Anna & Geoff's Toronto Engagement Photos

We did Anna and Geoff's Toronto engagement photos down near Cherry Beach. There are so many great little spots there - the boardwalk, the forest, the beach house - it's one of my favourite places to shoot.

Anna and Geoff told me they were terrible in front of the camera... Of course we got started and they were awesome.

In fact, Geoff - "the shy one" - seemed to forget I was even there. Anna helped with that - she's a total joker and had him laughing and smiling all afternoon.

Michelle & Pawel's Sunrise Engagement - Flatiron Building Toronto

Michelle and Pawel are a delightful, sweet couple! We met in downtown Toronto, one cold but sunny Sunday morning in April to do their engagement photos. They were so playful and funny - they must be morning people!

We walked about the Flatiron Building in Toronto and totally lucked out! The early morning light reflected off the skyscrapers nearby, casting a beautiful glow over the vintage brick and ironwork, illuminating the whole park.

Grace & Ervin's Springtime Romance - University of Toronto Engagement Photos

Grace and Ervin were one of the easiest couples to capture on film. Their secret? They are totally in the moment! Honestly, sometimes it felt like they were the only two people in the world. I shot their University of Toronto engagement photos on the grounds of the beautiful Victoria College campus, in the golden afternoon sun.

The hazy light combined with the fact that, left to their own devices Ervin and Grace are in a world of their own, made for a totally romantic engagement shoot. It even left me feeling dreamy.

I can't wait to post images from their gorgeous bridal photo session, and I am so happy that I'll be present when these two lovebirds tie the knot in June!

Grace was glowing, with her makeup and hair by Toronto's Jennifer Schulz.

Congratulations to Grace & Ervin on the birth of their daughter Emma! See if you can spot them, in their happy maternity times, in the 2014 slideshow here!

Shelby & Ian - Up up and Away!

If you think Shelby & Ian's Unionville engagement photos looked like a LOT of fun, that's because they were. We explored - no, we adventured - around Unionville one Sunday morning last fall. Words wont really suffice to describe the day, or this funny, warm couple... But pictures might.

Lisanne & Adam's Apple Orchard Engagement

When Lisanne and Adam told me they had found an apple orchard for their engagement photo session, I was so excited! I am always looking for new locations to do photo shoots, and if a couple can suggest something unique - I'm in. I drove to Devins Orchards near Aurora, and was blown away by the "countryside" feel - hills, forest, wildflowers - so close to the city! The fall colours were incredible under the golden, autumn sun. We were also lucky because this magnificent orchard would soon be closing down for the winter and we had the entire place, in its harvest-season glory, to ourselves.

Wandering through the apple trees was peaceful and romantic, though the quiet conversation was interspersed with Lisanne's joking around. I looked at this awesome couple and could tell they were going to keep smiles on each others' faces for a lifetime to come.

Happiness.

Thank you Lisanne and Adam.
