FouldsRoberts uses influences of fine art, history, & contemporary fashion to capture brides having fun & looking spectacular

Depending on who is behind the lens, wedding photography has the opportunity to take on a personality of its own while it tells your story. Jamie Roberts and Doug Foulds founded FouldsRoberts Photography three years ago with their own signature style of shooting. Jamie and Doug use the influence of fine art, historical photography, and contemporary fashion in their approach to documenting wedding days. "You'll have fun with us, and you'll look spectacular doing it. We'll give you the very best of both worlds: 'How-did-they-get-that-shot!' photojournalism that tells the story of your day, and breathtaking yet natural formals that capture the glamour of your wedding." True to their word, FouldsRoberts offers photography that doesn't just tell a story, but shows angles you'd never expect and beauty where you wouldn't have thought to look for it. Booking as much as a year in advance, FouldsRoberts is a true find for any bride who puts wedding photos at the top of her list of priorities. After three years of photographing weddings together, Doug Foulds and Jamie Roberts specialize in a... click for more

New designer makes trendy invites, décor and favours a snap

Erica Harrison believes that your wedding day truly begins with your invitation. "I love that the invitation sets the tone for your wedding day. Each piece gives your guests a taste of what's to come." With Erica, each stationary piece is hand-made, from your save-the-date cards to your thank you cards and even some of the favours. With Erica, there are no minimum orders for invitations and no rules. The more challenging your request is, the happier Erica is to make it happen, aiming to make sure that each set of wedding stationary carries the mood, theme, and personality of your wedding day within them. "My goal is to make each set as perfect as possible. I put my heart and soul into each one." Erica started her career in wedding invitation design in a roundabout way. She found that she has always had a thirst for 'all things creative'. This thirst took her to the International Academy of Design and Technology for Interior Design. After graduating and planning her own 2005 wedding, "I found the hands-on creative job of designing my own wedding invitations to be so rewarding that I decided I had... click for more

Subject: Article in the local newspaper

"Ok, So I am a little disturbed by the fact that they had mentioned A united states website, verses a canadian website in an article about brides on the web. First of all I am just biased against the other website, because I tried to order fans, from their wedding shop, but I had to have an american credit card and they only delivered to the states. So I guess if you are having a destination wedding... and have an american credit card, then it would be helpful... but... there was no mention of a great canadian local website..."

Subject: The Proposal

"so, I've been engaged since march, but just wrote my proposal down in my keepsake book and decided to post it on here. It was our 3 year anniversary and I had been staying at my parents house dog sitting for them. Chris has planned to come over in the afternoon and then we were going to go out for dinner as planned. Just before Chris arrived I received a gerbera daisy arrangement. In the afternoon Chris and I decided to go to the mall to kill some time before dinner. I didn't know where we were going for dinner, as he had planned it. I asked him when I needed to be ready for, so I knew when I had to start getting ready. At 6:00 we went outside to leave for dinner. At the end of the driveway was a stretched limo. I didn't think this was for us!! He said Happy Anniversary and told me he wanted to do something special for it, so decided to rent a limo. He had wine and coolers for us to have in the back of the limo. Before we went for dinner he said we had some time to kill, as our reservations were not until 7:00, so he mentioned that we go for a walk. We stopped at the covered bridge in Guelph, chatted, stood on the bridge, where he then got on his knee and proposed!!! (I cried!!! even though I knew it was coming at some point, as we had booked our hall before we were engaged. hehe) After that, we got back in the limo and went for dinner at the Other Brother's restaurant. we..."
