Jennifer & Stu Engagement

Jennifer and Stu wanted to capture the essence of Toronto and life in the city with their engagement session. I think we accomplished that pretty well!

Here they are in the café where Stu popped the big question (cool little place called Kalendar on College St.)!:


Next we were off to Lee's Palace, a popular alternative rock venue where Stu used to play (and I believe where the two of them met...I love how we caught that musician in the background as he headed out of the place:






Luckily there was still a bit of fall foliage left outside of Osgoode Hall, which is another great spot for photos (and quite popular for weddings):






It's not very often that I go into a shoot with preplanned images in my head, but this is one I really wanted to capture as soon as Stu mentioned the theme they wanted to convey:


They had the Christmas displays set up outside of HBC early this year. The music and holiday shoppers gave the street an electricity you only get at Christmastime:


The amazing architecture of the BCE place made for a cool backdrop:




♫ Love in an elevator ♫ ...


As this may be my last post before Christmas, I'd like to wish all of my regular readers, and new readers alike, a very Merry Christmas and an amazing New Year!

I'll be sure to post more in early 2007!

Cheers,

Michael
