Marina + Keith have been planning their wedding day from all the way over in Alberta. They booked their wedding venue without stepping foot in it themselves, and did Zoom and phone meetings/consults with all of their vendors, myself included. I can’t imagine the additional stress the remote planning must have been causing them, but you really couldn’t tell any of that when we finally got to meet in person for their engagement session. They were so calm, chill and down-to-earth, and just a joy to be around.

O M freaking G, guys, this session was seriously amazing! Truth be told, I wasn’t in the greatest mood when I left my house for Erica + Matt’s session. All I really wanted to do was stay home and watch one of my favourite TV shows while I sifted through my most recent edits. Nothing was really wrong, it was just one of those days that I thought I would rather be on my own. But yeah, I was very wrong as not only was this location stunning (and just got better the further we got along the trail), but these two were just the bestest ever to hang out with!

Lime Kiln Trail is almost always on my list of recommending locations whenever someone asks for a fall setting. And for good reason too, it has some great colour-filled trees and as an added bonus, lots of other areas and features to add diversity to a session. That being said, I tend to only want to shoot there once a season, so I also tend to hold onto to it for just the right couple, and I knew Jessica + Adam were perfect for the spot, and it for them!

I had the hardest time coming up with something to say for their sneak peek and I am once again struggling now that it is time for their blog post. But the struggle isn’t because there isn’t anything to say about Teresa + Travis’ engagement session, or that it wasn’t a good time. In fact, the struggle is because I just have so much to say that my little brain is overwhelmed with it all because this was a seriously amazing session with two of the most fun people ever!!

Annie + Chris had just about the perfect downtown Ottawa engagement session complete with scenic views of parliament, Chateau Laurier and the By-Ward Market. But really, no session downtown would be complete without a sweet ending, and for these two that meant hitting up one of the amazingly tasty gelato shops!
