Rochelle and Jermaine's Engagement Shoot at Parkwood Estate in Oshawa

Hello beautiful people! Welcome to another blog post on my website! Today I feature the engagement shoot of Rochelle and Jermaine at the fabulous Parkwood Estate.

Shooting at Parkwood Estate is always a delight and I love to challenge myself to shoot it in different ways! The couple were gracious in letting me get creative with the imagery and I loved working with them! After a lovely session at Parkwood, we ended the shoot with a casually styled shoot at a nearby park. I loved the couple’s choice of wardrobe for the Parkwood portion! It was so elegant. The colourful bouquet was a neat touch. As well, their casual wardrobe choice for the second half of the shoot was great.

I look forward to shooting their wedding next year!

Luna and Michael's Crystal Garden Engagement Shoot at Preto Loft

Hello Hello Hello!

Welcome to another blog post on my website. I am always so excited when I get a chance to post here.

Engagement photo shoots have a way of capturing the essence of a couple's love and personalities, freezing those beautiful moments in time. Recently, I had the privilege of documenting an engagement photo shoot that was nothing short of being simply gorgeous. This particular shoot took place at the lovely Preto loft when they had their “Crystal Garden” setup. The studio had a luxurious arrangement adorned with lush greenery and elegant chandeliers. For those seeking for this setup for their own shoot, unfortunately Preto Loft has already taken it down (as it was a temporary feature) however Preto Loft has always been an amazing place for me to shoot at. I simply love the quality of light that hits the studio on bright sunny days. I do feel so lucky however that we got to do the shoot here with the “Crystal Garden” backdrop and I do hope they return it in the future because it is just chic!

My clients were a stylish couple and I genuinely enjoyed working with them. This was definitely one of my favourite shoots to have covered this year. I am grateful they chose me to document their engagement shoot and wish them a most beautiful wedding ahead!

Sinit and Alex's Springtime Engagement Shoot at Rosetta McClain Gardens and Guild Park

Hello and welcome back to another blog post of mine! Today am showcasing the engagement shoot of Sinit and Alex!

I get to cover their wedding this summer and I am very much looking forward to it! We did their e-shoot at two of my favourite photoshoot locations in Scarborough; Rosetta McClain Gardens and Guild Park! Honestly one can never go wrong with having an engagement shoot at these gorgeous locations in the east end! Having studied Landscape architecture for my bachelor’s degree I am always in awe of these two well cared for spaces. These unique outdoor attractions are just a delight to visit and its so lovely to see so many visitors (including many photographers and their clients) taking advantage of all that they have to offer. I highly recommend! I always feel the need to speak on and write about the value of these spaces as I find development in the city today is way too focused on churning out overpriced shoe box condos whilst giving little thought to public spaces and greenery. I want to advocate for more well designed public spaces like these in the city because they are definitely needed!

A little bit about this couple: Sinit is of Eritrean Canadian Heritage (My people yay!) and Alex of Ecuadorian Canadian Heritage! They have been together for a long time (I believe since high school) and I can’t wait to see the beautiful coming together of cultures on their wedding day!

This e-shoot has me reminiscing about beautiful spring time! The couple were easy going and super fun to work with. I have to say the shoot flowed like a beautiful spring day! Some of the beautiful features of Rosetta McClain Park include the historical ruins and the lovely stone waterfall. I also love the long walkway that makes for amazing photos. At Guild Park there is the famous grand stage and so many other ornate features around the grounds that make it a must visit when you are in Scarborough!

One thing I love doing for my couples is providing them with a slideshow of their engagement photos to display at their wedding if they wish! I always find it to be something guests love to look at and am just about to send these guys their slideshow! Can’t wait for the summer to come around!

Josephine and Kwabena's Engagement Photoshoot at Guild Park

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!

Until next time! Wishing you beautiful happy days ahead!

Munira and Yassin's Anniversary Shoot at Preto Loft and Edwards Gardens

I am always honoured when couples ask me to take their anniversary images. Munira contacted me to take her wedding anniversary photos with her husband, months in advance of the date. She told me she had been watching my work for a while and just had to have me take her anniversary photos. I was truly honoured that she considered me to take these special images!

These images were taken in August of last year. We started the shoot off at the unique Preto loft studio. Munira wore a gorgeous satin pastel pink dress that had an elegant flow to it and her husband’s outfit complimented hers quite nicely. They honestly gave off such regal vibes! Preto Loft is always a joy to shoot at and makes for an excellent setting. Later on we headed to Edwards gardens for the second half of the shoot which we got to do during golden hour, and the light was absolutely glorious! MashAllah!

Location: Preto Loft by Mintroom Studios

Location 2: Edwards Gardens

Munira’s Makeup: Done by Munira herself
