michele bowman ~ Windsor Ontario Wedding Photographer, London, Chatham Southwestern Ontario & Destination Weddings

Welcome about

I'd love to hear from you, so please click HERE to get in touch. I look forward to hearing more about your wedding day plans and details.

You have just arrived at my blog, and I welcome you!

This blog is just a place where I write about my journey as a wedding photographer, as a mother, wife and friend.

I am an illustrative wedding photographer, located just outside Windsor Ontario. I have a huge love of photojournalism, black and white photography, and weddings that make me cry! I don't like the ordinary, I love being different, and I put my heart and soul into everything I do.

My kids are my greatest treasure and my hubby my greatest love.

I feel that this quote summarizes me and my outlook on business....

"Always hold on to the truth. Don't let others sway your heart. Don't compromise yourself for the sake of temporal groovyness. Be Deeply Funky. Be separate from the crowd that's awash with normality, by standing on a firm foundation. Never waver in your love or faith ...." - John Fluevog.

Wedding Odyssey { windsor ontario wedding & bridal show }

01.07.10

hi all!

it looks as if i'm joining the ranks of thousands of wedding photographers before me, and i'm getting a booth at a local wedding & bridal show!

The Wedding Odyssey is here in Windsor , this coming weekend. the event is being held at the Ciocarro Club here in the city, which is just off Walker Rd, south of the 401 (look for the signs).

i'm a nervous wreck!!!

i have never built a booth, have never been to a wedding show even as a guest, and it's tough to know what to do or expect.

i've been scouring the internet and wedding forums, trying to look at photos of other booths, see what other wedding photographers like to do, and get a sense as to the best way for ME to build something.

you see, i have some pretty clear ideas about what i like and dislike, and one of the things i dislike the most is conformity!!!

i like to be different, i like to be myself, and i just like being me.

i have a tiny little spot at the show, down at the end of some long, dark hall, so it's been tough to know how to proceed with designing something that will not only showcase my photography, but help to get people at actually NOTICE me at the end of this dark hallway.

i think what i've come up with is fun and original, and i'm looking forward to putting it all together.

i think i will do a mock-up tonight, in my living room , so that i can get the full effect.

it's CRAZY!!!

if you're coming to the Wedding Odyssey, please make sure that you stop by and say hello.

i would love to meet some new people!

since no post is complete without a photo, then please enjoy the following.

i'll just let you know right now, that if you hire me and you have kids at your wedding, then i WILL BE TAKING PHOTOS OF THEM!!

i LOVE kids and the silly things they do, and there's nothing more fun than kids dancing.

this one makes me smile :)
