I don't know how many times we've said this but we get to be a part of some really amazing people's lives, and for that we are so grateful. Jon has known Ben's family for years and so we were thrilled to hear that Hayley and Ben would like us to capture their day for them. Even looking at these photos you can see how lovely these two were.
Our favourite part? When Ben & Hayley were only friends, Ben had made a comment about how his future wife should just know to put in a secret ring engraving... Flash forward a few years and she did just that! Check out the photos below where he gets a chance to read his ring for the first time.
Engagement Session around the Distillery District
We love doing engagement photos. A part of what we love about them is that they allow us to capture people's day to day life so that they are able to look back on them and hopefully relive some memories. For Rosalind & Jeff, they are fortunate enough to live in such a beautiful neighbourhood of Toronto, right beside the historic Distillery District.
Enchanting Roadtrip through Portugal
We are finally getting around to sharing some photos from this trip. We actually visited Portugal back in the summer of 2015 on an amazing two-week road trip. Most people unfortunately only ever see Lisbon (or Porto), the Algarve and maybe the famous Duoro Valley, since a Portugal trip is often partnered up with some time spent in Spain. But for our trip, we decided to give Portugal a full two weeks and we did not regret it. The eastern edge is so very different than the rest and same with the North! With amazing (and typically cheaply priced) foods, medieval towns, wild horses, vinho verde & port, there is so much that this country has to try, offer and see! We seriously recommend it to anyone and definitely let us know if you have any questions because we are happy to share our experiences. Speaking of sharing, here are some of our photos during the trip. Aside from the Arroh & Bow dress series (search the blog for those), typically we like to treat our vacations like, vacations! So here are just some snaps from the two weeks.
