I spent Sunday morning in Yorkville with Doug & Diane. I had not been there in years and forgot how quaint it is! We had a great time walking around, getting windblown - and getting to know each other better. These two are not only gorgeous- but their connection is awesome! Can't wait for their summer wedding!

For the second engagement shoot of the day - we completely changed things up and went downtown for some urban photos. I smiled when I saw Andrea's hot pink dress - the contrast of it against the bricks and decay of downtown would be great! I had not met these two before but was surprised how many mutual friends we had in common! I know Blair's sister - and man! he is the spitting image of his little 5 year old nephew, Asher!

Without further ado...

Let me introduce Blair & Andrea!



















On the way to meet them I had to drive under the railway overpass... I was itching to come back there to shoot and was glad they were game!

Saturday I had two engagement shoots and it was extra fun for me since I hadn't had the chance to meet either couple yet! We had talked on the phone or email - but never face to face. It was also a fun day because in the morning we did a shoot in nature and in the afternoon was downtown urban grunge. Such contrast!

So - Saturday started off bright and early with Kirk and Lyndsay. I like to go as early as possible to get the best light - and they were game. Yay! Got to love people willing to do whatever it takes for good photos... like stepping in freezing cold water! Brrr.....

The first photos of the day and I was giddy.... cute couple, gorgeous light...



Then we found a field of "wishflowers" as my girls call them. I love Lyndsay's cute reaction in this first one. So sweet.





Found this gate that had great lines!





Had to do a nice headshot of these two!



And these last few water photos make me happy. See what you think...

Last weekend I was suppose to photograph Mike & Christa but it poured and stormed all day. So we rescheduled for the holiday Monday - and I'm so glad we did! A morning on a long weekend is nice and quiet! It was perfect for avoiding crowds and just to be able to enjoy the city of Toronto!

We went back to where Mike & Christa had their first date - at Madison Pub and then Massey Hall. We were pleasantly surprised to be let into the pub and be given free reign - sweet!

We started at the pub and these two were nervous! Mike wasn't so sure about this whole photography thing - but they were soon laughing and we had a blast!















This cracked me up! Mike wasn't sure what to do, so I told him just to talk to Christa. His dialogue went something like this "So, how have you been keeping? It's lovely to see you today. Thanks so much for coming out..." he had me cracking up!





Then - they showed me this "LOVE" graffiti right beside where they had parked - good find! Christa has her ways of making Mike laugh (and blush)!



And on to Massey Hall!





Mike would do these "Crazy Eyes" and make Christa laugh... had to show at least one crazy eyes picture!









And checking out the alleyway behind Massey...









Now, I usually throw out something ridiculous to see how people will respond. So, I said "Why don't you just go stand in the fountain and we'll finish with that." And they started to go into the fountain! I love people who are game for anything! I didn't make them stand in the fountain for real - but still got some fun shots!





Can't wait for their wedding in July!!!

Celebrating life and love,
