marry me productions vendor appreciation night!!

Thursday, November 22, 2007


hello all,

last night i was lucky enough to be invited to an awesome event hosted by stacey and the marry me productions team. they wanted to thank all of the vendors that they have been working with, so they had a vendor appreciation night at the foundation in the byward market. like marry me productions weddings this event was first class. i had a great time and felt honored just to be part of it. it was also great to meet other ottawa photographers that i've admired for a long time.

most of us are way too busy these days to have time to plan our wedding, why not remove that stress and let a professional do it for us. this way we can enjoy the time being engaged. trust me marry me productions will make the wedding of your dreams.

thanks again stacey, anna, tracy, chriss and tiziana for a great night!!

i am shooting a wedding next november with marry me productions and i cannot wait.

here are a couple of shots from last night.

cheers,
derrick

myself, byron brydges (my wedding photographer), and the awesome hostess stacey price.


me with some of the great photographers in ottawa.byron brydges, me, andrew geddes, ron zeitlin, and andrew van beek. it was great meeting you all.
