custom designed wedding albums
Captured Soul Photography is ecstatic to offer simple and stylish wedding albums – giving you the perfect way to enjoy your images for a lifetime with a whole lot of flair...
After hunting through what seemed every album company available, I finally settled on a small North American company that offers the MOST beautiful and simplest hand-made albums. I say simple because the album itself does not steal the stage - it compliments the photos and allows them to be the main attraction. As a photographer and designer, I am thrilled to find a company that works so well with my own viewpoint and business model. And I am incredibly pleased to now offer these phenomenal books to you.

trash the dress sessions
Why "Trash the Dress"?
The day is over, it's time to play. All of those moments being a little worried about getting the dress dirty or snagged are gone and over. You now have a beautiful dress and are about to have it cleaned, hermetically sealed and put away on a closet shelf - or - you can put it on again, play in it, wade in the water, climb a tree, get a little dirty or a lot dirty. It's up to you. But you'll have some wonderful photos to show for it - and you've gotten another wear out of your perfectly stunning dress. Then if you like, have it cleaned and sealed up - or donate it to a great cause. Whatever you do with it, know that you have gotten good use out of this incredible gown - whether you completely "trash" it or not!

Trash The Dress Portrait Package: $350. plus applicable taxes.
(Rate without package purchase: $500. plus applicable taxes)
The Trash the Dress Package Includes:
• Post-wedding portrait session (approximately 1.5 to 2 hours)
• Unlimited photos (on average you receive: 300+ final images)

*mixed selection of colour, black & white, blue wash, aged photo, artist rendition, glow, white wash, sepia tone processing, etc - photos selected by the photographer.
• All final images presented to you on DVD* in two formats: low resolution (420x680, 72dpi) with watermark for web/email use and high resolution (300 dpi) without watermark for prints

Recent survey client responses:
Why book an engagement session?
"I liked being able to get to know you [the photographer], get comfortable with your style, and for you to get to know us. I love the photos, but I think the experience of having had that pre-wedding day time with you was the most valuable part. I felt much more knowledgeable about how to work with you to get the best shots because of what I learned during the engagement shoot."
Emily & Nate
If you could make a recommendation to a new bride-to-be in regards to which photos services to order, what would you tell them?
"I got everything and more I ever could have wanted from a photographer and even some services offered to me that I wasn't sure I would be able to find (Trash the Dress Shoot!!!). I do love the proof books ... [and] definitely book an engagement shoot. It gives you a feel for Michelle and what to expect... Plus once you get your photos back, you can see what you like, styles, poses, angles, etc and make mental notes for your wedding day. Working with Michelle on our engagement shoot really calmed the nerves of my camera shy fiancé."
Kelly & David
Why book an engagement session?
"I really enjoyed our engagement shoot... we used [the photos] for many events & things leading up to the wedding. It also gave us the opportunity to get to know you as well as your photography style before the big day! When we got our engagement photos back we without a doubt knew we made the right decision on who should capture our wedding day!"
Kym & Matt
According to our 2009 survey:
100% of couples that booked an engagement session would recommend one to another bride... and several couples that didn't book one responded that they wish they had.
Why book an engagement session?

Crystal & Chris
"Michelle...is very friendly, easy-going and made [our wedding photos] such an easy process for us. She knows what people want and does anything to make it happen (including laying on the sidewalk in April when it's 10 degrees to take a picture of the church)."
Sarah & Mike
According to our 2009 survey:
100% of couples that ordered/received a proofbook would recommend one to another bride... The response and comments were so overwhelmingly positive that Captured Soul has now included a free proofbook with every newly booked local and destination wedding package!

Emily & Nate
"You have totally made our day!! We just received the proof book and the CDs of our pictures. That book is way too cute! We love it and will probably add it to our coffee table book collection! Thank you for putting those together for us and all of your help. We continue to receive rave reviews about the photos..."
Davis & Kuyler

Thank you so much for capturing the essence of our wedding day. The services and little extras you included in your package have been truly exceptional. You exceeded our expectations at every turn. Wishing you continued success,"
Tracy & Baude
"Michelle: You're GREAT!!! You made my day and I love looking back at my pictures. Loved having you there with me for most of the day only wish I could have had more time to get more great photo's. Highly recommended you to everyone I heard that was looking for a photographer."
Cara & Leigh
If you could make a recommendation to a new bride-to-be in regards to which photos services to order, what would you tell them?

Emily & Nate

Crystal & Chris
"Troy and I just wanted to take this time to thank you again for everything you have done for us throughout the wedding. We really appreciate it... The photo's are amazing. I love them and I have gotten a lot of feedback from the wedding party that they already have their fav's picked out as well. Thanks again for everything... your work is truly an art that no one else has come close to doing. "
Nicole & Troy
Guelph, ON
"Jeff and I would like to thank you for being such an important part of our day. Our family and friends are still gushing about your sense of humour and the tidbits of advice you were able to offer along the way! Your photojournalistic style captured us and the feel of our day perfectly! Each and every one of the 1231 pictures that you processed look amazing!
