I always love shooting engagement sessions downtown London. Jacque and Corey had a beautiful (and I mean beautiful) farm wedding last Summer, and I love that they got to do something totally different for their engagement photos. Here are some favourites!
I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Lauren and Riley's engagement session on a beautiful evening last Summer. We headed to the gorgeous Oakwood Resort (one of my favourite venues! <3 ) where they will be getting married later this year to take some photos on their grounds before heading down to the beach right before sunset. I absolutely loved this session and can't wait to head back to Oakwood for their July wedding. Here are some favourites! (Lauren's hair and makeup by Esteem Artistry)
Geoff and Joyce met me downtown on the sunniest Summer evening for their engagement session. These two are adorable and laughed their way through the entire shoot - all smiles even as they were being chased by the most aggressive geese ever. I can't wait for their upcoming wedding. Here are some favourites!
What a beautiful day it was for Mark and Melanie's family engagement session in Port Stanley. I got to meet their sweet girlie Summer and photograph them having fun as a family, as well as some couple shots as they celebrated their engagement. I can't wait to blog their beautiful wedding, but for now here are some favourites from their beach engagement session.
I've been sharing my 2016 favourites on Facebook and Instagram for the last few weeks, and I've loved reminiscing about such a fantastic year of photos. For those who have been following along, you'll notice several images in here that were not featured in my daily favourites posts. But I'm weak and unable to narrow down things I love, so I simply could not exclude some of these images, nor could I keep sharing daily 2016 favourites into the Summer. So here are some of the images that spoke to me the most in 2016 - images that made my heart sing because of the emotion they evoked, or because of the artistic process that went into making them, or because of that golden delicious sunlight I am always chasing, or because I get that feeling when I look at them, that feeling that reminds me that I am so lucky to do what I love, and that makes me want to keep capturing moments and creating art through photographs for as long as I can. <3
I showed up to Springbank Park expecting to shoot yet another Spring blossoms engagement session. Come May, everyone requests this location because of the stunning colours. Don't get me wrong, I adore those beautiful blossoming trees just as much as the next photographer, but after multiple blossom sessions in a row, it can start to feel a bit repetitive. So as I drove to the park this particular evening, I was trying to think of ways to challenge myself creatively so that this session wouldn't just be a repeat of the engagement session I had shot in the same place a few days before. And then I showed up and Andreea was wearing the coolest skull dress, and Ryan was holding a giant black glittery skull. I had to laugh because it just reminded me that no matter what the location is, every couple brings their own flavour to make each shoot their own - and sometimes, that involves a giant skull!
I absolutely loved Michelle and Tylor's Springbank Park engagement session last Spring. Colour, colour and more COLOUR! From magnolia blooms to cherry blossoms to wildflowers to the greenest grass and willow tree leaves. This session is everything that Spring should be, with a sunset by the water to finish it off. Michelle and Tylor are the cutest, most down to earth couple, and I am so excited for their upcoming Spring wedding. It's always a huge honour to photograph a fellow photographer and I couldn't be more thrilled to document Michelle and Tylor's love story!
These two beautiful people were such a joy to work with last year, from their fun Spring engagement session to their gorgeous UWO wedding, which I can't wait to blog in the next few weeks! We met at Elsie Perrin Williams Estate for their engagement shoot, a location I love because you get a woodsy trail, wooden fence, gorgeous estate property and, in the Spring, a beautiful Magnolia tree all in one place. I just loved this session and am thrilled to be sharing my favourites on the blog today. Enjoy!
Last Fall, I met Matt and Kate in the woods for their engagement session. We chatted about their upcoming Elm Hurst wedding (which was lovely, and I can't wait to blog soon!) and took some photos surrounded by the most vibrant, beautiful Fall colours. Here are some favourites!
