Wedding in the <strong>Glebe</strong>:<br />
Part 4<br />
BY EMILY BRASCOUPE<br />
Some people believe that a<br />
photograph is worth a thousand<br />
wordsI am one of those people.<br />
So naturally finding the perfect<br />
photographer is important to making<br />
my wedding memorable. The <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
and nearby neighbourhoods boast<br />
many reputable wedding photographers:Your<br />
first task is to identify<br />
the style of photographs you are<br />
interested in. The two main types of<br />
wedding photography are portrait<br />
and documentary. Portrait is a very<br />
traditional style, consisting of a<br />
posed group. Documentary-style<br />
photography will tell the story of<br />
your day, often starting while you<br />
prepare in the morning and<br />
continuing up to your first dance<br />
the shots are called "candids." Most<br />
photographers will offer both styles,<br />
but will usually specialize in one<br />
or you may be more attracted to one<br />
style than another. There are so<br />
many photographers in Ottawahere<br />
is a sampling.<br />
<strong>Report</strong>age photographer, Jennifer<br />
Buter, recommends using 20 per<br />
cent portrait and 80 per cent documentary-style<br />
photography. This is<br />
the ratio she tends to work with,<br />
unless otherwise requested by the<br />
couple. The combination offers<br />
flexibility in style and will give a<br />
finished product that will capture<br />
tasting memories. Jennifer is<br />
looking forward to her first season<br />
of wedding photography as she has<br />
recently moved to Ottawa from the<br />
photo fabulous!<br />
<strong>Report</strong>age studio in Vancouver. <strong>Report</strong>age<br />
wedding packages start at<br />
$1,150. To view Jennifer's portfolio<br />

Photolux Studio, at 197 Preston<br />
Street, recently won five first-place<br />
awards at the 25th annual Wedding<br />
and Portrait Photographers International<br />
Convention. I had the<br />
pleasure of meeting Frank Cava of<br />
Photolux at a bridal fair and was<br />
impressed with both his professionalism<br />
and his portfolio. The<br />
studio is known for its photojournalist<br />
style and is very popular.<br />
Custom coverage and packages are<br />
both availablewww. photolux<br />

Bill Grimshaw has been a career<br />
photojournalist since 1975. He now<br />
works in the <strong>Glebe</strong> as a wedding,<br />
editorial and freelance photojournalist.<br />
On his website, he<br />
specifies that he enjoys shooting<br />
wedding photographs in a relaxed<br />
photojournalist style. He has been<br />
very popular for his use of creativity<br />
while shooting. With all his years of<br />
experience, Grimshaw has an<br />
excellent portfolio and practical<br />
knowledge of wedding photography.<br />
Bill Grimshaw's pricing is specific<br />
to each wedding and he is willing to<br />
discuss pricing options with couples<br />
to meet their needs. For more<br />

Finally, I researched Andrew<br />
Balfour Photography, located on<br />
Holmwood Avenue. This studio was<br />
established in 1990. Andrew Balfour<br />
is a charismatic and experienced<br />
photographervery easy to talk to<br />
and full of great ideas for wedding<br />
photos. Balfour, who worked at<br />
other photography studios in Canada<br />
and the U.S.A. before opening his<br />
own studio, loves the opportunity to<br />
photograph weddings because of the<br />
singularity of each moment he<br />
shoots. Wedding packages listed on<br />
line start at $1,750, which includes<br />
an album of thirty 8"x10" photos.<br />

As I plan the last few details for<br />
my wedding, I cannot believe how<br />
fast time is passing. There is so much<br />
to do, but I often get given the good<br />
advice to take time for myself before<br />
the wedding. To stay relaxed, I take<br />
time to pray and meditate. I have<br />
also enjoyed renting funny wedding<br />
movies or watching my favourite<br />
sitcom weddings.<br />
