Real Wedding - Jen hearts Josh

In May we had the pleasure of working with a wonderfully unique couple that put amazing touches all over their wedding!  From their engagement shoot, where they donned matching heart t-shirts to the end of the reception, where guests toasted the couple with cookies & milk shooters we knew this love was meant to be.  The National Gallery provided the perfect backdrop for their vows underneath a cherry blossom chuppah.  Live music filled the air while the guests dined at chef attended stations provided by Tulips and Maple.  And lucky for us, Miv Photography was on hand to capture all the fabulous details we love so much, enjoy...

40 Under 40 Awards

What a great night for Ottawa and it's Top 40!

“New beginnings” may have been a theme of Thursday night’s Forty Under 40 awards gala but, for many recipients, remembering the lessons of the past are the keys to continued success. 

 This year’s event, held at the Hilton Lac-Leamy, was the 15th anniversary of OBJ’s Forty Under 40 awards, which have evolved from a newspaper feature to one of the premiere events of the year for Ottawa’s business community.

And Marry Me Productions was an honour to be a recipient of this wonderful award.

Recipients were selected based on their business achievements, expertise and community involvement.   

Even better, the event raised $8,986 for the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health.

HELP MARRY ME RUN FOR THE CURE!

As you all know Marry Me Productions is a proud supporter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and this October we are once again participating in the Run for the Cure.

 The Breast Dress Project has raised over $30,000 since 2009 

and last year the entire team ran in wedding dresses!  

We have set a goal this year for our team of $15,000 and are confident we can beat that amount!

This year we have also decided to use our Facebook fan page to raise our entry fee.  

For every fan that signs up between now and the race Marry Me will donate $1 to our entry goal.  

So we need 300 fans to sign up now.

Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your colleagues and help Marry Me Run for the Cure!!

In addition to our fundraising initiatives, monetary donations can be made on behalf of Stacey Price to the following link:

ENGAGE 11 PHOTOS DAY 1

Today I had to thesaurus the word "WOW" to see how else I can explain the wedding industry brilliance that has been a part of this event in San Diego:

Admiration, Applause, Appreciation, Esteem, Praise, Regard, Respect

are all words that don't even begin to describe the incredible people I have met so far.

The wedding industry as a whole is in for some big changes in the next few years and 

Marry Me Productions promises to be at the forefront of those changes.  

We are committed to pushing the envelope with regards to design, we are committed to executing our clients vision with 100% accuracy and we are committed to bringing our clients a fresh perspective that makes their wedding day uniquely theirs.

Here are some images from the fabulous Jessica Claire of how our first day looked:
