Lisa & Rich's Scarborough Bluffs Engagement Photos
 

We did Lisa & Rich's Scarborough Bluffs engagement photos on a gorgeous day,  a perfect day, in nature and at the beach. Wandering through the trees it didn't take much to get these two talking and laughing. I loved the way Lisa gazed at Rich with her big beautiful eyes, and it's no wonder – Rich had her laughing and smiling the whole time.

Cottage Country Engagement Photos - Lelania & Mike
Cottage-Country-Engagement_14.jpg

How honoured I am to be shooting the wedding of one of my favourite photographers, and my lovely friend! I remember the day Lelania came to work, saying she had "met an awesome guy on the bus". On the night bus, no less, on her way home from a night out with her sister. Before saying what I was thinking (something along the lines of, "nobody meets an awesome guy on the night bus, Lelania!"), I stole a glance at her and stopped in my tracks. The woman was bubbling with excitement. I said nothing.

Before long, we had all met Mike. Kind and funny, helpful, and a perfect match for our vibrant friend. The studio was a-buzz with gossip ("I think he's the one," "Oh, I always thought he was the one...").

And he was the one.

Lelania and Mike and I road-tripped to the Township of Tiny, to do their cottage country engagement photos.

In the dusky glow of summer, they walked in the woods near Mike's family cottage, making each other laugh, and holding hands like there was no one else in the world. Before dark, we went to the beach to soak in the summertime vibes of this small Ontario town. Gazing out at Georgian Bay, dipping their toes in the shore, and breathing in the feeling of the future.

How wonderful life is.

Courtney & Joe's Downtown Toronto Engagement Photos

For Courtney and Joe's downtown Toronto engagement photos, we decided to meet at the gorgeous La Société in Yorkville. It was early, and the restaurant was quiet enough for them to enjoy an after-work drink together, and for me to skulk around gazing at the breathtaking stained glass ceiling, and spying on them through plants... Yes, that is part of my wonderful world of "couples photography". We walked down to U of T for more photos, and ended up having a most hilarious, yet romantic time. Laughing and whispering stories to one another amongst the age-old stone walls of Victoria College, I felt happy just being in the company of Joe and Courtney.

Courtney and Joe, thank you, firstly, for introducing me to the phrase "hot breath"... My photo shoots will never be the same. Can't wait to photograph your Niagara wedding this weekend!!

Andrea & Josh at Main Street Unionville

This engagement shoot was so much fun! I met Andrea years ago, when I first graduated university - I was the volunteer photographer for her organization, Endeavour Volunteer Consulting for Non-Profits. I can say that along side second shooting at weddings, Endeavour taught me how to be an event photographer... But enough about me!

Andrea and Josh got engaged last year at Niagara falls, and I was thrilled to hear the news. They wanted to do their photos at Main Street Unionville, where they went for ice cream on their first date. Um... ROMANTIC.

The light, the gorgeous greenery (I mean can you believe that bridge scene?!) and of course the secret and not-so-secret smiles between two people who have searched the world and found one another. Jeez, life is beautiful.
