Emily and Mike decided on Southampton for the location of their engagement session. This was a-ok with me since Southampton is actually one of my favourite shooting locations in the Grey/Bruce region. It’s a super cute town with great waterfront.

E & M are a cute little couple that have been together for the past 6 years or so. Mike set eyes on Emily in the Sears office that she worked at and he actually asked her out 3 times before she said yes.  Once he overcame that hurdle, he cooked up a fantastic chicken stir-fry for their first date together and here they are a few years later engaged and tying the knot this coming September!

For our e-session together we met last Thursday evening (May 27th) in Southampton and we started off at the Amphitheatre which is a really cool place for photos (and to just visit as well).

Little Emily.

Mike.

Great views!

Wispy clouds are the best!

After we left the Amphitheatre, the next stop was the marina area.

Love this location!

After the marina, we headed to the main beach area.

Great sunset.

Looking forward to being a part of Emily and Mike’s wedding day in September!

Ashley and Jason’s engagement session was my grand finale e-session for 2009. We got together at Blue Mountain in Collingwood the first week in November.  The light in November is absolutely scrumptious, but unless you are a photographer you most likely wouldn’t be able to understand why I would get excited about shooting in November light.  If it wasn’t for the unpredictable weather, I think November would be one of the best months for a wedding (photo wise).

Ashley and Jason first met at Swiss Chalet a few years ago.  Through some mild interrogation, I found out that Jason essentially got the job at Swiss Chalet because Ashley essentially said “let’s hire him!”.  Cute!

Ashley wants at least 4 kids - Jason wants to cap it at 3.  I will be curious in a few years to find out what the verdict was : )

Meet…..Ashley and Jason!

After we finished at Blue Mountain, we headed off to Sunset Point Park which is on the other side of Collingwood. But during the drive there, I saw how awesome this apple orchard looked and thought I would regret it if I didn’t pull over, so I did. And glad I did.

Totally digging these awesome fall colours and low light.

So once we concluded our apple orchard episode, we finished the session at Sunset Point Park - another awesome location.

I look forward to shooting Ashley and Jason’ wedding this summer!

I got together with Brittany and Geoff in Barrie for our engagement session together on October 5. It rained practically all the way there during my drive over, but stopped shortly before our session began. October is such an unpredictable month for weather, but as you will see there were some lovely fall colours in their e-session images.

I have the privilege of photographing B & G’s wedding next summer at Tangle Creek Golf Club in Barrie!

Geoff has a sense of humour.

Loved this one.

I think Brittany looks like 1/2 porcelain doll, 1/2 rockstar.

Geoff just looks 100% rockstar.

Lacey (which rhymes with Stacey) is Brittany and Geoff’s daughter.

Brittany suggested some photos in the basement which I thought was a great idea. So here are the results a la “Blair Witch” style.  I thought these were super cool!
