đ Sustainable Summer Micro-Wedding In YGK | Styled Shoot at BSE
Years ago⊠two years now⊠during the first summer after the start of the pandemic, a few of us wedding vendors got itchy to create. We had taken a hit in bookings that year, and even though things perked up a bit in the summer, we were LONGING to get immersed in community and creativity.
Moreover, Christina of KnifeySpooney (and the mastermind behind this styled shoot), really wanted to showcase an eco-friendly, sustainable approach to micro-weddings.
"Engagement Session" Photography (but not really) | Making Perogies With Nicole And Ian During Their Couple's Session
When I meet with folks whoâre getting married, and weâre not in a rush (say, the wedding isnât in like 3 weeks), we always get to chatting about doing a little photo-session before the wedding.
You know, documenting the âordinaryâ moments of life.
And the first question that comes up is: âWhat do you all LOVE to do together?â
Everyone has a different answer. All folks in love like to spend time together in different ways.

This is the story of a secret proposal.
When Ashis (pronounced âah-shishâ) contacted me, it was because he wanted to plan the perfect proposal for his partner, Meenu, and needed my help to photograph it.
As a wedding and engagement photographer, the photos would be no problem. But the planning - well, for that, I recruited the help of Heather (of Bowtied Services).
Trinity Bellwoods Engagement With Coffee & Board Games | Margaret and Vincent On A Typical Sunday In Their Lives
Margaret and Vincentâs story is such a sweet one.
We met ages ago, when I was having a free giveaway for an engagement session. I think this was probably back in 2019, and definitely before the pandemic.
I chatted with the couple on Skype (back in the day this is what we used, believe it or not! I cannot imagine a time before zoom in my life, but there you have it)âŠ
Stony Lake Engagement | Maeve & MacKenzie At The Family Cottage With Their Dog
From the moment we started planning Maeve and MacKenzie's engagement photo session, I knew that it would be a really unique one.
The couple wanted to take me to MacKenzie's family cottage near Peterborough, on Stony Lake.
The only way to access this property, they told me, was by boat!
They were so sweet about this: Making sure I was okay with the boat ride, that my camera would be fine, and all.
Surprise Proposal At Lake Ontario Park | Heather of Bowtied With Love and Garrett Elliott Help Nik and Kathlena get engaged!
Today I bring you the story of Nik and Kathlenaâs surprise proposal.
What I actually mean is that it was a surprise to Kathlena, not Nik. It would be funny if it was a surprise proposal for both of themâŠ. How would that even work?
Anyway, for this surprise proposal, Nik was the one planning everything.
He wanted to propose to the love of his life, and he wanted to keep it a complete surprise!
Andi and Tim's Unique Engagement Session | County Cider, Forest Walk, and Tubing for This Couple and Their Kids
When we planned Andi and Tim's engagement session, there was one thing that was on the top of our minds.
We simply wanted make sure their two children could meet me and become comfortable with me before the wedding, so that they wouldn't be stressed out being photographed on their parentsâ actual wedding day.
I think that's incredibly sweet: the way Andi and Tim prioritized the children, and included them in their engagement session that day.
So we did a lot of fun things, like visit their cottage in Prince Edward County. Thereâs a small trail behind the cottage, and just up the hill is a nice forest. We went for a walk up there for about ten minutes. Beautiful candid photographs donât have to take a long time, you know.
Downtown Kingston Engagement | Denise & Kevin Relive Their 1st Date at Princess Street, KBC & City Park
Aw, Denise and Kevin. đ„°
This was such a sweet and meaningful engagement session.
When we were first planning this engagement session with Denise and Kevin, I asked them: what would make this something memorable and meaningful for you?
You know, something where weâre not just going to look for a pretty backdrop and take a bunch of awkward posed photos?
So, we chatted about recreating their first date, in downtown Kingston.

An âEngagement Sessionâ can be anything you want it to be.
Quirky Engagement Ideas: recreate your first kiss, first date, or the place you got engaged! đ Guelph, Ontario engagement with Hudson + Rochelle:
After this, we headed to the gazebo, which was a super important place for both of them. Theyâd shared their first kiss there and later they got engaged there exactly a year ago! It was all too serendipitous. Their engagement story is so sweet and hilarious; but itâs theirs to tell. Iâll just say that Rochelle literally didnât get it was all for her - despite the romantic lighting and engagement vibes - until the VERY endâŠ

đ "Engagement" Session a.k.a. Day In The Life Session At Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area | Sarah and Oliver Go For A Nature Hike
I have no idea! Honestly, I thought I already had⊠but then when I was trying to show these photos as an example of what kinds of things you could do on your âengagementâ session (otherwise known as a day in the life session around these parts), I couldnât find it.
So anyway, Sarah and Oliver already got married, and we were there to celebrate with them, and we even blogged it (yay us!)
So this story takes us even farther back in time, to a very warm and mosquito-y day in June of 2019, just a few months before their wedding took place.
