Andrea & Chris' Bicycling Adventure Engagement

Andrea and Chris wanted to do something fun for their engagement photos, and decided on involving their passion for biking. Creating the images of Andrea and Chris checking out and chasing each other, with Chris' extra-fancy bicycle, had us all laughing our heads off. This outdoorsy couple brought me around the downtown Oakville waterfront, where we walked among beautiful gardens, explored gorgeous, little streets close to Lake Ontario, and basked in the setting sun on the harbour.

Chris and Andrea I am SO excited for your wedding day - it has been wonderful getting to know such great folks and the best is yet to come!!!

Sahrah & Aaron's Sunset at the Beach

Introducing Sahrah and Aaron. This charming couple suggested Ashbridges Bay for their engagement photos. Avid and awesome volleyball players, the beaches are a favourite spot for them, and inarguably romantic. We met before sunset and wandered the boardwalk before crossing onto the sand.

Sahrah's beautiful smile was enough to distract camera-shy Aaron, and she  had an inherent ability to make him laugh. Sweet nothings and somethings, mixed with a lot of playing around... the sun set in a flash and none of us could believe the evening went by so quickly.

Thanks Aaron and Sahrah for a wonderful evening at the beach - I can't wait to shoot your wedding in August!!

Daniella & Jean's Romantic, Roaming Engagement Photos

Daniella and Jean wanted to visit a horse ranch for their engagement photos - I couldn't have been happier! We discovered the Silver Spur Ranch in the beautiful Kleinburg area, and wandered the grounds as the sun began to set.

There's little I can add to the majesty of this setting, and even less for the happy giggling and joyful laughter and energy between this lovely couple. The smiles speak for themselves.

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 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.
