I’m happy to announce I’m bringing back my Mini Session Special this year now that I’m settled in Langley & with the option to upgrade to the full gallery! It can be so hard to narrow down the images from a session and pick your favourites, so now you can choose to upgrade to the entire gallery which includes all the edited digital images from your portrait session!

Mini Sessions are perfect for families – they’re short & sweet for the kids, or for couples just wanting to get a couple of new photos together. Sessions can be catered to you – maternity, family, children, couples – anniversary, engagement, in love!

Here’s all the details..

With the end of wedding season, the arrival of fall always brings with it the joy that’s also known as family sessions! I love being able to fill my calendar up in the Fall & Winter months with family sessions (as well as the odd boudoir or maternity session!) & so when Alisha contacted me back in summer to get ahead on booking her session it got me looking ahead to this autumn. I loved my time with this adorable family. They were filled with joy, warm smiles, contagious giggles & a never ending love for each other! Thanks for having me capture some forever memories for you guys <3 Here’s a few of my favs from our time together.

 

(I have limited November & December spaces, not many weekend spots remain. Head over to the Contact page or message me at info@megkristina.com to book yours today)

Congratulations! Your love proposed to you and now not only are you engaged but you have a whole wedding to plan as well! Getting engaged is such an exciting time for a couple, don’t get me wrong, but for many people this can also be a bit of an overwhelming time. From who sits where, who eats what, to what to wear and more. The decisions are endless and so are the possibilities. As you’re faced with all the different options that come with planning a wedding – choosing a venue, dress, photographer (hi!), videographer, florist, etc, it’s important to take it one step at a time.

1. Break the News!
   Whip out the iPhone, send out your texts, Instagram’s, tweets and shares – you get to celebrate with your loved ones.
2. Pick a Date
   Do you want a long or a short engagement? Do you have a “First Date” or other sentimental date in mind? Are there any important friends & family that might already have commitments on certain dates in the future? These kinds of things factor in when choosing what date you want.
3. Wedding Planner – Yay or Nay?!
   Many brides plan their weddings on their own, with the help of mom, or friends & other family members. But JUST as many brides plan theirs with the help of a wedding planner. If you want things done the right way without the fuss, or tend to get overwhelmed with the details, a wedding planner can be of great assistance and a valuable asset to you on your day
4. Prioritize
   Figuring out what you can spend where can be tough. Deciding what’s most important to you on your day can take the tough work out of it a bit and help you focus in on what you really want. Is there one specific venue that you have always dreamt of, a photographer who’s work you love, that one dress you just have to have? This is where prioritizing can help you budget.
5. Make the Call
   Once you have your budget in place and your date picked, you’re all set to start making those calls to your prioritized vendors and seeing if they have the date available. Most wedding vendors will need a retainer fee/deposit to book your date, so you want to make sure you’re making the right decision. Do your research – check online for reviews on their business. Or ask other wedding vendors that are already on your team – with all my couples I love extending my knowledge to you and I always have a list of preferred vendors ready to go to refer to you!

I hope this has helped you even a little bit. Getting engaged sends you into an exciting emotional whirlwind of activity and it can be hard to get your bearings straight. My hope is this blog post helps focus your hopes, wants & dreams for your wedding day and gives you a starting point.

Up on the blog today is the always stunning ever-talented Hannah of Hannah Cummins Photography!  If she looks familiar to you, that’s for good reason since she is one of my closest photog-friends. A few brief years ago when I was just starting out in photography and getting my business established (fast forward to present and I STILL feel like I’m just getting established – small business owner problems!), she took me under her wing and I’m so lucky she did. What she saw in me & my lack of knowledge or experience at the time I have no idea but I feel so fortunate to get to work with this gorgeous lady week in and week out during wedding season. I photograph almost all of her weddings alongside her, and this August we get to trade places and she will be second shooting for me – I cannot wait to have her with me.
Building relationships with your peers and those in the wedding industry is always good but when you find a connection that goes beyond work, that stretches into a friendship, it’s pure gold. This girl has stood by me through life’s ups and downs and has always helped me find my way even when I didn’t want to admit where life was taking me. So happy to be located closer to her now in Langley! We try to sneak out at least once a year to exchange portrait sessions with each other – being business owners, updating your headshots and profile photos always helps keep you up to date & current with your clients! She always rocks it in front of the camera, and this session may be my favourite one of her yet!
