			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just before Christmas Ryan and I decided to take a few days vacation for ourselves and travel to one of our favourite destinations; Quebec City. <a title="http://www.quebecregion.com" href="http://www.quebecregion.com">Quebec City</a> is beautiful at any time of year but it was exceptionally stunning in the snow and with all the holiday lights. For a few days we just walked around the city visiting shops, eating the best croissants and onion soup in Canada and taking some much needed new couples portraits of us. If you know anything about Ryan and I, you know that we love to stay at the Canadian Fairmont brand hotels. We love them because they are steeped in history, and have a style of architecture that we believe to be very Canadiana (i.e: the copper roof to name one feature.)</p>
<p>This time we stayed at the fabulous<a title="http://www.fairmont.com/frontenac" href="http://www.fairmont.com/frontenac"> Chateau Frontenac</a> in Vieux Quebec. This is probably my favourite hotel of them all. What I find truly fascinating about it is some of the people who have stayed there, like Kings and Queens (Grace Kelly), even <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Confess_(film)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Confess_(film)">Alfred Hitchcock filmed the movie I, Confess</a> there. We walked around the hotel picking out scenes from the movie and trying to figure out where Hitchcock would have sat while directing them. This is the 6th Canadian Fairmont we have stayed at thus far, so we are well on our way to our two year goal of staying at all 21 destinations over the next 2 years. It was a short trip. Actually it was too short so we are planning another trip to Quebec City for new years!</p>
<p>So excited to watch the fireworks over this beautiful city.</p>
<p>Happy New Year everyone!</p>
<p>Erika &amp; Ryan</p>

<p>We hiked to the top of the fort for a amazing view of the Frontenac.</p>

<p>Quebec City is the best for night time photos. Every building is so creatively lit. Makes for some romantic cityscape photos.</p>

<p>This is a time-lapse of a few vantage points around the hotel. Its short but pretty. If you would like to have us photograph you in Quebec City or Montreal in 2012 send us an email to <span id="enkoder_1_166319863">email hidden; JavaScript is required</span><script type="text/javascript">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year we make a trip to the East Coast of Canada. We typically visit New Brunswick to visit my mom and my sister and plan a few day trips along the way. This was our first trip with Pepper. It was a long 16 hour car ride for her but we drove straight through with only small stops for washroom breaks and food. It actually took us 18 hours to drive it. We visited Saint John N.B, Moncton, Prince Edward Island for a day trip and a few days in St. Andrew&#8217;s By The Sea, N.B. We didn&#8217;t take too many photos this time around, but the cameras did come out on a few occasions. Check out these few portraits of our travels.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Erika &amp; Ryan</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you arrive into PEI off Confederation Bridge immediately you get a glimpse of the lighthouses and red sand beaches. We stopped at the tourist information and got a map of lighthouses close by and took the most beautiful route through little towns to find this little cutie. It was extremely windy that day.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11450" title="prince edward island lighthouse couples photo" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/prince-edward-island-lighthouse-couples-photo.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="685" /></p>
<p>I have a photo of my feet in every city and country I&#8217;ve been too in the last 5 years. I know its weird, but its just something I have always done since we started traveling.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11451" title="our travels" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/our-travels.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="305" /></p>
<p>Pepper celebrated her first birthday while we were in PEI. We bought her a blue ball to play with on the beach. She loved running while the tide was out, and loved covered covered in thick red mud of the ocean floor. She was not a fan of me giving her a bath in a freezing cold waterfall we found just off the edge of a cliff that over looked the beach.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11776" title="us with pepper pei" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/us-with-pepper-pei1.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="685" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11778" title="110825-145459-1346-05131" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/110825-145459-1346-051311.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p>This is my awesome family! From left to right: Ryan, me, Jackelyn (my sister) her boyfriend Shaun, my beautiful mother Della, and her man Keith. Don&#8217;t we all look amazing! We were on our way to a party. If you are wondering what the giant pipe is in the background, its actually part of the Irving Oil refinery. Irving is everywhere in Saint John. Still one of my all time favourite family photos.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11453" title="family portraits new brunswick" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/family-portraits-new-brunswick.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p>No, wait, this is my fave!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11454" title="family portraits east coast photographers" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/family-portraits-east-coast-photographers.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p>Here is one of Pepper with her fur cousins.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11455" title="110830-060913-2656-05531" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/110830-060913-2656-05531.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11457" title="puppy portraits" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/puppy-portraits.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="685" /></p>
<p>Ryan took this the night the tropical storm came through the East coast. We were in St. Andrew&#8217;s New Brunswick at the time. It was really windy, and cold and rainy. But Ryan in true photographer form, carried his tripod and camera out to the beach to catch this stunning photo. So worth it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I woke up, and in my pajamas&#8217;s walked the 20 feet from my room to my office to begin getting my daily fix from my Google Reader. Everyday I read somewhere around 50-60 articles online from my favorite blogs. I read local business blogs, photographer blogs, wedding decor blogs, interior design blogs, local news blogs, The Globe and Mail, A-Channel news, The Barrie Examiner, and travel blogs. Today I stumbled across a photography related article in the Globe. The Globe has always been my favorite paper to read, but today they wrote an article about engagement photography that I felt not only went too far but was far from professional to say the least.<br />
<a title="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/relationships/love/marriage/just-say-no-to-cheesy-engagement-photos/article2073023/" href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/relationships/love/marriage/just-say-no-to-cheesy-engagement-photos/article2073023/">Here is a link to the article,</a> have a read and form your own opinion. But for the photographers out there and the newly engaged couples, and any couples who has had engagement photos taken try not to take it too seriously.<br />
This article prompted us to write a blog not as a retaliation to a silly opinion piece, but as more of a call to action for photographers and couples. We believe that photographers hold a huge responsibility, we are (in the most dramatic form) keepers of time. We freeze moments of life, and we document and collect the image of people living in our time. How we do it is totally up to us, and there is no wrong way. There is no wrong time to start documenting a life, a love, a relationship, or an event. If you are engaged and in love and you want to express that by documenting it, then do it! You don&#8217;t need a photographer to tell you so, nor do you need an article written in a national wide newspaper to tell you that you don&#8217;t. Its your life, and if you wish to share it, who is anyone to judge. If you wish to dress up like characters from the movie &#8220;The Notebook&#8221; or have a picnic in the park, or go to a junk yard and pose in front stack of old beat up metal scraps, if that is how you see yourselves now, then do it!</p>
<p>Engagement photos are not for everyone, but I truly believe they should be, just like I believe family or newborn portraits are essential to a families history, engagement, pre-wedding portraits and couples photo sessions (whatever you want to call them) are essential to a relationship. Let&#8217;s think about this for a moment, if the average Canadian gets married between the ages of 25-35, and up until that point the last photos they had taken professionally were from their school days and they have wedding photos taken. How old will they be before they are photographed professionally again?  My guess is somewhere around  age 40! Chances are it won&#8217;t be until they have their first child, and if they love photography probably every 3-5 years until the child is a teenager, and then maybe once more as a family before that child gets married. So over the course of the following 25 years the chances of you and your fiance getting photos taken together again are slim. The only photos you will have at this point as a couple will be from your wedding day. That&#8217;s great, but its not enough. During the wedding planning and engagement stage, this is really the only time you can get away with having a couples photo shoot.</p>
<p>As a photographer, here are my top 3 reasons for getting engagement photos:<br />
1. it gives us a chance to connect with the couple and for them to get used to our style of shooting ahead of the wedding. This gives us the opportunity to take more personal photos on the wedding day because we know you better.<br />
2. It is an opportunity to be photographed as a couple without your wedding outfits on. You can wear your normal clothes which in turn will better represent the real you.<br />
3. <a title="http://rowellphoto.com/kylee-tom-engaged-barrie-ontario/" href="http://rowellphoto.com/kylee-tom-engaged-barrie-ontario/">Engagement photos</a> are great for guest signing books, slideshows at the wedding, your wedding website for your guests, and display photos at your reception. They have many purposes, especially if you are too embarrassed to show off photos from your high school and college days in a slideshow for your guests. Engagement photos can keep your slideshow classy.</p>
<p>As a bride to be (<a title="http://rowellphoto.com/met-ryan/" href="http://rowellphoto.com/met-ryan/">yes we are engaged</a>, just in case you missed the post last year) here are my top 3 reasons for getting engagement photos:<br />
1. Getting engaged was a huge turning point in our lives, it represents a commitment we made to publicly profess our love on our wedding day and to plan an event together that will mark the start of our new lives. Our engagement is more than just a ring, its part of our life and therefore we feel the need to document it.<br />
2. I want our children to look back on these photos and say &#8220;That&#8217;s how I remember my mom and dad, they way they used to hug and looked at one another, what they wore.&#8221; it will be hard for our future children to imagine us at our wedding in our wedding dress and suit because they weren&#8217;t there to see it. Engagement photos will be a better representation of what our life was like.<br />
3. This is all we have, this life!  and we want to be remembered by the people who matter most to us in our lives. These photos will be part of <a title="http://rowellphoto.com/shooting-story/" href="http://rowellphoto.com/shooting-story/">our story.</a></p>
<p>If you agree with one of these reasons for getting engagement photos taken then set up a time with your photographer that works for you, a location that means something to you and details that help describe the people you are now. I promise you won&#8217;t regret it, even if the photos are not what you expected. Remember your photographer can only photograph what you show them, so if you want to show how much fun you have together then you have to genuinely have fun, if you want to have photos that will shock and surprise then come up with an idea and share it with your photographer.</p>
<p>Engagement sessions are more than just an excuse to get a photo for a newspaper announcement or an item that came in your wedding photography package, or photographic art you can place on your walls. This is who you are in this moment, and whoever that is, we hope you share it with the world in whatever way you wish.</p>
<p>Cheers<br />
Erika &amp; Ryan</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><span style="color: #ff0000;">Update: Feb 1st 2012, Táve has opened version 3, so there is now a new version of the plugin.. I am retiring the old plugin and will not be supporting it. but it can still be downloaded below.</span></h4>
<p>During the redesign of our site, I got this idea to make my very first WordPress plugin. Not really knowing what I was getting myself into on the programming end of things, I wound up learning so much along the way. The help I received from <a title="Shameless plug for an affiliate link. I want months free!" href="https://www.tave.com/?action=Start&amp;Invite=DPLE-OOQ9-ORP2&amp;ReferredBy=Erika%20%26%20Ryan%20of%20Rowell%20Photography" target="_blank">Táve</a> developer Jason Pirkey, was invaluable and he managed to make time for me during all the work on the new <a title="Shameless Plug for affiliate link" href="https://www.tave.com/?action=Start&amp;Invite=DPLE-OOQ9-ORP2&amp;ReferredBy=Erika%20%26%20Ryan%20of%20Rowell%20Photography" target="_blank">Táve 3.0</a> site. Its been nearly 10 years since I last formally programmed anything, other than just my website. I miss the days of ASM, Basic, C, and C++, things just seemed simpler. Programming again seemed fun and difficult and at times it made no sense at all, but only because I have been under a rock for so long and out of practice.</p>
<p>I have created a plugin for <a href="http://contactform7.com" target="_blank" class="broken_link" rel="nofollow">Contact Form 7</a> for WordPress that will allow the information collected on your contact form to be put into the Táve system. Now you dont have to take the info from your email response and paste it in, or use an iframe to add the form to your site. This way you can customize the form and have it look however you want with your styling and CSS knowhow. It is currently being used on this site for our contact form <a title="Contact Rowell Photography for your Wedding day" href="http://rowellphoto.com/contact/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cf7-tave3.zip">cf7-tave3.zip</a></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cf7-tave.zip">cf7-tave.zip for Táve Version 2</a></p>
<p>If your still wondering what the heck Táve is &#8211; its the simplest way to go from first contact to the last check mark on the list of things to complete for each client you will ever have in your business. It keeps track of who you&#8217;re shooting, when, where and for how long. What you need to do after the shoot, and how much your making from the shoot. Its a great way to electronically sign contracts (no pens!!!) and ask your clients details to be kept all in one nice tidy place. If your office is a mobile phone like us you can use their mobile site and gain access to all that info at any time you need it. It will track payments, invoices, quotes, referrals, the number of blue smarties you ate, the list goes on. One of the features I like the most is when a client books with us it will pre-fill in the calendar with appointments and task lists to keep track of everything along the way.</p>
<p>I hope that our obvious love for Táve is coming through. And if you havn&#8217;t yet signed up for a 30 day trial do so through <a title="Our Affiliate Link to awesomeness" href="https://www.tave.com/?action=Start&amp;Invite=DPLE-OOQ9-ORP2&amp;ReferredBy=Erika%20%26%20Ryan%20of%20Rowell%20Photography" target="_blank">this link so the kind people at Táve will know who sent you.</a></p>
<h3>Here are the requirements of the plugin:</h3>
<ol>
<li>You need to be running <a href="http://wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> v3.0 or greater</li>
<li>It requires you to have a membership to Táve.com (<a title="Affiliate Link to help Rowell Photography get things free." href="https://www.tave.com/?action=Start&amp;Invite=DPLE-OOQ9-ORP2&amp;ReferredBy=Erika%20%26%20Ryan%20of%20Rowell%20Photography" target="_blank">get that here</a>)</li>
<li>You must have <a href="http://contactform7.com" target="_blank" class="broken_link" rel="nofollow">Contact Form 7</a> Plugin installed.</li>
<li>OPTIONAL: if you only want to use the form for one job type ex:Wedding and not for any other job type you need this additional plugin to hide the jobtype field, get that here: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7-modules/">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7-modules/</a></li>
</ol>
<h3>Setting it up:</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10991" title="cf7-tave-integration-settings-page" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cf7-tave-integration-settings-page.png" alt="Contact Form 7 Táve integration settings page" width="607" height="316" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">1 &amp; 2 </span></strong>can be found here: <a href="https://www.tave.com/Manager.app/#/Settings/NewLeadAPI">https://www.tave.com/Manager.app/#/Settings/NewLeadAPI</a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">3.</span></strong> On our site I use this to prevent the data in our second contact form from being put into Táve. It can also be used to prevent other info you only want to be given in the email but not in the Táve database, for example you have a field to test if they are human you dont need that info put into their entry in Táve.</p>
<h3>Creating your form in Contact Form 7</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10993" title="cf7-tave-form-settings" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cf7-tave-form-settings.png" alt="Contact Form 7 Settings for the form" width="918" height="775" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">1.</span></strong> Just to get you started, here is something you can copy and paste into the form text area, overwrite what is already there (unless you want to keep it):</p>
<pre>Your First Name (required)
[text* FirstName akismet:author tabindex:01]

Your Last Name (required)
[text* LastName tabindex:02]

Your Email (required)
[email* Email tabindex:03 akismet:author_email]

Your Phone Number
[text MobilePhone tabindex:04]

Your Event Date
[text EventDate tabindex:05]

Service Type:
[select* JobType tabindex:06 "Wedding" "Family Portrait"]

Referrer:
[select Source tabindex:07 "Friend" "Another Vendor" "Facebook"]

Your Message:
[textarea* Message tabindex:08]

[submit tabindex:10 "Send"]
[response]</pre>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1b. OPTIONAL: Replace &#8220;Service Type: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Consolas, Monaco, monospace; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre;">[select* JobType tabindex:06 "Wedding" "Family Portrait"]&#8221; </span>with  [hidden JobType id:JobType "Wedding"] this will create a hidden field for JobType that is always set as Wedding. This is only going to work with <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7-modules/">Contact Form 7 Modules</a> installed.</p>
<p>2. Fill this information out the way you want it to look when it arrives in your email inbox. We have in the from line: &#8220;[FirstName] [LastName] &lt;[Email]&gt;&#8221; and in the subject line: &#8220;[EventDate] &#8211; [JobType]&#8221; . You can figure things out.</p>
<p>3. Here is another sample you can just copy and paste into the message body to start things off.</p>
<pre>First Name: [FirstName]
Last Name: [LastName]
Email: [Email]
Phone: [MobilePhone]
Found us here: [Source]
Event Date: [EventDate]
Type of Photography: [JobType]

Their Message:
[Message]</pre>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Turns out having an adorable dog comes with consequences. My dad calls it &#8220;spoiled&#8221;. But how can we not, just look at that face! Pepper is definitely hard to say no too. She has been with us for 4 months now and our hard core training, many hours of watching <a href="http://www.cesarsway.com/">Caesar Milan</a> videos and reading everything the internet has to offer on puppy training  has really started to pay off.  Pepper recognizes 8 commands and most of the time she can recognize our names. She is a pretty smart girl. She is great during photo shoots, she has her little stool in the studio and she will sit beside us while we shoot. She is getting really good at posing for photos too. One new development is that she is getting quite fussy with her commercial brand foods we feed her. She doesn&#8217;t seem to be too interested in her food, the vet says she is being fussy and that we should try a new diet or brand with her. I have been reading up on home made dog food and raw food recipes. I would love to know what you all think and if you have any great recipes to share. I would like to stay away from rice, breads and cooked meats.</p>
<p>If you have any great homemade recipes or links to great recipes you use I would love it if you would leave them in the comments below. Pepper is a 10 pound Shii-poo puppy and is 8 months old.</p>
<p>These are Pepper&#8217;s latest photos in the studio, she is wearing her hipster bandanna she got as a Christmas gift from the editor and chief of <a href="http://www.piemagazine.ca/">Pie Magazine</a>, Sandra Roberts.</p>
<p>Looking forward to your comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Top 10 things you may not know about Erika &amp; Ryan and Rowell Photography .</p>
<p>1. Since the day we met, we have worked together. First at a photo studio, then at a gym, then at Rowell Photography.</p>
<p>2. In 2007 we won an award with the Canadian National Newspaper Association for a photo essay we did on figure skating. Our essay beat out city newspapers across Canada with a distribution of 30,000.</p>
<p>3. We worked on the set of a YTV show as set stills photographers for 6 months. The show was called Monster Warriors and we often spent endless days shooting people dressed as monsters, sets designed to look like caves, teenagers in space suits, and guns made from vacuum cleaner parts. It was awesome!</p>
<p>4. A few years ago we, within the span of 2 months were interviewed by Maclean&#8217;s Magazine, CBC Radio Toronto, CBC Radio Sudbury and our local newspaper for a Trash the Dress shoot we did and on the topic of proposal photography all because I talked about it on our blog.</p>
<p>5.  As of 2008, Ryan and I had photographed 5000 families together. This was made possible by working at the busiest and cheapest photo studio in town for 3 years and then, when we opened Rowell Photography, photographing a church directory for the largest church in Barrie.</p>
<p>6. For the last 2 years we have organized the Dusk until Dawn photo shoot. Where photographers of any caliber and from anywhere can participate in a community night time shoot in various locations around the city of Barrie. We invite models, collaborate on ideas and shoot from 7pm-7am.</p>
<p>7. In 2010 our wedding work was featured in magazines all over the world; Canada, USA, Ireland, Czech Republic, and Russia. Our commercial work was published in 7 Nationwide publications and magazines.</p>
<p>8. We once drove all the way to Fredericton, New Brunswick for an engagement session. That&#8217;s 16 hours without stops, with stops its probably more like 26. It was so fun, we love driving out East.</p>
<p>9. Once we were stopped at lights down at Yonge and Dundas Square and images from an advertising campaign we shot were flashing on the big screens. It was crazy! I felt the way singers must feel when they hear their song on the radio for the first time.</p>
<p>10. Ever since we began our business we have been shooting commercial photography. We work with a few model and talent agencies in Toronto on their clients headshots and portfolios, as well as advertising companies and magazines. For a long time we wanted to focus on meeting as many of our goals for our wedding photography business, since we have done that, we would now like to formally introduce you all to the commercial side of our photography business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have so much blogging to catch up on this winter and I want to make sure I get some personal blog posts in there. Our blog, along with skype and facebook is the only way my family out in Canada&#8217;s East Coast gets a glimpse at our lives. Now that we have Pepper we have so much more to talk about. So here are a few images of 2011 thus far.</p>
<p>A few photogra-friends of ours were on a drive around Barrie, ON and found this giant snowman conveniently located on Frost Trail, I saw their photos and just had to go on a search to find the giant snowman. At the time we had no clue where it was so I made Ryan drive around in the Heights looking for it. It was so worth the search, we had to take a family photo.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10381" title="us and giant snowman barrie, ontario" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/us-and-giant-snowman-barrie-ontario.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p>For Ryan&#8217;s 30th birthday we went to Ottawa to visit his sister, and stay at the <a title="Fairmont hotels canada" href="http://www.fairmont.com/laurier/">Fairmont Chateau Laurier</a> (we have a goal over the next 3 years to stay at each Canadian hotel). It was Pepper&#8217;s first trip, and hotel stay. Here she is playing behind the hotel</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10382" title="Pepper puppy portraits Ottawa" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Pepper-puppy-portraits.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="685" /></p>
<p>This is me and Pepper inside my favorite part of the hotel. Its a giant hallway with arched ceilings and painted murals.  We love this hotel, not only because it is so beautiful and welcomes puppies, but also because it was the home of <a title="yousuf karsh" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yousuf_Karsh">Yousuf Karsh </a>one of Canada&#8217;s greatest portrait photographers. His work can be found all over the hotel laid out like his own personal gallery. We stayed 2 doors down from his studio which was located inside the hotel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to our new website! We are so excited to have you. Our website (all designed and programmed by Ryan) has so many fun ways to waste your day exploring photos from weddings, engagements and our travels. Check out our about us section and get to know some fun facts about who we are and why we love what we do. Spend some time browsing our photo galleries. We&#8217;ve added a few categories to our photo galleries: Same Sex couples, Honeymoons and Destinations and a Families gallery. We hope you enjoy all the new updates to our website. Please leave us comments below and let us know how you like the site and its functionality.</p>
<p>Way back in November, after a very busy spring to fall wedding season we decided to take a much needed vacation. While we could have traveled somewhere hot and sunny, we chose to visit the Canadian Rockies for 10 days. My dad once told me of a train trip he went on as a kid with Via Rail out west. He said it was unlike anything he had ever experienced for travel and that seeing Canada by train is a right of passage. After much research and a little inspiration from the blog of local Toronto Star writer <a href="http://www.thestar.com/travel/northamerica/article/878974--cross-country-by-train-how-canadian">Reb Stevenson</a>, we were packed and boarding our first Canadian rail ride.</p>
<p>Traveling by rail is really amazing, its a hotel on wheels that passes by some of the most beautiful sunsets and landscapes the country has to offer. 4 nights and 3 days on a train with no internet, no tv, no phones and you would think we would have gone stir crazy. But we didn&#8217;t, not even close. It was nice to relax, I don&#8217;t think we even knew what it really meant to relax before the trip. Being totally unconnected to anything outside the train meant connecting with everything and everyone who was inside the train with us. We met some really interesting folks from all over the world. Be it most of them were a little older than us, but we still had a great time. Travelling on The Canadian felt very nostalgic, almost like being in an old black and white movie. Our final stop was in Jasper, Alberta where we rented a car and drove the Icefields Parkway to Lake Louise. We arrived at 10pm in the darkness to our hotel, The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. We couldn&#8217;t see a thing, but our front desk clerk told us to wake up at 6am and open our room window to watch the sunrise over the mountains. That morning the sight of the burning orange sun cresting the tops of the black, white and blue mountains was sensational. Seeing that made the entire trip worth while.</p>
<p>Below are some of our favourite images from this incredibly scenic and incredibly Canadian trip.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Erika &amp; Ryan</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liz &amp; Steve of Eventdecorator.com really do not need an introduction on this blog. They have been featured on here quite a few times before, well at least their work has. If you have hired, or worked with Eventdecorator you have probably seen them bustling about. Over the last 3 years we have had the chance to get to know this amazing couple and learn so much from them. We&#8217;ve been to their studio and home (where we noticed a lack of updated family and couples shots) and have collaborated with them on many creative projects. They have been so inspirational, and supportive to us and if we can work half as good together as these two do, we would be unstoppable!</p>
<p>So for all the brides out there looking for wedding decor and floral design, here is my sales pitch on Liz and Steve: Hire Eventdecorator.com not only because they are cutting edge with design, or because their work has been published in magazines all over North America or because they are the are the best at what they do in this part of the country. Hire Eventdecorator because every single time you will get Elizabeth and Steve. Two people who care about creating unique never before seen designs for each couple that walks through their doors. Choose Eventdecorator because Liz &amp; Steve are madly in love with what they do and each other.</p>
<p>Now take a few mins and check out their work:</p>

<p>Go here to see what other couples are saying about Eventdecorator.com: <a title="http://tinyurl.com/2vnsw54" href="http://tinyurl.com/2vnsw54">http://tinyurl.com/2vnsw54</a></p>
<p>Here are a few imagess we took in a 15 min couples photo shoot at the Cheltenham Badlands at the beginning of the month. Like I mentioned above these two were in desperate need of some updated photos. We have made it our personal quest to see these photos framed in their house, even if  we have to do it ourselves. Before this mini shoot we had just finished up Eventdecorator&#8217;s annual commercial shoot, <a title="http://rowellphoto.com/blogosphere/" href="http://rowellphoto.com/blogosphere/">see last years photo shoot here</a>. Let&#8217;s all leave nice comments telling Liz &amp; Steve how awesome they look in these pics and encourage them to hang them on the walls of the house. My next goal is to get them and their kids together for a family photo shoot.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Erika &amp; Ryan</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, what can I say about New York that hasn&#8217;t already been said? Nothing! So I am just going to tell you about our New York Minute/weekend. Ryan, myself, <a title="http://www.forbesphotographer.com/" href="http://www.forbesphotographer.com/">Tim Forbes</a>, and his girlfriend Karen all piled int he car for a road trip to NYC for Photo District News Photo Plus convention. We planned to spent one day of our three day trip at the convention and the rest of the time touring the city. There are so many things that I have always wanted to do in NYC: see Vincent Van Gogh&#8217;s Starry Night at MoMa, Top of the Rock, see the Statue of Liberty, eat cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery, shop at Tiffany&#8217;s, and walk through central park. I actually had the chance to do all those things on this trip, plus a few more. Here is how our weekend went. After PDN Tim tried to hail us a cab outside the Javitz Center. After about 2 cabs blew past us this obnoxious guy kept on taunting Tim saying &#8221; You are never gonna get a cab here!&#8221; Tim brushed him off a few times determined to get us a cab, finally the guy started yelling out his rates in his car. It was a little weird  for this guy to try and illegally sell us a ride, but when he got the price down to $35 to ride in his super stretch limo to the other side of town we thought, why not!. Ryan, Tim and I were cruising downtown New York in our cheap, yet fancy limo on our way to pick up Karen and go for dinner. Earlier this year Ryan and I were addicted to this show called Cities of the Underworld which features cities from all over the world and stories about what lies beneath them. The NYC episode featured a restaurant called 21 Club, and in the 1920&#8242;s during prohibition days it was a speakeasy. We were determined to eat there. Of course without a reservation it is nearly impossible, but they told us to come back the next night and they would have something for us, in the meantime they told us to go across the street to the Empire steakhouse and we would get a round of drinks for free. We definitely did! It was an awesome night.</p>
<p>The following day was a big day, and not just because we planned to eat at 21 Club but because Tim was going to propose to Karen. He had told us weeks go and I had been keeping the secret ever since. Well at least trying to keep it. I was pretty excited to watch a live proposal, mostly because I knew Karen would say yes  and also because Tim asked if we would take a few pics all paparazzi styles. Ryan was hiding on the front steps of the New York City Public Library (also the spot Carrie and Big were going to get married the first time around on Sex and the City) I was wearing sunglasses and a scarf over my head to cover my hair so they wouldn&#8217;t recognize me and was supposed to signal to Ryan when I saw Tim and Karen get out of the cab. Then right there in front of about 100 by standers Tim got down on one knee. I was watching from the distance, and there was kissing and hugging so I knew it was safe to come out. It was so exciting to watch.</p>
<p>That night we got our table at 21 Club, right next to Donald Trumps personal table (Donald wasn&#8217;t there). The food was amazing. The next morning we rushed to 30 Rockefeller to experience Top of the Rock. 78 stories up and the elevator I swear took only 30 seconds. The view were perfect, we had the most beautiful last day in the city.</p>
<p>Check out these photos below and the photos of Tim &amp; Karen, the city and a few of Ryan and I. Be sure to leave lots of comments congratulating Tim &amp; Karen.</p>
<p>Congratulations Karen &amp; Tim, thank you for asking us to be a part of your engagement story.</p>
<p>Erika &amp; Ryan</p>
<p>P.s- All photos of Ryan and I together were taken by Tim. Thanks Tim.</p>

<p>On our first night in the city I had to go to NBC studios, there were tons of people sleeping in the street waiting for Saturday Night Live the following night. I put us into the lottery this year to see if we could get tickets for the trip. Hopefully our names get called. 5 years ago they were called but we couldn&#8217;t make it. Hopefully we get a second chance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its not too often that we fall in love, but sometimes, something just moves you and you can&#8217;t help but fall. That&#8217;s what happened in Iceland earlier this month, Ryan and I fell in love&#8230;.. with Iceland. The land of fire and ice, a waterfall around every corner, so many sheep that they out number the human population 2:1 and mountains for miles. It is the only place (I can think of) in the world where you can chill in a natural hot spring, stand at the base of a glacier, hike to the top of a mountain and peer out into the ocean and look inside a volcano all in one day. We did all that!</p>
<p>10 days driving around Iceland, staying at bed and breakfasts and experiencing the culture and landscapes. We were traveling with Greg &amp; Lisa (who you will see very soon again on our blog) for their destination honeymoon sessions. We had 2 cars, hotels and bed and breakfasts booked all over the country. We chose the best locations to visit together for photos, and the rest of the time we had to just explore.</p>
<p>Here are some portraits Ryan and I took of one another along with a a bunch of our travel landscapes and cityscapes.</p>
<p>This is us at the Glacial Lagoon called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jökulsárlón">Jökulsárlón</a>. These icebergs break off of the glacier <a title="Vatnajökull" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatnaj%C3%B6kull">Vatnajökul</a>. It is the most magical place I have ever seen. Just driving up to it took my breath away. It is one of those moments I will remember for the rest of my life.</p>

<p>Icelandic Horses and sheep roam free for half the year. We often saw them hiking up mountains.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8870" title="icelandic horses" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/icelandic-horses.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="918" /></p>

<p>Búðir is a small hamlet surrounded by lava fields. The first time I saw a photo of this church over a year ago I knew I had to shoot a wedding, or a couple there one day. The colours of the mountains and volcanoes around it are so intense, and even though they skies are overcast, the clouds are always a blue grey colour.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8873" title="iceland black church" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/iceland-black-church.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="422" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8874" title="black church at Búðir Iceland" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/black-church-at-Búðir-Iceland.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p>I love this photo below, this whole park was really interesting, it is called Dimmuborgir. Dimm meaning &#8220;dark&#8221; and borgir meaning &#8220;cities&#8221;. It is said to be the home of many trolls. We didn&#8217;t see any. But there were tons of rock formations to climb around in.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8893" title="couple kissing at Dimmuborgir iceland" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/couple-kissing-at-Dimmuborgir-iceland.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p>This is Ryan standing right outside of Krafla volcano. It erupted in 1989. The smoke you see is not it erupting now, that is just gas escaping from the ground, it seems to be happening everywhere in Iceland. Ryan hiked all the way through a lava field to get there.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8875" title="krafla volcano" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/krafla-volcano.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8876" title="100812-043658-00726" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/100812-043658-00726.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p>Sometimes we would just be driving through a beautiful mountain range and all of a sudden we turn a corner and it looks like we are on another planet! Lava fields they are everywhere. The older they are the less black rock you can see. The one in this portrait of us seems to be pretty old because moss has grown on all the rocks. These volcanic rocks are really sharp and pointy so walking on them is pretty dangerous. In this pic we are standing in front of the highway with our camera rigged to the car with a clamp.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8877" title="lava field portraits iceland" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/lava-field-portraots-iceland.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="612" /></p>
<p>These next few are taken in Akureyri, the capital of Northern Iceland.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8878" title="flowers akureyri iceland" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/flowers-akureyri-iceland.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="422" /></p>

<p>I love these 2 pics, first the one on the right because the red light is shaped like a heart. All red lights in Akureyri are. Then the left photo. I am really proud of Ryan and I for learning so many Icelandic words and city names, but that top word is just crazy!  Can you imagine saying &#8220;Meet me at Uppysingamiðistoði&#8221; ? (Oh and the funny &#8220;d&#8221; is pronounced like a &#8220;th&#8221; sounding like &#8220;the&#8221; in English) Good Luck!</p>

<p>Now these next photos are straight out of the camera, I only edited fly away hairs on my face and bags from Ryan&#8217;s tired eyes. The sky really did look like that. It was that blue.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8881" title="icelandic photography" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/icelandic-photography.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="422" /></p>

<p>My feet in Reykjavik &amp; at Vik the black sand beach.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8883" title="black sand beach Vik Iceland" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/black-sand-beach-Vik-Iceland.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="305" /></p>

<p>Here we are at the base camp of <a title="Vatnajökull" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatnaj%C3%B6kull">Vatnajökul</a> Glacier. Its covered in ash because it is right beside the now famous volcano Eyjafjallajökull (which I still cannot pronounce). They had sherpa&#8217;s for hire to take you up the glacier. We were so close to the volcano, but because it was so deep in the mountains and underneath a glacier there are no remnants of the explosion except for this ash.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8885" title="icelandic glacier portrait" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/icelandic-glacier-portrait.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="305" /></p>
<p>This is a panorama taken from the top of a rock fortress in West Iceland near Grundarfjörður. (Pronounced Groon-dar-fee-your-thur)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8887" title="Skagafjörður iceland panorama" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Skagafjörður-iceland-panorama.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="224" /></p>

<p>Finally the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. I love this city, its about as big as Barrie, with only 200,000 people, and more places to buy <em>Pylsurs</em> than anywhere else I&#8217;ve ever been to. Pylsurs are an all beef gourmet hotdog with no filler. Tastes awesome, although their idea of mustard is a bit different. It is the most popular restaurant in Reykjavik<em>.</em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8888" title="reykjavik city photos" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/reykjavik-city-photos.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="305" /></p>

<p>This church on the right towers above Reykjavik and is quite stunning at night. Its called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallgr%C3%ADmskirkja">Hallgrímskirkja.</a> Kirkja means church.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8890" title="reykjavik church iceland" src="http://cdn.rowellphoto.com/wedding/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/reykjavik-church-iceland.jpg" alt="" width="918" height="685" /></p>
<p>Anywhere and everywhere you go in Iceland you can find someone who can sell you a traditional Icelandic wool sweater. Seriously you can get them at gas stations, book stores, coffee shops, hotels and any major tourist attraction. They are expensive, but they are all made in Iceland and mostly by hand. The last photo below is us wearing our cool new threads. People of all ages wear these traditional sweaters.  We also treated ourselves to some fun <a href="http://www.66north.com/splash.asp?rf=g01-01&amp;utm_nooverride=1&amp;gclid=CLjfrbXD7KMCFUcz5wodJDXO2g">North 66 </a>hats. North 66 is like our The North Face company but better.</p>
<p>This photo was taken on our last night, we wanted a night time shot of us over looking Reykjavik. The sky that night was unbelievable, the colours, once again were amazing. We walked up to one of the highest points in the city and started taking photos of the night sky. Since the sun stays up until almost midnight, the sun sets take a lot longer. People started gathering from side streets up the hill where we were to watch the sun set. It was a pretty amazing night. Our trip was so surreal, Ryan and I just look at these photos and we can&#8217;t even believe we took them, or believe the things we have seen. Seeing this much beauty is almost overwhelming, but I am definitely not complaining. I am just thankful that I have been able to experience it.</p>
