Working with Noteworthy Designs

This past weekend was extra special due to the fact that I had the chance to work with Laura at Noteworthy Designs. Laura was the wedding planner for this extremely elegant event and it was such a pleasure working at her side. I thought I would post just a FEW of MANY details that Laura played a role in organizing, in order to show off some of her great ideas and attention to detail. The wedding was absolutely stunning, and I know that the bride and groom were ecstatic with Laura's work ethic during the whole process. I think their quote was "we couldn't have done this all without you Laura. Thank you sooo much!" during their speech to their guests. Held at the beautiful Desert Blume, here a few of my favorite reception details and ideas that Laura helped with. Of course I will post more of the actual wedding couple soon, but this post is dedicated to the wonderful Laura Hit with Noteworthy Designs. Thank you Laura for being such a pleasure to work with! Your amazing talent hasn't gone unnoticed! Keep up the fabulous work!


The beautiful head table! I simply adored the floor length chair covers! They made the whole room feel so romantically elegant.

I love love love Desert Blume! The staff is exceptional, the room is accommodating, and this decor made such a beautiful place even more so. This set up is one of my favorites thus far. Simply beautiful.

This was my place setting :)


This vinyl decal is quite possibly one of the neatest ideas I have ever seen! Placed above the fire place, this touch definitely added a "wow" factor. I couldn't believe how strategically it was placed .... not one bubble ... it looked as if it was permanently designed right into the fire place! This mantel was also an added touch .... adding even more to that "wow" factor.



Ahh, you have got to love the "after a wedding" look. After giving my camera to a slightly tipsy bridesmaid (lol) Laura and I were able to capture this extremely attractive look.

ImpaKt Makeup Artistry

Lately I have been working with a lovely person named Tammy Nunweiler. I had the absolute pleasure of helping her design her business cards, and watch her start her very own business (ImpaKt Makeup Artistry). Tammy recently obtained her certification within the makeup industry and has started a fabulous portfolio showcasing her work. Tammy is an extremely friendly, likable, ambitious woman, and I have really enjoyed getting to know her better. ImpaKt Makeup Artistry is a unique and convenient service since Tammy will come to you on your special day. Please have a look at her blog to view the beginning of her portfolio. I think you will all agree that she is very good at what she does! Thank you Tammy for allowing me to help in the beginning stages of your business and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!!

New Website has launched!!

I am pleased to announce that Niki with Snickerdoodle Design has helped me revise and update my website. She did an absolutely fabulous job! Thank you for all of your hard work Niki, you are the best! This version is now complete with new slideshows and MUSIC!! yay! I think it really helps set the mood, and with the new gallery additions, I was able to add allot more portfolio work without bogging down a single gallery. You will also notice that Flare Photography is no longer doing family sessions, graduations, business cards, or glamour. I am now going to focus 100% of my time and effort towards my true passion .... Couples in love. Flare Photography will now be exclusively offering engagement and wedding services. I am also starting to offer fine art prints. Fine art is another passion of mine ... and it helps me maintain a balance between work and play within my business. Fine art prices are yet to be posted, so keep an eye out! I hope everyone is equally as excited about the launch of the new site as I am! Please feel free to check it out and let me know what you think by posting a comment on this blog post .... just click on "comment" below and type away! www.flarephoto.ca
