Feven and Antoine's Engagement Photos at Guild Park and Bluffers Park in Scarborough

Hello Hello Hello!

Welcome to another blog post on my website! Today I’m so excited to share the engagement photos from Feven and Antoine’s e-shoot!

We photographed this lovely couple at the very start of summer, and I absolutely loved their simply sophisticated style as well as the clear vision they brought to the shoot. With their wedding just around the corner this weekend, I can’t wait to capture the festivities alongside my team!

Feven and Antoine’s love story is also a beautiful reflection of culture—Feven is of Eritrean heritage and Antoine is of Jamaican heritage. I already know their wedding celebration will be full of vibrant traditions, music, and joy.

For their engagement photos, we visited two of my favorite locations in Scarborough: Guild Park and Bluffers Park. Both are places I return to again and again for e-shoots, and here’s why:

• Guild Park & Gardens – This spot is a photographer’s dream. The park is filled with historic architectural pieces, lush gardens, and tree-lined paths that create such a timeless and romantic backdrop. It has a way of making every couple look like they stepped right into a storybook.

• Bluffers Park – Just a short drive away, Bluffers Park offers an entirely different but equally stunning atmosphere. With sweeping lake views, sandy shores, and the dramatic Scarborough Bluffs rising in the background, it brings a sense of openness and natural beauty that balances so well with more formal settings. It’s the perfect mix of serene and dramatic.

Together, these two locations gave us a variety of textures and moods, from elegant to relaxed, which really captured the essence of Feven and Antoine as a couple.

I’m so looking forward to their wedding day—it’s sure to be a vibrant and heartfelt celebration of love and culture!

Samantha & Raje | Romantic Toronto Engagement Session at Alexander Muir Gardens

Samantha and Raje are tying the knot this weekend, and I could not be more excited for them! This beautiful couple was such a joy to photograph during their engagement session at Alexander Muir Gardens in Toronto.

Nestled in the heart of midtown Toronto, Alexander Muir Gardens is a hidden gem for engagement photos. With its lush greenery, stone pathways, and romantic archways, it creates a timeless and elegant backdrop that feels like stepping into a fairytale. It’s one of my favorite spots for couples who want a mix of natural beauty and architectural charm in their engagement pictures.

When Samantha arrived in her stunning red dress, I was in absolute awe—the bold color popped beautifully against the garden’s greenery and added such vibrance to the photos. Her chic pixie haircut gave her look a modern, stylish edge. Raje’s crisp white shirt and beige pants created the perfect balance to Samantha’s bold red dress, and together they radiated sophistication and charm.

Their love story is just as beautiful as their session. Having met back in high school in Jamaica, Samantha and Raje’s relationship has blossomed into a true lifelong romance. Photographing them felt natural and effortless—the way they laughed together and embraced each pose I suggested made my job so easy. Their connection shines through in every image.

I can’t wait to capture their wedding day and continue telling their love story through my lens. Engagement sessions like this remind me why I love being a Toronto wedding and engagement photographer—each couple brings their own energy, style, and story to the shoot, making every session unique and unforgettable.

Tiffiny and Haben's Engagement Shoot at The Riverwood Conservancy in Mississauga

Hello hello! Welcome to another blog post on my website! Today, I’m so excited to feature the beautiful couple that is Tiffiny and Haben!

From the moment they arrived at the Riverwood Conservancy for their engagement shoot, I knew we were in for something truly special. Their effortless style, natural chemistry, and warm energy made them such a joy to photograph — and their outfit choices couldn’t have been more perfect for the serene and romantic setting. Something about this shoot even gave me London, England vibes — maybe it was the architecture, the landscape scenery, the energy, or just how timeless they looked together!

I absolutely loved this couple’s style — so uniquely them. The soft, neutral palette they chose not only reflected their personalities but also beautifully complemented the natural tones of the photoshoot location.

Tiffiny’s look was the embodiment of soft elegance. She wore a flowing, sun-kissed yellow midi dress with delicate pinstripes that moved beautifully with the breeze. Draped casually over her shoulders was a light blue sweater — a subtle, preppy touch that added depth and charm to her already graceful ensemble. Paired with pearl accessories, a natural curly updo, and minimalist white heels, her look was fresh, romantic, and effortlessly chic.

Haben complemented her style perfectly with a smart-casual vibe that felt laid-back yet polished. His navy blazer over a mustard-toned shirt struck just the right balance between formal and relaxed, while his charcoal slim-fit pants and casual sneakers gave the outfit a grounded, modern feel. The way he looked at Tiffiny throughout the shoot truly made the images come alive.

Together, their style felt authentic — a beautiful reflection of who they are as a couple: timeless, thoughtful, and full of joy. It’s always a gift to photograph couples who bring not only love but also personality and presence to the session, and Tiffiny and Haben did just that.

This shoot is a great example of how thoughtful wardrobe choices can really elevate your photos. When colors harmonize with your location — whether soft pastels, earthy neutrals, or rich seasonal tones — it brings a natural cohesion and glow to every image.

The couple’s wedding day is just around the corner, and my team and I couldn’t be more excited to work with them again. It is going to be one beautiful multicultural (Eritrean, Ukranian, Kenyan, Canadian) wedding. Stay tuned for more to come from this wonderful couple!

Alex and Connor's Engagement Shoot at Osgoode Hall and TD Towers (Downtown Toronto)

Hello, hello, hello! On this cold December day, I’m throwing it back to this lovely October shoot! We chose one of my favorite locations in the city, Osgoode Hall, for the session. It’s one of the few historic buildings in a city full of glass skyscrapers. After Osgoode Hall, we took a short walk to the iconic TD Towers, where we captured even more stunning images. This couple was such a delight to work with, and I’m wishing them the most beautiful wedding to come!

Selena and Zack's Engagement Shoot at Riverwood Conservancy

Hello Hello Hello!

Welcome to my latest blog post! It is May and am just happy to be enjoying one of my favourite months and the amazing spring season! I know I say this all the time but where is the time flying to? Whew we really are almost halfway through the year!

Today I get to share the engagement shoot of one of my summer clients!

Selina and Zack are such a lovely couple. Selina is of Eritrean heritage (like me) and Zack is of Caribbean heritage so am excited to be covering another multicultural wedding with Habesha elements! Eeeehhh can you feel my excitement hehe.

We took these engagement shoot images at the beautiful Riverwood Conservancy and I love how naturally beautiful everything looks!

When it comes to engagement shoots, finding a location that perfectly captures the essence of love, nature, and timeless beauty can be a challenge. However, Riverwood Conservancy in Mississauga offers the ideal blend of lush landscapes, charming architecture, and serene vibes, making it a perfect spot for capturing those precious moments. Hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Tips for a Perfect Engagement Shoot at Riverwood Conservancy

1. Timing is Key: Opt for the golden hours of early morning or late afternoon when the natural light is soft and flattering.

2. Seasonal Beauty: Each season offers its unique charm, so choose the one that best reflects your love story. Spring and summer are lush and vibrant, autumn is rich and colorful, while winter brings a pristine, quiet beauty.

3. Wardrobe Choices: Complement the natural surroundings with lovely tones and soft fabrics. Flowing dresses and comfortable, casual attire often work best to enhance the natural feel of the setting.

4. Explore and Experiment: Don’t stick to just one spot. Wander through the grounds, go shoot by the barns, and explore the gardens and architectural features to capture a variety of beautiful backdrops.

5. Stay Natural: The essence of Riverwood Conservancy is its natural beauty, so let your poses and expressions be as genuine as possible. Interact with each other, share stories, laugh, and let the photographer capture those candid moments.
