Saira and Sultan | Love Sessions

July 9, 2010

accentSultan contacted me because he wanted to get portraits done of him and Saira as a surprise gift for their wedding anniversary. We worked out all the logistics and before I knew it, I was in Mississauga for their portraits! We had an amazing time! Saira and Sultan are super nice people and you can definitely feel the love between the two. We started off by taking some pictures in their gorgeous condo (Mega props to you Saira for the awesome decor).  After a quick outfit change, we moved over to Kariya Park. I love this park because there are so many elements to work with .  I love the Japanese feel to the garden but I also love that there are so many little details and focal points in that garden.

I’m going to stop rambling now - Congrats Saira and Sultan on your anniversary and I wish you many many more!

P.S. Saira has the most stunning eyes ever!!! and omg I can’t believe how photogenic these two are! Guys you were phenomenal in front of the camera!

Sarah and Sanjoy | Love sessions!

June 28, 2010

This weekend was one of my only free weekends in the next few weeks so I definitely made the most of it. I got a lot of editing done and even ordered 2 Brides books.  So now I’m right on schedule with the deadlines I set for myself each week. I started putting together this blog post last night but by the time I selected the images to upload, I was so sleepy that I had to put this off until today - so here goes:

I have quite a few engagement shoots I want to share with you guys, mostly of my couples who are getting married in the next few weeks so it’s very exciting! Today I’m going to be sharing pictures from Sarah and Sanjoy’s engagement shoot.   Sarah and Sanjoy both were a lot of fun to work with, they are super sweet and super awesome! I love how they are with each other. We started off in Byward Market for their shoot and worked our way over to the Chateau Laurier area.  Okay so rather then going on and on about the shoot, I’m just going to share the pictures and let you guys enjoy them!
