Codrina and Liviu’s Engagement, The Distillery District, Toronto

It was fun planning this photo session with Codrina and Liviu. They wanted a bit of everything. A bit of the financial district, with perhaps a church, a park and (time permitting) a fountain night shot if at all possible. All with a pinch of Distillery. That sounds like a lot but we knew it’s was also going to be a lot of fun executing it as well.

Toronto is a great city to try and pull all of that. Within the Downtown’s core there are nice green spaces, old churches and new buildings, plenty of opportunity for street shooting and characters like this guy who was playing an instrument made out of a converted cigar box, with 3 strings which reminded me of Seasick Steve and his old arsenal of odd looking guitars. He was incredibly nice and allowed us to shoot a few frames while he was doing a bit of a blues solo. He was quite good actually.

Liviu mentioned he was a bit camera shy and indeed he was … for a few seconds… then he could not stop smiling for the whole duration of the engagement. It was a very pleasant evening of shooting down to the gorgeous warm sundown light.

Here is a snippet, enjoy!
