			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I realize that I have been a little slow when it comes to posting blog content lately, so I am promising to push up a whole bunch of posts over the next week or so! Keep checking <img src='http://www.jonthorpe.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt="icon wink Martha & Guy   Urban Engagement Photography" class='wp-smiley' title="Martha & Guy   Urban Engagement Photography wedding photo" /> </p>
<p>So why have I not been posting as much recently? Well, the wedding season is now well under way, with a number of shoots now behind me and around 50 or so still to go (combined wedding and engagement shoots &#8211; a fully booked season), so needless to say, things are a little hectic, but I am keeping to my promise of a three week turn-around for weddings and less than 1 week for engagement shoots. Not too shabby!</p>
<p>There are a whole bunch of other developments happening here at Union Photography, some that I can hint at and some that are top secret. One big thing is that the <a title="torontos best photo booth" href="http://www.getthebooth.com" target="_blank">photo booth</a> side of things is rocking out and was just accepted into Style Me Pretty&#8217;s Invite-Only, <a title="Style Me Pretty" href="http://booth.stylemepretty.com/vendor-profile/" target="_blank">Little Black Book</a>. Thanks SMP!</p>
<p>Back to photography, with this sweet little engagement shoot that I had with Martha and Guy, who just so happen to live in the condo right above my Downtown Toronto studio! It&#8217;s always great to have fantastic neighbors!</p>
<p>We started things off right at home, with a natural light shoot in the roof top penthouse. The soft evening lighting was just fantastic and I could have stayed there all evening. For the rest of the night we chased light and looked for interesting opportunities within the downtown core. I just love how the night transforms the city and lends in producing unique imagery.</p>
<p>I had a fun time! See you at the wedding (or just around the building)!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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 &amp; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for spending an evening with me, Melanie &amp; David. It was a pleasure working with the both of you!<br />
I have to say that I am in LOVE with the last shot of you in your Toronto FC jerseys!</p>
