Johan & Lisa ~ A Night in Toronto

Thursday, March 3, 2011 Posted in Engagement, Photography

I love night shoots!

If you ask almost any photographer what the best time to shoot is, they will likely speak of the “Golden Hour” and the soft warm light associated with the magical, near twilight, time of day. But if you ask me, the best time to shoot is when the sun goes down and the city lights take over with an orchestra of color. Greens, blues, yellows… It’s a great time to play with the ambient light temperatures and create dynamic imagery.

For this winter shoot, Johan, Lisa and myself explored the city, looking for great light – while trying to stay warm!

Melanie & David – Toronto Engagement Photography

Friday, May 21, 2010 Posted in Engagement, Photography

I really love engagement shoots for the way that they allow me to connect with couples, make them feel comfortable and help them break down any walls that they may have when it comes to being in front of a camera. I had a fantastic time hanging out with Melanie & David for an evening and came out of the shoot with some fantastic and playful imagery that they will be able to cherish for a lifetime.

One thing that you will notice from these photos, is that my sessions are fairly long and can bridge a number of different environments and times of day. It allows me to provide my couples with a diverse range or imagery that is exciting, intimate and unique.

Thank you so much for spending an evening with me, Melanie & David. It was a pleasure working with the both of you!
I have to say that I am in LOVE with the last shot of you in your Toronto FC jerseys!
