Montreal Wedding Planner: First Photoshoot

Hello there,

As you know, the new site is going to be launched in a short few weeks and as I'm going through all my images, I came  across a few that brought me way back. {And put a smile on my face}

Let me tell you something. When I first started my company in 2007, I was told by my 'mentor' that I was not ready, too young, not experienced... basically I was told that it wasn't a good idea. I remember that was tough to hear, but the truth is, we all have those moments in our life that we one day look back at. They make us stronger and actually push us to build mountains to climb. My advice to anyone thinking of taking a leap of faith (whether business related or personal), block out the noise and build a sea of mountains. Nothing of worth is easy to attain, so roll up your sleeves and just go for it.

The point of this post isn't to announce that I am the next Tony Robbins, but rather to share another little tidbit about myself. When I took that leap, I thought to myself... what about a portfolio? How am I going to sell myself? Easy. I'll make one. I set up my very first photoshoot to show my future clients what I was capable of. Obviously, looking back, I'm like Woah... change this, change that, oh god what were you thinking with this colour or that cutlery...lol. In hindsight, it was quite great for my first time at it and since, I have become a bit obsessed with creative shoots. Over the years I have had opportunities to work along some of the industries finest, but this shoot, will forever be my most memorable. I thought I'd share a couple of pictures with you.  (circa 2007)

So here you go and for all the haters... hate on. We're doing quite fine I'd say.  ;)
