Bettina and Luke Engagement, Edward Gardens, Toronto

When Luke contacted us, him and Bettina were interested in and intrigued by our trial offer. It was not easy finding a proper weekend for an outdoor engagement shoot, the weather here in Toronto was pretty wet, essentially dashing our hopes to have this done on Toronto Island. Finally some luck and some (very) hot weather enabled us to meet at the Edward Gardens and have a bit of fun.

Bettina and Luke’s love story begun some ten years ago on a rainy, chilly Valentine’s day when Luke showed up at Bettina’s doorstep with three roses in hand and a big smile on his face. Their story continued thru high school and U of T and thru the hardships of long distances across continents. One day while working in Nepal, Luke whisked Bettina above the clouds to 4600 m and proposed to her with the Himalayas in the background as their witness. We are a bit gobsmacked by this and we’d only wished to be present there to capture the moment when she said yes. They are an awesome couple, we can hardly wait to shoot their upcoming wedding this fall.

Here’s a small sample of our fun engagement shoot. Enjoy!

Tanya and Kivar's Engagement, Edward Gardens, Toronto

Remember when we posted Nela and Mark’s engagement  we mentioned the “double” feature session in Edward Gardens that day. This is the second one, this time with Tanya and Kivar. As a couple, their history goes back right to early high school years and you’ll notice toward the end of the post the shots with them going thru some of the little things they got each other along the way. They wanted those years somehow represented in the session so that particular section was done on their old high school grounds. Everything changed there since, however their love carried on.

It was an absolute pleasure shooting with them. They are the kind of couple that feels natural and uninhibited in front of our large lenses, bringing energy, ideas and at times quiet moments of great tenderness.

This is how it went. Enjoy!

Nela and Mark's Engagement, Edward Gardens, Toronto

With the warm weather finally here it was a busy day in Edward Gardens, lots of people enjoying the sun, lots of photographers out after the beautiful blooming flowers, preparations for an outdoor wedding… the whole nine yards. We added to the commotion with two engagement photo shoots. The following is the first of the day, with Nela and Mark. He is a bit camera shy but it did not take long to warm up and enjoy the session. Nela on the other hand was full of energy and loving the camera right from the get go. Great couple, we can barely wait to shoot their wedding in less than two weeks.

Enjoy!

Eva and Mark Engagement, Edward Gardens, Toronto.

Eva and Mark have been together longer than some people have been married, 12 years. While looking for a photographer for their next year wedding, Eva stumbled on our blog and was intrigued by our trial offer, Several emails later we were all set up to go for an engagement photo session in Edward Gardens while also praying for decent weather as this summer so far is one of the coldest and wettest in my recent memory. Our prayers were answered and we were fortunate to have a superb day.

The following are a just a few pictures highlights from the session.

Enjoy!

Sheryl and Darryl Engagement, Edward Gardens, Toronto

It’s been threatening to rain all day but miraculously, it did not. We just had just about the perfect weather for an outdoor engagement shoot in Edward Gardens so everyone was out today, families, kids, cops patrolling, stock togs with macro lens and tripods (taking advantage of the full bloom flower beds), busy bumble bees, beavers, racoons and of course us with Sheryl and Darryl. For all the commotion in the park, shooting the last photo in this post proved a bit of a challenge as everyone courteously made room for us and refused to pass thru our field of view… Later however, a raccoon had no problem crashing the party as he made his way across the park seemingly without a single worry.

This is a little snippet of the engagement session. Enjoy!
