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!

Jen and Kevin Engagement, Roundhouse, Union Station, Harbourfront, Toronto.

We did have gorgeous weather this long weekend, the kind of weather Jen and Kevin had prayed for. You see, this engagement photo session had been scheduled a while ago and they flown in from Winnipeg, Manitoba specifically for it. Even though we had a Plan B, the chances for a redo in case of cold and heavy rain were nil. Kevin loves trains (models and all) so the  Roundhouse Park  at the Toronto Railway Heritage Center was an absolute must. As Jen put it ” Just don’t throw him on the tracks, we might need him later for the wedding and all…” The staff at  TRHA  was incredibly gracious, offering us actual access to the massive No. 6213 Canadian National steam locomotive. Even “massive” is perhaps a bit of an understatement…simply awesome!

This is a bit of a preview. Enjoy!

P.S. Don’t leave without a comment…

Imelda and Brian Engagement, Union Station, Dundas Square, Toronto

Brian and Imelda, a couple very much in love, first met each-other in Union Station, Downtown Toronto. This place had special meaning for them so we had to start our engagement session there. We worked our way up Yonge Street, thru Brookfield Place, ending up in Dundas Square.

People always give you odd looks when you place a flash in the middle of a fountain 🙂 … Here’s the result :

Joanne's BIG surprise, Secret Garden, Niagara Falls

This was going to be pretty special… We knew it when James emailed us saying he’s secretly planing to propose to Joanne and he needed someone to talk to about planning it and capture it all as it happened. What a deviously delicious idea we thought, covert operations, secret planing… cue the 007 music. Fortunately sneaking around the Niagara Falls’ Secret Garden’s was eased up by Sandra and myself posing as tourist lovebirds with cameras from across the falls :-).

Everything went according to the master plan and Joanne was so overcome with emotion, she did not notice us at all. I mean, she had her suspicions something was up but…

Here is how it happened, starting with the scene of the crime first…

Kitty and Richard Engagement, Downtown Toronto, Union St., Round House

Kitty and Richard are the definition of a shy couple who turns out to be in fact easy going, relaxed and not quite so camera shy in the end. We wondered in Downtown Toronto, around Union St. the CN Tower, the newly renovated Round House and finally the Harbourfront. This is just a bit of a taste of how our evening engagement photography session turned out. Enjoy!

Katie and Jake Engagement, Museum, Yorkville, Bloor St., Toronto

Finally some good, pleasant weather on the weekend. We met Katie and Jake on the train platform at the Museum Subway Station and had a bit of a walk In Downtown Toronto around the Royal Ontario Museum, Bloor St., Cumberland / Yorkville area. It’s not very often you get to shoot in the middle of Bloor St. without being bothered at all… Bloor was closed between University and Bay in preparation for the MuchMusic Video Awards this weekend so we had the street pretty much to ourselves 🙂

Here’s a few highlights of what happened…

K and M Engagement, Distillery District, Toronto

Here we go again, shooting an engagement in the Distillery District. It was pretty windy and cold but that did not deter K and M one bit. We braved the weather and had quite a bit of fun there. Really looking forward to shooting their two day wedding later this summer :-).

Roseanne & Matt Engagement Session, Kariya Park, Mississauga

We started this engagement session in Centennial Park up in Brampton. That’s where Matt has popped the question so as always we started in a place that holds meaning to the couple. Later in the session we worked our way to Karyia Park, Mississauga. We couldn’t afford to miss the flowers, the bell and all that… Toward the end of the day it became quite windy, so windy Roseanne had a bit of trouble facing the wind with her eyes open but everyone soldiered on.
