I am so happy to share Vanessa & Mark's Toronto Beaches engagement photos. I met this lovely couple when Vanessa was a bridesmaid in Kate & Ben's wedding, and was absolutely thrilled when I found out they were engaged. We decided to do engagement photos in their gorgeous neighbourhood, the Beach, in east Toronto. We started at Glen Stewart Park, near their house, and then went to take photos on the Beach of Ashbridges Bay.

It was autumn, and the fall colours were breathtaking... But what was more beautiful was the connection between Mark and Vanessa. I want to say more, but I think the images speak for themselves.

Engagement photos are the perfect way to take time out and enjoy one another during wedding planning.

Congratulations, Vanessa and Mark! I'm so honoured share the photos from your beautiful wedding at the Oakville Golf Club, as well! 

I love doing Toronto Island engagement photos... It's so magical over there ~ it doesn't even feel like you're in the city! I met up with Kerri & Jeff and we took the ferry over for a gorgeous afternoon last fall. We wandered about on both Ward Island and Algonquin Island, exploring the cottages, frolicking in the greenness-hippie-heaven, and enjoying the season's last rays of sunshine.

(We also had our fair share of discussion on politics, books, and yoga... I had to remind myself this day was about them and not me, to stop myself from asking Kerri and Jeff's opinions on everything, and taking notes for my own interest!)

At dusk it got windy so we stopped in at the Island Cafe for tea. I wandered off looking at the art pieces decorating the quirky, outdoor cafe, while Jeff and Kerri snuggled and giggled and kept one another warm.

Fantastic day with fantastic people. Indeed!
