Do you need an Engagement shoot

November 16, 2015 / no comments

Engagement shoot are great for practising! Most photographers often include complimentary engagement sessions for their wedding photographer clients. This is hugely important for both the photographer and the couple. It’s a great way for you to get comfortable both with being photographed and with the photographer. It also gives the photographer a great opportunity to get comfortable with your personalities and styles.

Are you or your partner camera shy? Most people that are camera shy tend to hate being photographed and this could make for awkward photos. Your photographer will work with you to make you more comfortable, relaxed so that you look more natural.

Arboretum Engagement: Claire and Chris

July 20, 2015 / no comments

With impeccable timing, the shoot began in the evening just as the sun was starting to set. The light streaming through the trees of the Arboretum Park made for some captivating photos of the couple.

Mike & Ness spent the golden evening hours shooting over the arches of the Arboretum Bridge.

Of course, being from Canada’s capital, Claire and Chris are both huge hockey enthusiast and share the same love for the Ottawa Senators. That being said, they wanted their engagement photos to reflect their true personalities of being a young fun couple with an enjoyment for the true Canadian sport. Claire & Chris arranged an engagement shoot at an arena in Ottawa, which seems like they had a lot of fun doing!

The two recently tied the knot at the RA Center on July 11th, 2015 where both the ceremony and reception took place. We cannot wait to blog about the fabulous time we had and to reveal its darling decor. Stay tuned, as it will be featured on our blog in the next few weeks!

Today, our Monday moment features our very own Ella Rose Swinimer, owner of RSVP Events. Not only does Ella have a passion for planning and organizing social affairs but she is also an amazing photographer and videographer! Ella comes from a background in Media and Communications and has spent her professional time over the last eight years as production coordinator and project manager on a variety of projects, both for commercial and non-profit organizations. Aside from managing RSVP Events, Ella is also the Director of Business Development at Media Expert; a full film production service and started Two Rings Video.

Having quiet the extensive background in filming and production, it is no surprise many of our clients request to book Ella as their wedding or events photographer for the big day! Having expertise in both fields allows Ella to gain a professional perspective as the two complement each other perfectly. For this reason, Ella is able to capture unique footage for each individual client as she understands and coordinates the exact style and angles to use depending on the specific occasion.

Below are some of our beautiful weddings captured by Ella Rose Swinimer. All our brides have been thrilled with the end result, and are pleased to have footage of such a memorable day they can now watch and share time and time again.

PPS Couture is a new collection founded by Charlotte Hale and is the newest addition to the Plum Pretty Sugar brand. With having spent many years practicing the art of ballet, Charlotte’s past has given her a creative vision to design gowns for a breezy easy-lifestyle. Continuing with her signature look that started Plum Pretty Sugar, the new collection includes beautiful handcrafted gowns made from delicate chiffon and stunning silks. PPS Couture is made up of four feminine pieces, each covered with ethereal floral prints and blossoming silhouettes. Although the collection emphasizes femininity, Charlotte’s separates her gowns, from other collections by using boyish names to personalize each one.

If you are awaiting a unique, enchanting, flower like dress, RSVP recommends checking out the new PPS collection! Each gown is beautifully handcrafted in the USA and made from only the finest fabrics.

Monday Morning Spotlight: Taylor Roades Photography

June 8, 2015 / no comments

Today’s spotlight shines on a young photographer from Victoria, BC, Taylor Roades. Although, she is fairly new to the business, her photos show nothing but pure talent. Taylor has a unique style and an eye to capture a moment that is so pure; she sees what most of us simply miss.

Over the past four years, photography has taken Taylor across the world. Her adventures entail traveling through the Canadian Rockie Mountains all the way to the Scottish Highlands- shutter clicking every step of the way. Aside from Taylor’s very well documented life, she has also photographed weddings across Canada, England and the Bahamas!

There is no doubt, Taylor has busy summer ahead full with weddings, which is why RSVP Events was thrilled to have come across such an amazing young artist! Keep your eyes open this 2015; I am sure we will be seeing Taylor Roades capture many important occasions this year.

Although, we are in love with all Taylor Roades’ photos, below are some of our favourites.
