If you’ve browsed my site, you know that I’m a “natural light” photographer, which means that I make use of natural light as much as possible, especially the amazing kind that comes right after sunrise and right before sunset (though I’m much more inclined to take advantage of sunsets since I’m not really a morning person anytime before 8am). And sometimes being a natural light photographer can mean postponing a photo session a couple of times. Though in our defence, there were two weeks of almost non-stop rain. Finally on the morning of Karen & Marcus’ Document Love session, the sun made an appearance. We caught some of the golden morning light outside of St Lawrence market, then we wandered around since Karen and Marcus love to visit markets and love to cook. We then made our way on the ferry to Ward’s island to catch the last of the Fall leaves before winter sweeps them away.
Though my fingers were practically freezing (with gloves), it was heartwarming to spend time with Karen & Marcus and capture snippets of love for them. I mean, just look at the way Marcus looks at Karen and how he makes her laugh.
P.P.S next up: a few summer weddings (I know!) and quite a few sweet babies.
There was this really old piano in a little house all by its lonesome self near the Ward’s island ferry terminal (which I’ve never, ever noticed in my years of living in Toronto/near Toronto, and so, I asked Karen to show off her piano skills =)
After almost two weeks of nothing but rain, the sun came out for Karen & Marcus’ Document Love session. Here’s just a sneak peek from that morning, more to come soon!
If you know me, you know that I like High Park. And High Park in the Spring when the Cherry Blossoms bloom is probably High Park at its best. So I was very excited to have been able to take photos for Karla and Steve there in April. Although the park was heaving with people that afternoon, we managed to find some quiet spots and make it all our own. I’m really looking forward to their wedding in a month – especially seeing Karla in her gorgeous gown.
We just returned home after a month’s traveling post-wedding, I’m sufficiently dark despite my efforts with sunscreen, and have tons of photos to go through. I’ll be posting some photos soon, and sharing some of our wedding planning experience as well.
Things have been pretty hectic for the past little while! Between wedding planning, moving and running a business, it’s taken up most of my time! In the next little while, I will have a couple of sweet engagements on the blog and some really cute babies too.
