This weekends engagement shoot was so much fun!

I planed a route for us from Café Landwer on university to Osgoode Hall And then out to Polson Pier for a few night photos.

The cafe was very obliging for our spontaneous engagement session - excellent hard working staff and amazing drinks - I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their selection.

Walking to Osgoode hall didn’t take too long, I remember when I first discovered this as shoot location and it’s remained one of my favourites over the years.

I always like to have a moment on an engagement shoot for the couple to practice their first dance, I play their song and it’s a sweet moment - what I wasn’t expecting was a full out waltz with excellent form - Daniel is very passionate!

We ended the shoot at Polson Pier for some photos of the city skyline in the background, the nearby suspension bridges provided awesome leading lines and the traffic with their headlights really helped make parts of that scene very cinematic.

I’d like to hear from you as well, do you prefer shooting in daylight at a cute cafe and beautiful architecture or the dramatic night photography with city lights?

Something about the aesthetics of Mikayla and Hunters’s wedding made me think of Pride & Prejudice. With a little imagination you’d almost think the hotel in the background was an English country estate like Pemberley. One of my favourite moments from this wedding was during an embarrassing speech that included rapping and singing; Mikayla gave such an authenticity bashful expression. Brining moments like this to life permanently, these uncontrolled honest expressions, makes a moment feel so real. I hope when they look back at photos like that they can still hear the joy in the room.

One thing I’ll always remember about Tim & Chantal’s wedding was starting the day in that gorgeous studio. Such a beautiful and confident way to prepare for the wedding - each side comfortable in their own studio space.

It was a joyful experience as we began to use different pieces of furniture and props to create our vision.

Evening upon us, shooting by the lakeshore, a gentle sunset was beginning to paint the sky. That’s all I can really ask for as the day winds down and the reception takes focus.

Ending the night with sparklers makes for a brilliant send off - I do my best to make sure this happens every wedding.

I wish Tim & Chantal a very happy anniversary today. Thank you for letting me a part of your amazing wedding.

Like kids in a candy store. This idea is great for couples not looking for anything “too romantic”

Shooting this engagement session at the CNE was a lot of fun - I never had a couple request shooting at a carnival before. I gotta say I loved working with all the random ambient lighting, really gave some gentle / playful rim lighting in certain scenarios. I think my favourite, personally, is the last one where everything is black and teal - would make fantastic wall art.

I’ll definitely be recommending this kind of setting to future couples - it doesn’t necessarily have the be the CNE any fair will do!
