Luke + Emma Engagement Party - The Courthouse Hotel
Highlights from Luke + Emma’s engagement party at The Courthouse Hotel.
Jake + Abi Engagement - Mission Island Marsh
It’s always fun doing a true engagement session. Knowing Jake was going to propose to Abi near the end of the session was exciting for me, and she of course said yes!
Cassandra + Dustin Engagement - Cascades
I’m very much looking forward to Cassandra and Dustin’s wedding next fall. Luckily they decided to do an engagement session today, at the always beautiful Cascades. The weather held up and it ended up being the perfect session.
Kihannah + Alisha Engagement – Tree Farm
One of my favourite types of photo sessions, definitely has to be engagements. There is just a certain feeling of excitement in the air each time, similar to weddings. Kihannah and Alisha chose to do theirs at the Tree Farm. Unlike a family session I had a couple months earlier, this time around the mosquitos were nowhere to be found.
Kaylin + Adam Engagement - Trowbridge Falls
Kaylin and Adam are getting married next year but I was lucky enough to get them out for an engagement session this past weekend at Trowbridge Falls. I absolutely love meeting couples, and especially photographing them, before their actual wedding.
Precious + Anthony Engagement - Centennial Park
Precious and Anthony’s wedding is at the end of the month, which I am so excited for. The booked me relatively last minute, so I was really happy when they also had the time to do an engagement session. The location they chose was Centennial Park, which ended up being perfect, even though the mosquitos were out.
Caitlynn + Eric Engagement - Trow Bridge Falls
Caitlynn and Eric have their wedding set for next year, but they decided to do an engagement session at Trow Bridge Falls. I don’t always get to meet wedding couples before their wedding, so I was super excited to not only meet Caitlynn + Eric, but also spend some time getting to know them and capture some photos in the process.
Skyler + Nikki Engagement Session - Trow Bridge Falls
One of my favourite type of photo session, is an engagement. They are always so much fun. With that being said, I had no idea what to expect for Skyler and Nikki’s session at Trow Bridge Falls. As it turns out, they had a lot in store. From the Halloween themed props, to their amazing outfits, and especially the smoke bombs. It made for one of the most memorable sessions I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. I really can’t wait until the wedding!
Alanah + Brenden + Gus Engagement Session - Centennial Park
I really do love engagement sessions. Not only are they fun, but they give me a good opportunity to actually meet the couple, and develop a relationship with them, before the wedding! This is actually a pretty rare occurrence these days.
Sara + Eric Engagement Session - Centennial Park
Sara and Eric came to visit family for the holidays and, while they were here, asked me to shoot their engagement photos. I always love when wedding couples of mine decide to to do engagement sessions. It helps break the ice a bit and get everyone comfortable with one another. Plus, I very much enjoy getting out in the winter and photographing beautiful couples.
Devin + Mitchell Engagement - Tree Farm
The snow has not yet come, but I know it’s only a matter of time. I’m happy for that because it allowed me to have a relatively warm engagement session at the Tree Farm with Devin and Mitchell. Of course they brought their two dogs Ruger and Callie. I have done many sessions at the Tree Farm and I just love it when couples and families bring their dogs with them. It just adds a totally different dynamic to the session.
Makaila + Sean Engagement - Thunder Bay Tree Farm
I have been photographing Makaila and her family for the past 4 years, so when she asked me to capture her engagement session I simply couldn’t wait to do so. I’m so thankful to be a part of the next step in their life. Plus, I know it’s always a fun time. I was excited to see Lucas come along as well as their dog Bear, who is so handsome and friendly. So, even though it was an engagement session, it was kind of a family shoot as well which was nice.
Josie + Dan Engagement - Tree Farm
Next month I have the pleasure of photographing Josie and Dan's Wedding but in the meantime, we got out and did their engagement session at the Tree Farm. I've said it many posts before this, but it is by far one of the prettiest locations in town. When you combine that with an amazing couple, you are pretty much guaranteed beautiful photos. That is exactly what we came away with. It also helped that they brought along their dog 'Buddy'. I just love photographing animals, especially dogs.
Jessica + Liam Engagement - Mission Marsh
Jessica and Liam's wedding isn't until next year but that doesn't mean we couldn't do an engagement session this summer, which is exactly what we did! The day before our shoot, Jessica decided they wanted to use Mission Marsh as the location instead of Centennial Park, and I couldn't have been happier. There is nothing wrong with Centennial Park but I have already had a few sessions this year over the past few weeks, so a new location was more then welcome.
Taylor + Grant Engagement - Tree Farm
What can I say about Taylor and Grant? They were such an awesome couple to photography. It was the perfect example of a beautiful couple in a beautiful location, which ended up being the Tree Farm. Even though the original plan was to wait for a fresh snowfall, we decided to do the session on one of the warmest December weekends I can remember. It was worth it though, because the resulting photos turned out great.
Cydney + Tyler Engagement - Trow Bridge Falls
My latest engagement session was kind of a unique one because Cydney and Tyler were visiting Thunder Bay for a couple days from Minnesota. They decided to hire me to take their engagement photos while on vacation, in a city they had never been before. How cool is that!? Suffice it to say, I jumped at the opportunity.
Jamilee + Michael Engagement - Kam River Park
Over the weekend I got the chance to photograph another fun engaged couple in Jamilee and Michael. We decided on Kam River Park as the location. The weather ended up being perfect once again, so it turned out to be the perfect session. I had actually photographed both Jamilee and Michael, as well as their family in the past. This time around it was just about them though!
Megan + Nick Engagement - Kam River Park
I'm currently running a small Facebook promotion for engaged couples looking to explore some different locations in town. The response I got so far was amazing, and one of the first couples to book a session was Megan and Nick. It was my first time meeting them that day, but it didn't take long for me to see just how great of a couple they were.
Ashley + Isaac Engagement - Trow Bridge Falls
It was my first engagement session of the year this past Saturday and it was so much fun. Ashley and Isaac decided they wanted to do use Trow Bridge Falls as the location, and that is exactly what we did. I suggested 5:30 for timing, that way the light was a bit better and it wouldn't be too cold. Well, the light was good, but it was still pretty darn cold. Ashley and Isaac didn't complain once and they even managed to do a couple quick photos at the end without any jackets on.
Danielle + Steven Engagement - Centennial Park
I will be photographing Danielle and Steven's wedding next year but we decided before it got to cold out, we had better get their engagement photos done. We did so this past weekend and the weather turned out to be pretty cool. The location was Centennial Park and upon arrival, Danielle looked at me and seemed just a bit hesitant, not completely sure if we should still do the photos. Mainly because it was starting to snow pretty heavy. Well, I assured her that the photos would turn out fine and the snow would only add to the character, which it definitely did, as you can see from the photos below.
