"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.
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.

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.
