Breaking News - NEW BLOG!!

Out with the old, in with the new - I have a BRAND NEW BLOG!

www.StaceyWightBlog.ca

I felt it was time for a change so I had a brand new blog created so all of you have something more juicy and delicious to look at while you are at work with nothing to do (LOL).

I have been dying to officially launch this, but there have been little technical issues along the way until now. Everything is in complete order :)

As mentioned previously the number 8 signifies "new beginnings" so in celebration of the month and year 08.08, I am pleased to have a new blog and new logo!



I will never ever be posting here again, so please update your bookmark with StaceyWightBlog.ca.

See you over at my new blog!

Stacey

P.S. My super cute 12" iBook is still for sale.

Happy 9th Year Anniversary!

Happy 9th Year Anniversary to me.....of shooting weddings!

That is correct. On Saturday August 14, 1999 I photographed my first wedding!

Here is a flashback from the past. Meghan and Dave are celebrating their 9th Wedding Anniversary today!






I scanned this photo and the one below from the NEGATIVE (film). I photographed weddings on my Mamiya RB67 for 7 years (beautiful camera and lenses - the quality I got from the RB was superb). I just switched to 100% digital in 2007 (and it's been quite the learning process at that).


The classic bride in the foreground, groom in the background. I still do this!


And this is what NOT to do - bouquet on the bride's train. That's actually illegal in wedding photography.

So that is that. 9 years in the making. I can't believe how wedding photography (and albums!) have changed over the years. Technology is rapid.

I am tickled pink that my career is something that I LOVE to do!

Edit: I should point out these photos posted above look MUCH better in print than they do here on screen. Getting a good scan from prints and negatives isn't always easy!

08.08.08 :: Sneak Peak :: Wedding in Lion's Head, ON


Funny Joke:


Q: What did the "zero" say to the number 8?
A: Nice Belt!

LOL - hahahahahaha.

I had the privilege of photographing Katie and Brady's wedding in Lion's Head, Ontario on the big 08.08.08. The number 8 signifies "new beginnings" and also happens to be my favourite number!

Here is just a little sneak peak from their beautiful and amazing wedding day. The weather couldn't have been more fabulous up in the Northern Bruce Peninsula that day.

StaceyWight.mobi

I JUST launched StaceyWight.mobi (finally!!). If you don't have a mobile phone to view my new site, you may use this online emulator to view it here.

This project has been on my "To Do List" since January 2007 and I finally decided to take the 30 minutes and check that off my list today!

In case you are wondering what a ".mobi" site is, it is as it sounds - a website for mobile devices. Society is shifting dramatically with the way we communicate with each other and a mobile website is a MUST.

There are some features I would like to add to StaceyWight.mobi soon, but as always with most websites, they are a work in progress. Check it out!

Amazing Rainbow!

We had this AMAZING DOUBLE rainbow after our daily torrential down-pour early this evening. (It has rained every single day here since about April.....seriously, no kidding at all - EVERY single day). These were taken starting at about 7:45pm.


Isn't it splendid?




A complete arch! Isn't it amazing? You can still see the double part, but it is slowly fading. If I hadn't been wearing flip flops, I would have taken a hike to either end of the rainbow to see if the pot of gold really DOES exist! LOL.


The rainbow is disappearing here.

I just had to share this fantastic piece of creation with you. (Rainbows are God's promise to mankind that there will never again be a world-wide flood such as there was in the days of Noah - Genesis 9:14-17).
