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

in , , , , , , , ,

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!

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

in , , , , ,

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!

Josephine and Kwabena's Engagement Photoshoot at Guild Park

in

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to another blog post on my website! I am excited to put this one out while we are still sort of in coat and sweater weather here in Toronto hehe.

Last month I got to cover the beautiful Ghanaian Canadian American wedding of Josephine and Kwabena. The wedding took place here in Toronto, and it was such a beautiful event!

I will be blogging that wedding soon but before that, I am sharing some images from their e-shoot! I took their engagement photos back in March at one of my most favourite locations to do e-shoot photos; Guild Park!

Josephine and Kwabena have known each other for a very long time. I believe it is about 15 years as they told me at their e-shoot (basically since they were kids). They had been in a long distance relationship for a while before they tied the knot, as Kwabena is from the States and Josephine is from the G.T.A.

We had so much fun taking these images, even if the entire grounds were super muddy on this day back in March. It was a real task trying to navigate our way through the grounds lol.

It was refreshing to see a laid back casual style that was selected by Josephine and Kwabena for their e-shoot outfits. The cream colors really complemented the architectural backdrops at the Guild so nicely!

Jessica and Mel's E-shoot (The ROM, Trinity College and the Gardiner Museum)

Hello beautiful souls! Welcome to another blog post on my website! Today I am thrilled to share some images from this e-shoot! Jessica is from the G.T.A and Mel is from Atlanta. They met at a work function and are just one of the loveliest couples I have had a chance of working with. We started off our shoot at the Royal Ontario Museum and headed up to Trinity college and then ended at the Gardiner mMuseum. I loved the whole look and feel of this shoot and just hope I get to work with more awesome clients this year and the next!
