Marina + John’s engagement photos August 6, 2008

Filed under: real weddings — sam @ 1:15 pm

I had to share these engagement photos of Marina and John, who are getting married in September at the National Gallery of Canada.  It has been so much fun planning their wedding.  Their focus is definitely on hospitality and fun – a STARFISH speciality.  They are incorporating all these little details to make their special day urban and fun. The engagement photos were taken by Derrick Rice in the Glebe.  We think they illustrate this funky, fun couple perfectly!  We can’t wait to see Derrick’s work on their big day!

STARFISH summer wedding collection August 5, 2008

Filed under: real weddings — sam @ 7:13 am

Greetings from sunny Ottawa! The team at STARFISH has been busy stars putting together weddings and events all over the city and we will be spending the next few posts showing off some photos of some recent events.  The pictures below were from a recent couple who were looking for a vibrant and fresh look to their wedding.  The STARFISH crew filled the room with pink and orange gerbera daisies, a video station/lounge area and every guest left with a custom water bottle to keep them refreshed on their car ride home. Here’s a sneak peak of Amina and Osman’s wedding. More to follow!
