2012 – This one’s on us Contest

Spencer — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:48:57 +0000

For the past 2 years we have run a contest where we gave away a portrait session. This year will be no different as we love getting out and meeting people. In the past we have asked for likes or other things from you in order to enter. We have decided not to ask for things like that this time around.

This time we want you to send us your ideas for a creative portrait session and throughout the year as our calendar allows we will be contacting a select few to set up sessions. So whether you have the best location, most outrageous props, funkiest wardrobe we want to hear it all.

If you are a couple, a high school senior, actor, musician, pregnant, want to trash your dress , etc. we want to hear from you. The beauty is there is no idea that isn’t worth sending our way; so just do it!

Plain and simple just send us your ideas for a portrait session. We will select entrants throughout the year for a free session. Ideas must be submitted by February 15^th 2012 so on your mark, get set and write! Send your ideas by email to info@brawns.ca.

Theresa and I will read the entries and will make a decision together. Some limitations may apply, such as availability & location, but don’t let that discourage you from writing us.

Tiffany and Randy – Engaged

It’s funny that I write about clients and their connections all the time, however when it comes to my own sisters engagement photos, I draw a blank. Maybe it’s because I have too many things to say. We are looking forward to getting some more done when the weather warms up a bit as shooting in December can be quite cold. I guess that just means lots of cuddling! Theresa and I are so excited for their wedding next summer that we are trying our very best to not take over the planning. Rather than blather on about how happy we are for Tiffany and Randy, we will just let the photos talk.

Just a quick one from a recent session. He has huge heart and she has an infectious smile and laugh.

Liana and Gavin – Married

Spencer — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 13:36:43 +0000

When I first met with Liana and Gavin and they started to tell me about their wedding, I quietly got quite excited. The location and the details were sure not to disappoint. Theresa and I have lived in Nanaimo for a long time but had never made it over to Gabriola Island, this was our chance to get over there. The Dragons Lodge is an absolutely gorgeous location and the rest of the island lends itself to a great photographic locations. Liana and Gavin, we wish you many years of happiness and we thank you for letting us be a part of your day. Without spoiling too much more, we will let the photos do the talking.

Kyle & Kristi – Married

Theresa — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 13:29:13 +0000

We had the opportunity to first meet Kyle & Kristi on their engagement session. We knew right then that we were in for something special for their wedding. We love having the opportunity to work with couples prior to their wedding day as it really helps everyone feel comfortable together and get used to being in front of a camera, and Kyle and Kristi were no different. They listen to my poor nonsensical ramblings on how to move and pose and soon we were all working together which makes a big difference come wedding day. It was nice to see the guestbook that we made from their engagement session at their wedding, it fit right in with their decor!

Kyle and Kristi’s wedding took place at beautiful Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort & Conference Centre. Their ceremony was touching, as both Kyle & Kristi wrote their own vows; we personally love when couples choose do do this as it adds such a personal touch. It had us both laughing and choking back the tears. The party that followed was loads of fun as this crowd really knows how to dance!

We said it once and we will say it again, your group of friends and family are a great group. Thank you for allowing us to spend such an important day with you (and your friends & family). We know you have a great future ahead of you. Here is to your happily ever after!
