Danielle & Jeff ~ An Intimate Fredericton Engagement Session in the Water As photographers, we have a never-ending bucket list of creative ideas. We admit that some are a little nutty and need some persuading of couples. But once in a while we kind of throw an idea out there and a couple gets just as excited as we do! This is exactly what happened with Danielle and Jeff’s Fredericton engagement session. When we visited New Brunswick last summer we suggested to take D & J’s engagement photos somewhere in the wilderness, because well you know, we love to get a little wild (okay not the greatest pun, but it fits!) As a
A Week in Review
It’s that time again, another week has gone by (okay a little late this time, but I’m thinking it may make more sense to do this at the end of a week as opposed to the beginning?!) So here is what went down, what inspired me, what made me laugh, and what I found intriguing from last week – enjoy….
Selvia & Jeffry ~ A Vintage Engagement in Toronto
One chilly November afternoon, I met with Jeffry and Selvia downtown Toronto. Despite the cold weather, these two were all smiles ready to have me follow them around downtown and capture their obvious adoration for each other. Jeffry and Selvia’s story is an epic international tale. The two met in school on their first day in university in summer 2006 in Asia. They were instantly smitten with one another and went out of their way to spend as much time together as possible – they secretly signed up for all of the same group projects and any free time they had was spent talking, laughing, and dreaming about their future
Virginia & Scott ~ A Lakeside Muskoka Wedding
Calm and serene would be the two words we would use to describe Virginia and Scott. Everything about these two is laid back and lovely. Including their stunning Lake Rosseau wedding in Muskoka; a place close to their hearts as both Virginia and Scott spent their childhood summers in the heart of Ontario’s cottage country. When we met Scott and Ginny (as she is affectionately called by those closest to her) we couldn’t help but be smitten! Their obvious adoration for one another was evident immediately. With stolen glances, light touches, and kind exchanges – these two would make anyone’s heart melt. We were so excited to shoot their wedding on
Preserving your Memories…
Photographs are meant to be looked at, admired, and shared – no matter the medium in which they appear. That being said, there is no denying that although looking at your images on a computer screen can feel inspiring, seeing a photograph in print imbues an image with a unique kind of tangible feel. Think about the last time you came across your parents or grandparents’ family photo album – if you are anything like us then you probably spent a good chunk of time looking through it, admiring the longevity of the beautiful photographs encased within, and laughing at some of the ridiculously outdated fashions (or maybe that’s just us?!)
Samantha & Tyler ~ An Intimate Wildflower Wedding in Caledon
Samantha and Tyler just make us happy, like really smiling-like-baffoons-silly happy! Their story began in middle school when they met and became friends and were virtually inseparable. Although they did not officially start dating until the last year of high school, it was clear to all of their friends that the two were meant to be together right from the start – and we couldn’t agree more. With a mutual love for nature, Sam and Tyler spend as much time as possible exploring the outdoors and knowing how much his high school sweetheart loves wild flowers, Tyler proposed to Samantha at the Royal Botanical Garden while her favourite flowers, lilacs,
Mike & Kerri Post-Wedding Portrait
Mike and Kerri are good friends of ours and we were honoured when they asked us to join them in Jamaica to capture their special day (week) in May. Unfortunately because of previous wedding engagements we were unable to attend but offered the lovebirds a post-wedding session in their hometown of Cambridge. We absolutely loved spending time with the two newlyweds walking around their hometown, snapping some photos, and stopping in to one of their favourite juice bars! Mike and Kerry’s energy was absolutely infectious and even despite the heat of the day, these two just loved laughing, kissing, and posing for the cameras!
Niki & Kyle Post-Wedding Portrait
Niki and Kyle are not only adorable and crazy in-love they also happen to be two of our closest friends, so you can imagine our delight when they asked us to photograph their wedding (featured on the Desire Hartsock Blog here) in Mexico this past winter. As it sometimes goes, scheduling wasn’t exactly in our favour and we only had a small amount of time between the reception and ceremony to take photos, so to make up for the short amount of time on the day of, we convinced the duo to let us take some post-wedding photographs. We scheduled the session for the late afternoon, so not to disrupt
Engaged ~ Jeff & Michelle
If we had to use one word to describe Jeff and Michelle it would be “adorable”! Their fun-loving energy and obvious adoration for each other is absolutely infectious, not to mention that they are hilarious and have us in stitches almost every time we meet. Although there is some confusion as to how these two met (Jeff claims Michelle picked him up at a club, to which Michelle retorts, “In your dreams!”) we sure are glad that they did! Because Michelle and Jeff are city folk through and through, we decided to take them for a walk through Fort York and City Place for their engagement. So on a chilly and snowy
Engaged ~ Cayley & Sean
It was love at first sight…and we mean between us and Cayley and Sean! When we first met this adorable couple we instantly wanted to be their friends. Their energy is contagious and their humour infectious. For their engagement session we decided to keep it simple and bring them for a walk along Lake Ontario. Also, because Cayley and Sean met at a pub close to the university they both attended, it only made sense to incorporate a few pints of Guinness into the mix. And what a mix it was, these two had us giggling the entire time! Their love for one another is so evident (and swoon-worthy) that we
