kate + matt | oakville engagement photography

Kate and Matt were a dream to photograph.  They were relaxed, they were comfortable together, and they were so easy going, warm and friendly.  This shoot happened on a windy day in late fall on the lakefront, and so it was more than a little chilly.  Kate and Matt took it in stride, and just...

Patricia + Anthony | Engagement Photography in the Distillery District, Toronto

We are so excited to photograph Patricia and Anthony’s wedding next summer.  It is always nice to do an engagement shoot before the wedding, because we get a sense of the personalities of the couple we are working with, and get to know their style, how they fit together, and what they are up for...

Val & Max | A Toronto Island Engagement Shoot

We always say that although we can execute beautiful photographs, it’s up to the couple to let their personalities and chemistry shine through the lens.  Val and Max were a dream to photograph.  They were so cute, playful and carefree with one another, that they made our job very easy.  We walked, we laughed, we...

Meghan + Kevin | A Leslieville Engagement Shoot, Toronto

We decided to head to the colorful neighborhood of Queen East to shoot the engagement of Meghan and Kevin.  There are so many cute nooks and crannies in the area that we were able to walk from one location to the next for a great variety of backdrops. Meghan and Kevin were relaxed and laid...

Ashley + Rob | An Evergreen Brickworks Engagement Shoot, Toronto

Who says November isn’t an ideal month for photographs?  You don’t need leaves for awesome photos.  Quite the contrary, we love the muted colours that November brings.  And if colour is your thing, well, it can come from pretty much anything – check out the vibrant blue backdrop we got from a construction bin.  Granted,...
