Elizabeth & Tom's Leslie Spit Engagement Photos (Tommy Thompson Park)
 

When Elizabeth and Tom suggested Leslie Spit for engagement photos, I was thrilled. Have you been there? If not, go immediately! FYI this is also known as Tommy Thompson Park, and there’s a light house, and you may or may not be able to make a camp fire (*ahem, not endorsing illegal activities, just saying). Any time of year, this reclaimed land on Toronto’s east-side waterfront is home serene, natural beauty – including a bird sanctuary, wild flowers, and biking, walking, and jogging for miles. We went at sunset (obviously!) and couldn’t have asked for a more magical setting.

…But actually we could have asked for more, and we did! You see, Tom and Elizabeth are a very special pair.

These are two of the most interesting and talented humans you’ll meet.

I first met Elizabeth when she had recently finished blogging 52 weeks of DIY projects. Yes, I said fifty-two. And this is also how I met the inimitable Shannon Lee Simmons (who later became my accountant). Some people’s awesomeness is hard to do justice in words, so just scroll down to the juggling photos, to get an understanding of why these two hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you, Tom & Elizabeth for putting your trust in me to do your engagement and wedding photos. It has been an unending pleasure!

Mika & Paul's McMaster University Engagement Session
 

For Mika & Paul's engagement photos, we returned to McMaster University, where they spent their undergrad together. Not only was this a walk down memory lane, but it was just a romantic, beautiful, quiet day for them to connect and celebrate their love, just the two of them... (and me)

Elise & Sean's Leslieville Engagement Photos
 

It is SO much fun when the sibling of a past couple contacts me to shoot their wedding, which is why I was thrilled to hear from Sean & Elise! I first met Sean photographing his sister's gorgeous Berkeley Church wedding, and couldn't be happier to spend more time with this awesome family. Then, to top it off, I was completely charmed by the hilarious Elise, who rightly suggested wine at most of our meetings (or was it I who suggested the wine? – ah well). 

Anyhoo, the three of us walked around Elise & Sean's neighbourhood, checking out the alleyways and industrial lofts of Leslieville, where many photo and film shoots take place. The sun was setting, and I grabbed shots of them laughing and amusing one another as we wandered.
