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!

I met Elle Daftarian after photographing her for Persian Tribune Magazine. I was thrilled to capture Elle's daughter's first communion party. In celebration of her first communion, the charming Sophia and her girl-posse had a fabulous time. The afternoon included outfit changes, family and friends, a fancy makeup table, and an exquisite dessert table made by Petite & Sweet (AKA Elle Daftarian ;)).

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.

After a long wait (while Ian was designing and building a race car in Italy - just sayin') I can't wait to finally shoot their wedding Next Saturday - Loads more fun to come!!

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.

I met Adinne and reese (yes, with a small r) while photographing another wedding, and I thought they were fabulous. So you can imagine my delight when I found out they were engaged to be married! For their engagement photo session these two were ideal because they wanted photos that were very personal and unique to their life - my favourite! They took me on a tour of their fantastic neighbourhood, the Annex in Toronto. We walked from their house past the local convenience store, Steven's - an Annex institution. Afternoon sunlight set the perfect mood for this vibrant, urban and totally in love couple. Adinne and reese then introduced me to the local breakfast place, Grapefruit Moon, a wonderful place for weekend brunch or a late afternoon beverage... And seeing as they are regulars, everyone in the restaurant seemed thrilled with their engagement too! Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your lives. I'm so glad that I met you through Denise & Charlie - it's been awesome getting to know such fun-loving, smart and interesting folks. The joy you bring each other is contagious and I can't wait to post the wedding photos! ~ Kate
