Almost everyone spends thousands of dollars for your wedding photographer. And yes these photographers do an amazing job, and capture the days moments, but really they can’t be everywhere at one, although they do try to. Students at Columbia Business School created a website (www.olapic.com) that will gather all of the photo for the bride and groom from their guests. All the photos create an online album that you can share with everyone involved.

OLAPIC does have a free package, but it dose limit the number of photos you can download, so for an extra $55 give you unlimited download and six months of photo hosting. Also when you download the photos they are full quality. You can also order prints right online.

This is also a great idea to collect photos from other wedding related events, bridal showers, engagement parties, and your rehearsal dinner.

As an extreme animal lover (grew up on a farm and have three cats of my own) I would like to post a note as a great idea for your wedding. In lieu of favours to make a donation to the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Ontario SPCA)  Society. I can not beleive the conditions these animals were left in. One thing is for sure when I win the lottery one of the many things I will do is help all these abused & neglected animals. This would even make a great Christmas gift. I would love to get a donation in my honour for a Christmas gift. You could also help by volunteering your time as well as food (since they were getting feed food that was expired for years. Here is a link of other things you can do to help http://www.ontariospca.ca/3-more.shtml.

I had such a great time working at this wedding. Both Emily & Scott are so relaxed, down to earth and very family oriented, and don’t their families just love them. It is so to be at weddings that are filled with so much love and joy. Almost everyone who was involved with this wedding were friends of Emily & Scott or friends of the family. Even Brittany Ross, the fabulous photographer was a friend of the bride. Emily & Scott were married on a beautiful sunny Saturday, June 27th, 2009 in the backyard to Emily’s brothers restaurant Balsam Bistro. After the ceremony they took amazing photos done by Brittany Ross Photography at the Leuty Lifeguard Station located in the Beaches where Emily & Scott we both raised and now reside. Later they received their guests at the Argonauts Rowing Club. They beautiful flowers were done by GeniusLoci Fine Flowers. The guests enjoyed a delicious meal from D&S Catering and danced the night away with  DJ Mike Harding. Oh and by the way, Emily (the bride) designed and made all the bridesmaid dresses, she did such a fabulous job, I guess her background in Fashion helped a bit.       

Emma Gordon sells fabulously fantastic handbags that she personally makes by hand in her own home. She also does custom orders which are great for your bridesmaids. This are great gift and at a great price.

About Emma Gordon:
Emma Gordon London is a one-woman show set up in 2003 by me, Emma Gordon.
I work from home in my little studio hand-making every order from start to finish myself. I should think about getting some outside help in as I do work very long hours – but then it just wouldn’t be the same…
I am proud of the personal service I am able offer, and I try to make shopping with me that that bit more special.

How she got started:
I was tired of only being able to buy mass-produced goods in the shops that were being worn by thousands of other people too, so I decided to do something about it!
I began by setting up a small stall at Spitalfields Fashion Market in London’s East End. I was soon noticed and approached by several boutiques that wanted to stock my bags and the rest, as they say, is history.
‘Emma Gordon London’ can be found in boutiques around the world, including the USA, Singapore, Australia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Spain and South Korea.
My signature style is ‘ladylike with a twist’ using pretty colours, quirky detailing and delicate trims. As every bag is handmade, this achieves the unique ‘one-off’ style that has so far proved very popular with my customers.
I take my inspiration from everything elegant, from the light-hearted glamour of Audrey Hepburn in ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’ to the gorgeous pin-up girls of the 1950’s.

This engagement session was photographed by the amazing Jill Thomas. Those of you who know me, know that I am a huge fan of photographer, I follow numerous amounts of photography blogs everyday. I first saw these enegagement photos features on The Brides Cafe. I just love her dresses, I can not wait to see these wedding photos.

Rosa Clara is an amazing Spanish Designer. I just love her gowns. Take a look at a few of them, check out her website for more www.rosaclara.es. These dresses are beautiful, so elegant with a little bit of a vintage feel.
