Kasey was thinking of having her engagement session at High Park, with the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, if you haven’t heard the news yet, cherry blossoms trees will not bloom this year! I had other couples aiming for High Park as well, however we will be going to different locations – what I say is it honestly doesn’t really matter the location as long as the couple has chemistry!

I was suggesting Kasey to maybe go to popular locations like Brickworks and to my surprise, she asked about Guildwood Park. I love that park, but for some reason not a lot people will ask for it. The art and architecture over there is gorgeous. What a great choice! I’m absolutely in love with these. Really can’t wait for their wedding this August!

I worked with this super cute couple this past January at the Evergreen Brick Works. I absolutely adored working with these two and I honestly can’t wait to shoot their wedding this Spring!

Thanks for braving the weather, Jenny & Francisco. It was totally worth it. :)

I honestly can’t post weddings at the moment because it takes me forever to go through photos, re-size them and organize them here, so I chose this gorgeous engagement session I did this past October.

These two are getting married next Fall and I just can’t wait to shoot their wedding day. Besides the fact they are very good looking and super cute together, they also have so much chemistry in front of the camera I could stay forever taking pictures of them.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, everyone! See you all in 2016. :)

This was Leigh’s and Simon’s engagament session. We had to reschedule this shoot a couple of times but it was definitely worth it. Look at the glorious light we got on that day! Perfect, perfect lighting. I had a great time working with them and I just can’t wait for their wedding next month.

Let me share some of favorites with you. :)

Paul is also responsible for me finally ordering USB Flash Drives for wedding clients. LOL I’ve been studying getting those during the past year and I’d always forget about it. But during our meeting, Paul made fun of me still giving DVDs to people and I thought that maybe it was time to upgrade my media. Hopefully by next year all photo shoots will be getting USB Flash Drives instead of DVDs – honestly I think my DVDs are super cute, but I know that their end is near.

I really really shouldn’t be using my time to blog since I have so many photos shoots lined up to be edited, but I needed to post this (I promise my next blog post will be a family photo shoot, I promise!!!). Let me share some of my favorites with you! :)

I’m pretty sure these two don’t even know how photogenic they are and how great their chemistry is in front of the camera. Besides that, they are really fun to be around. Can’t wait for their wedding next month!

I’ll be honest: before this shoot, I hated High Park. I hate how crowded and huge that park is. Always thought it was an overrated park and whenever I could, I convinced families/couples to go to Edward Gardens or somewhere smaller. I was just excited with Melanie+Jeff’s suggestion because initially we were thinking about having the shoot during the blooming of the cherry trees (which we missed it, unfortunately). Anyways… going there on a weekday is a completely different story. It is indeed a beautiful park to go to.

Let me share some of my favorite photos with you! :)

This was my second time shooting an Engagement Session over there this year, which is kind of surprising because even though I go there plenty of times for Family shoots, I’ve never had couples asking for that park in particular. Maybe urban E-Shoots are finally old news?

Had an amazing time with Fiona and Bendy – these two are really sweet! Congrats guys, really looking forward for your big day this September. :)

p.s.: You can view the other Edward Gardens’ shoot clicking here. Love the fact that these were shot a couple of weeks apart and one couple got a cloudy day (which they actually liked because Fiona prefers the cold weather) and the other got a sunny day (which was Hanaa’s preference as well!).

I must say I’m still a fan of pictures by the lake, can’t get tired of it. Whenever I can, I try to persuade couples into splitting their shoot between wherever they want and somewhere else w/ sand, water and, if we’re lucky, a nice sunset. And I’ll tell you they never regret it.

5 minutes away from Cherry Beach is the Distillery District. Even though they were holding a festival on that day and the place was completely packed with tents and people, we managed to get some great shots over there as well.

Let me share my favorites with you! :)

The amazing light and super cute couple were a great finish to a very busy Sunday! Hanaa and Asher were really good at posing and being comfortable around each other. Our shoot was such a breeze that Hanaa was able to change THREE times. :)

Congrats on your engagement, Hanaa and Asher. Can’t wait for your wedding this summer!

Anyways, back to Erin and Mark, if I could describe this couple in one word, that would be “real”. And I just love that! This is what I want to shoot – real couples, real people. I love how genuine these images feel. I already know I’ll have a blast at their wedding next year at the Distillery District – yes, I just said I’m tired of engagement shoots there, but I do love their wedding venues!
