Engagement Shoots

What better way to get back in the swing of things after a 10 month hiatus than with this chilled out, personable couple? We have the best clients!

We booked Beth & Ronnie via email while we were away on our honeymoon, and when we met up to share a beer in the west end and finally meet in person we hit it off instantly! They're sweet, laid back, happy and easy to talk to - a perfect combination - not only that, but they have a great story fueled by some awesome Canadian Art...

I met Kerri back in University when we were both in the Photography Program at Ryerson - the days of darkrooms, critiques, late-night poker games and tech classes - ah the memories! This year we discovered that we actually live quite close to one and other, and I've had a chance to get to know her now husband and adorable dog, Alpine. When I heard that these two were engaged, I was thrilled for them - and, of course, had to take them out for a session!

Let's start it off with one of my favourites:

You might remember Jordan & Bill from a few years back when we had the pleasure of doing a "Trash The Dress" session with this pair about a year after their wedding. I was excited to hear that this duo was pregnant and I jumped at the chance to work with them again! I've known Jordan since high school and trust me when I say that she's one of those people who you just see as a mother... I was truly happy for them when I heard there were about to have a family of their own. It was great to catch up and work with them again.

Last month we met up with Wendy & James for an out of town session at Flat Rock Cellars - a stunningly beautiful vineyard in Jordan, ON. It was the perfect fit for these two - they wanted something unique, but classic and they actually served one of Flat Rock's wines Twisted at their reception.

Liz, Victor & I met up downtown for an urban shoot in the Queen West area complete with vintage green Raleigh and a flowing yellow gown! It was a great time from start to finish as we wondered around the area together in search of the best backdrops. We even convinced a nearby lounge to lend us a pair of bright-red chairs for a few shots out back... a perfect pop of colour! Here are a few of my favourites from the session - thanks for being so laid back and easy going guys. Trevor & I can't wait to work with you both in August!

Let's start with one of my favourites from Queen Street:

Ayesha & Michael are sweet, bubbly and completely easy to be around - after hearing their story we agreed to meet up with them in Peterborough (their old stomping grounds) for a sentimental session at a location that holds special meaning for them.

Summer seems to be the season when the family session requests creep out of the wood-works... everyone gets together for parties, guests come in from out of town, and the late afternoon light is pretty much irresistible. I think it's the one season when everyone in the family can agree that they love to meet up and enjoy the outdoors.

We've done a few great sessions so far this season, and of course as always we like to encourage our clients to bring along the WHOLE family for their session:

Pam & Kelly's presence together can pretty much be summed up in one word: adorable. They are so cute together that it's easy to see how in love they are - joking, giggling, cuddling and entertaining each other throughout the entire shoot they made our job's easy!

Let's start it off with one of my fav's:

Last weekend Trev & I packed up our gear and headed north to meet Michele & Greg at their cottage for a snowy winter engagement session. Was it ever worth the drive! We had a stunning, clear, sunny day to work with AND and adorable puppy named George who kept us on our toes.

Amanda & John are such a sweet couple - kind and considerate of each other they are planning what is sure to be a stunning wedding up north. They've both got a great sense of style and I can't wait to see what them come up with in June!
