We have so many pictures of this gorgeous couple just laughing and goofing off. Still, in between, we were able to capture some pretty romantic ones as well. Have to be honest, we’re super psyched to be photographing their wedding. We love these guys, and we can't wait for them to tie the knot in Spain this fall!!

Winter Engagement: Sophia & Brendan

Winter Engagement: Sophia & Brendan

Last year, before all this craziness happened, we had a blast photographing Sophia and Brendan’s engagement photos. I remember this day being unusually warm, but we were blessed with fresh snow and some flurries, which totally made for some romantic scenes. Sophia and Brendan were awesome to photograph! They were game to pretty much anything, including running ankle-deep in the snow and dancing in public. We did end up going to the pub after this shoot for some indoor shots (we’ll show those scenes in a separate blog). Check out how adorable these two are together!

Carla and Chris' Engagement at Princess Louise Falls, Ottawa

What was awesome about Carla and Chris' engagement is that not only did we have such a stunning backdrop and a gorgeous couple to photograph, they also want wanted to incorporate smoke bombs! We have been dying to smoke bombs in our photo shoot, so when Carla suggested it, we could pass the chance.

Where In Ottawa: Pink Lake | A Blog Series On Ottawa Best Locations For Wedding And Engagement Session

Despite its name, the lake is itself not pink at all, but rather green. It is named after the Pink family who had a farm close by back in the 1800s. Pink Lake is particularly unique because of its meromictic nature -  meaning its upper and lower layers of water never mix! A hike around the lake, on its well-maintained stairs and pathways, can take sixty to ninety minutes depending on your fitness level or how many stops you make on its various lookouts. Regardless of where you are on the trail, you will always have foliage and trees on one side and its beautiful turquoise-colored water on the other. I have been there once in the fall, and the lake reflects the vibrant colors of the changing leaves which make for a gorgeous mirrored effect!
