Marina and Omar Engagement, Kariya Park, Mississauga, ON

I just love meeting people like Marina and Omar. Full of energy, ready to laugh but also shy at times, especially Omar who sometimes won’t look in the lens even prompted. He might be a touch shy so Marina is more than happy to intervene with a witty thing to say (or a poke) to keep the things both on track and on the light side of things. As you’ll see, stories like these always happen with a guy holding a ring, one knee down and this one is no exception alas this was no surprise. The ring was though! Great job Omar!

As we went on with our engagement photo shoot, we got to try a few things, loosen up and laugh quite a bit. We even set up a little “film-noir thing” on the Mississauga’s City Center grand staircase.

Here’s a snippet of the session. Enjoy!

Brada and Ryan's Engagement, Kariya Park, Mississauga ON

When Brada contacted us thru Facebook inquiring about our availability we were both happy and pleasantly surprised. We photographed Ryan’s sister’s, Amanda, wedding last year so we are really looking forward being part of the family’s celebrations again this year. This was perhaps the most rescheduled engagement session I’ve ever shot due to a variety of unexpected scheduling conflicts and truly uncooperative weather… At some point it almost appeared we would be forced to scrap all plans but a small window of opportunity miraculously appeared and jumped on it. What’s funny is that after all the delays and rescheduling, we were so in sync this day we even got stuck together on HWY 410 rush hour traffic on our route to our meeting point.

So, here we are in Kariya Park on a beautiful mid week day… fish are jumping… ducks and rabbits… the perfect setting…
