Ch, Ch, Ch, Changes … at Custom Concept Photography

Serving you better by appointment only.

Spring changes are all around. At Custom Concept Photography we are changing also to serve you better. Over the last 12 years we have had regular studio hours. As the photography industry changes so must we. Trish and I find that we are out of the studio more often and prefer not to put up a sign saying,

“Sorry for the inconvenience. We are out on a Photo shoot and will be back at 4:00pm.”

No one likes to show up at a business and find they are closed at that time. For that reason effective April 5th Custom Concept Photography will be by appointment only. Other than that business still carries on as usual. We feel this shouldn’t affect photography that much as most of our photography is done by appointment already. Our framing clients will now have to book in rather than walk in. Pick ups will be similar too.

We understand that there will be an adjustment period for a short time. We apologize for that, but in the long run it will make business more efficient.

We thank you for your patience and Trish and I look forward to growing personally and as a business. This adjustment will give us the time needed to get out of the studio to meet with clients and network with other business professionals without disappointing a pop-in client.

If you have any questions please feel free to call the studio and talk with Trish or I at 519.425.1249.

Best regards,

Trevor and Trish

Riverside Engagement Session

Ingersoll Engagement Photography | Jess & Greg

Jess and Greg are getting married on August 7, 2010. Like most organized couples they booked us last year. What they didn’t know is that they would become a little famous in our community. You see, Ingersoll has this great publication named “Here in Ingersoll”. (If the cute little blonde kid on the summer 2010 front cover looks familiar it’s because we did the cover and it’s our son Sterling) Inside you will find all sorts of information on what’s going on in town from festivals to parks and recreation schedules to stories and interesting facts about town. Over the last couple issues you will have also been able to follow a bride and groom; our Bride and Groom, Jess and Greg!

Last year, myself and few local wedding vendors thought it would be a great idea to showcase Ingersoll as a great destination for brides with in 45 minutes of town to come and plan their weddings in a relaxed small town atmosphere. You see, on our main street, and and side streets, you can find a GREAT photographer (us), a wedding gown and formal wear shop (Sew Stylish), a caterer/wedding cakes (The Olde Bakery Cafe), wedding rings (Lesser Brothers Jewelers), Reception Hall (Elm Hurst Inn), wedding favours (weddingfavours.ca), invitations, flowers (Floral Occassions, Fernlea Flowers), wine making (Ingersoll Water and Wine), hotels and many more wedding services. “Happily Ever After” really does begin in Ingersoll. One ways of promoting our group was to follow a bride as she planned her whole wedding in Ingersoll. Jess will be using lots of services in Ingersoll and their wedding will be at the Elm Hurst. “Here in Ingersoll” has been keeping a diary (photos by Trish) of the events and it has been published in the last two issues with one or two more to go with the actual engagement and wedding photos. Here is a sneak peak of what you will see from their engagement session with Trish. Check back to see the past issues of Here In Ingersoll and the final post with their wedding. Also the wedding group does have an official website. Although it is still under construction, you can check out where we’re going with it. WWW.INGERSOLLWEDDINGS.COM

We look forward to helping you plan your wedding in Ingersoll,

Beautiful Fall Engagement Photography – Jennifer and Patryk

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:44:42 +0000

As three posts back stated, “It was a dark and stormy night”…Well this was in the morning before all that started. We met Jennifer and Patryk Halloween day at the Elsie Perrin Williams Estate in London Ontario just down the road from their home. What a wonderful day for a fall engagement session with a couple so in love and dressed so well.

I love the estate. Such a beautiful setting backing on to the river. I think it may hold a special place in my heart because it is where I assisted Trish for the first time. It was a quaint winter wedding between Christmas and New Years ten years ago.

I know the house at the estate is beautiful but we wanted to use other places on the estate so they didn’t look like all the other photos taken there.

Jennifer and Patryk, thank you for inviting us into your life and trusting us to tell your story with our images.

Forest Ontario Engagement Photography – Amber and Tyler

admin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:39:39 +0000

It was a dark and stormy night…Well not really, but it did start off bad. After meeting Amber and Tyler at the Tim Horton’s in Forest we headed to Amber’s cottage. Along the way it started to rain and then the sky darkened as the rain quickly turned into a wet snow. What was starting to look like a potentially washed out engagement session, luckily turned out to be a cool but beautiful fall day for Amber and Tyler’s engagement session on the beach. What do you expect, it was Halloween day. Not soon after Trish started to do photos inside the cottage, the sun broke through and delivered an incredible rainbow that we unfortunately missed. This left us with a great day to finish their engagement session outside.

When Amber asked us if we would drive an hour to her cottage to do their engagement photos, I totally understood why! Like Amber, I also have a family cottage that means so much to me, and my family. Amber spent her summers at her’s since she was 12 and her love for the family cottage has rubbed off on Tyler. The cottage has become a very special place for both of them to spend quality time together and grow their love for each other. As a father, I know how much I love watching Sterling and Tristan experience so many new adventures that only the cottage can bring. While talking to Amber and Tyler about their future family, you can’t help but see how excited they are to get married and start a family that I know is going to cherish many summers at their cottage too. Amber and Tyler, you guys did a great job and look absolutely wonderful together. We can’t wait to photograph your wedding. Until then, here are your engagement photos to show off taken at a place that means so much to both of you.

Enjoy,

Your Forest Ontario Engagement Photographer,

Trish Roberts, Custom Concept Photography

Port Burwell Engagement Photography – Kristy & Quincy

admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:48:26 +0000

After Kristy and Quincy came running by the other day while we were setting up for this weekend’s Christmas Card Photo Day, I figure you would like to see them looking their best instead of sweaty from their run.

Before viewing the following images I must warn you of some nudity! It’s not everyday that nudity occurs during an engagement session but this was no ordinary engagement session in Port Burwell. Not only is Kristy one of our 2010 brides but she and her mom (fAunt Deb, fAunt meaning a fake Aunt but with all the importance and love of a real one, making Kristy a fousin) have a special relationship with our son Sterling. So, when it came time to photograph Kristy, we made it a family trip to the beach. Much to our surprise as we were photographing Kristy and Quincy, Sterling was boldly stripping down to his birthday suit and heading straight for the water.

Kristy and Quincy, you two did a great job even when being distracted by Sterling. We had a fun time with you two and the images turned out great. We all can’t wait for the wedding and we’ll try to keep Sterling’s clothes on. Good thing you’re not getting married on a beach.

Enjoy the images!! The last one is my favourite.

Sincerely your Port Burwell Engagement Photographer,

Trish and Trevor Roberts
