you called your mother 1. Call those people who are really


close to you to tell them the good news, you’re thinking, “but isn’t it quicker just posting an announcement on Facebook or announcing it though social media?” Of course it is, but share the news with them in person or at least call. 2. Get your ring sized and insured 3. Set a date - even if it’s not the ac-


tual date yet, so many people will ask “so when’s the wedding?” and if you and your partner have agreed on Summer of 2019 that at least gives people an idea, 4. Setup a wedding only email ea.

doesn’t that feel great to not to call him your boyfriend anymore? Go celebrate, paint the town red, and try not to talk about anything wedding related - I prom- ise you there will be lots of wedding talk 7. Get a wedding planner, not an actual


person - at least not yet. So many Apps you can download now, or get a Wedding Organizer from A Book Store. 8. Tink about having a wedding co-

am Peggy, a Professional Wedding Photographer all the way from South Africa and now a very new and super


planned. I don’t have a story like my dad gave me his old camera when I was six and that’s when my passion for photography began. I found photography, or should I say photography found me, later in life when I decided to move from South Africa to Winnipeg. “If you love what you do, you will never


work a day in your life.” Photography to me, is not a job – it is


a passion. For many photographers, our passion is seen in our ability to capture split-second moments in a beautiful way that will leave you laughing and crying all over again – even 20 years from now. We take great pride in creating once-in-a- lifetime wedding memories and moments that will be captured in images that will be displayed in your home for a lifetime! Every moment shared together as a

newlywed couple is a memory that should never be forgotten. With the stress of finding the perfect dress (along with the perfect husband), your wedding photog- rapher should not be chosen lightly. Our focus is always to catch the essence of each couple by turning every intimate look into an image that says so much more than a thousand words ever could. Tere are a number of wedding photog-


raphers, myself included, who continue to push the boundaries of creativity, ensur- ing for beautiful, yet timeless wedding images where the focus is always on tell- ing your unique wedding story. I’ve attended and taken part in numer-


ous weddings. I’ve been a Maid of Honour, a bridesmaid, a guest, and even planned my own wedding. Now I observe from behind my camera, and I look forward to sharing my insight and experience with all of you. Read my Blog ‘Happy ever after starts


here’ over the next couple of months to get some ideas, inspiration, advice, tips and tricks to help you plan the Wedding of your dreams , within your budget and with minor hiccups.


Story is unfolding and one of these days you’ll get to call him your Husband. Looking forward to sharing - Lets get this Party Started in my Next Blog.
