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.

Today is their one year anniversary and this was just a most stunning wedding! I can’t believe I did not blog it yet! This day was full of happy vibes and emotional moments everywhere!
