora of singers that have polish and gusto. Although this is an amateur contest, it has grit and spirit and competitiveness is alive and well.
Tonight will be a full house as the brides perform to their friends, families and wedding parties.
We thank AM800CKLW and Bluesfest International, Windsor, Ontario for their terrific support in sponsoring this event.
We also want to thank the Preferred Wedding Guide professionals who provided the grand assortment of prizes for this event. You are the best and we salute you for your wedding expertise and professionalism in your selected fields.
