Greenhouse Engagement Photos | Cozyn’s Garden Gallery, Stratford
Looking for unique engagement photos in Stratford? Ditch the typical scenery and embrace the beauty of a local garden center or greenhouse! S & S, a radiant couple with a love story as heartwarming as a springtime bouquet, did just that for their engagement session.
Winter Couple’s Session | Downtown Stratford, Ontario
A short but sweet session on a beautiful winter day! While the photos hide just how cold we were, I do wish we had some BTS footage of us running around trying to stay warm while all the tourists watched on… The Avon River and Downtown Stratford are always a perfect backdrop for a snowy session. Being a local myself, I’ve been known to sneak down side alleys and pathways to quieter locations with the same small town feel. I don’t know that I’ll ever get sick of photographing this gorgeous town! And for those across the border, check out Hailey’s work: Hailey Ann Creative
University of Guelph Arboretum | Queer Engagement Session
Between some intense weather and a long drive ahead of us all, this session almost didn’t happen. It poured rain my entire drive there and back, but the skies cleared up just long enough for an incredibly moody forest shoot at the Guelph Arboretum. The three of us showed up in different variations of the same outfit (Blundstones required) and the rest was history! As I’m uploading this session, I’m currently editing their stunning wedding photos nearly a year later so stay tuned for those!
Fall Couple’s Session | Wildwood Conservation Area St. Mary’s, Ontario
Nothing like the perfect fall day to bring out some Taylor Swift inspired posing - Wildwood Conservation Area never disappoints! These two provided the perfect example of casual and complimentary outfits, straight out of an advertisement. Crisp fall weather is one of the ideal times for photos and allows for layering (my favourite)! Overcast days also make for earlier shoots, but you’ll be home before the sun sets to warm back up.
Fall Couple’s Session | Shakespeare Pond Conservation Area Stratford, Ontario
I love a sunny session as much as the next photographer, but something about stormy weather just adds to a shoot! This may have set a new record for high speed photography as we wanted to beat the incoming thunderstorm - but the running around made it even more fun! That’s why we’re hesitant to reschedule for weather, this unpredictable day gave us the 20 minutes we needed complete with a moody sky. Never a dull moment at Shakespeare Pond!
