We kicked off Chris and Christy's downtown engagement in their charming backyard at the start of golden hour before heading out to explore the alleys, brick walls and eclectic nooks that make downtown London, ON such a fun spot for engagement photos. Here are a few favourites from their shoot.
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Emily & Mike's Fall Engagement
Emily and Mike first connected through local theatre, and it is on stage that Mike proposed. It was only fitting, then, to return to their beloved theatre in Woodstock for a few engagement photos before heading out to the woods to take advantage of the beautiful colours and golden hour light. These two have such a fun energy, with smiles that light up the room. Here are a few favourites from their Fall engagement session.
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Kiarash & Kasia's Campus Engagement
Last Fall I had the pleasure of meeting Kasia and Kiarash and photographing their beautiful engagement session on the Western University campus. Kasia came prepared with everything needed for a romantic picnic, and we had fun shooting some styled portraits in addition to the more natural captures that make up most of my sessions. Here are some of my favourites!
London Ontario Family Photographer | Christmas Tree Farm Minis
As I prepare to book this year's tree farm minis, I thought it would be the perfect time to reminisce about last year's event. What a wonderful day I had photographing families in their furs and plaids against the beautiful backdrop of Pedde Tree Farm, where my own family cuts a tree down every year. Here are some favourites!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Brian & Regina's Western University Engagement
6 years ago, Brian and Regina, both from Singapore, met at Western University during an exchange. Last Summer, they traveled back from Singapore to where it all began, their beloved UWO campus, to have their engagement photos taken. What an unbelievable honour it was to be chosen to photograph this very meaningful session for them. I wish them nothing but the best on their journey together!
London Ontario Photographer | Port Stanley Beach Minis
I have been excited to blog these for so long! Booking for this year's beach minis goes out to the advance notice list tomorrow morning, so today felt like the perfect day to reminisce about these glorious, sun-soaked beach sessions. I absolutely love photographing families and couples on the beach. There's nothing like the setting sun glistening on the water to create the most magical background, and of course the waves just beg to be played and splashed in, so it's the perfect spot to photograph some fun, candid interactions. Here are some favourites from last year's beach minis!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Elissa & Evan's Port Stanley Beach Engagement
Elissa and Evan's gorgeous sunset engagement session in Port Stanley last Summer was one of my favourites ever. There were storm warnings and it rained on and off all day, but the sky cleared just as we started shooting and golden hour came through in all its glory. We walked around Port Stanley a bit and stopped to take sun-soaked photos in some of my favourite spots before heading to the water for some pretty epic beach engagement photos, if I may say so myself. Elissa and Evan were totally game to get in the water, and we had so much fun shooting in the waves with the most beautiful sunset behind them. These two are simply adorable, and I'm so thrilled to finally be sharing the images from this memorable session on the blog today.
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Beth & Shane's St-Thomas Engagement Session
I met up with Beth and Shane at Pinafore Park in St-Thomas, where we started their engagement session in the woods with their little guy Carter before heading off just the two of them. Our next stop was Hawk Cliff Woods - breathtakingly beautiful and the perfect setting with that golden hour sunlight glistening over Lake Erie. We finished our shoot in a picturesque hay field, where Beth and Shane cozied up in the back of their pickup truck as the sun continued to set. One final spontaneous stop on the side of the road produced one of my favourite shots of their session, with Beth and Shane literally walking into the sunset. An all around beautiful session that I'm so happy to be sharing favourites from today!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Allison & Shawn's Sunset Country Engagement
I photographed Allison and Shawn's beautiful sunset engagement session on a golden Summer evening last year. We met on their country property and took photos with their favourite tree and their beloved dogs before heading out to a nearby field drenched in warm sunset light. Here are some favourites from the session!
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Kim & Steve's Engagement Session
What more can you ask for than a beautiful sunny evening, a gorgeous woodsy backdrop and the coolest, sweetest, funniest couple? I had so much fun with Kim and Steve at their engagement session, and the laughs continued into their wedding day, which I can't wait to blog very soon. Here are some favourites!
