Bartek & Magda

After lots of emailing we finally met Lidia and Sandro at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in downtown Ottawa. We immediately noticed that they’re both quite easy on the eyes and their personalities are equally as attractive! :)

Before an engagement photo session we love to just sit down and talk with our couples just to get to know them and also to get them comfortable. This time it was nearly unnecessary because we meshed so well that Magda and I felt like we were just hanging out with old friends! We talked and talked and almost forgot that we had a shoot to do, so we headed outside to catch some golden sunlight near the Ottawa parliament. Taking photos at Major’s Hill Park in is a real pleasure with light light this.

I’m fairly certain that Lidia used to model since her Vogue posing was oh so natural for her. And Sandro, being the incredibly tall guy that he is, worked it out like a pro and also looked like he does this for a living. After many laughs, a wardrobe change and lots of walking and talking we ended up with a beautiful portfolio for these two lovebirds. We are also thrilled to recently find out that they were able to secure their reception hall on a date where they are also able to have us capture the day! Enjoy the photos and we’ll see you at your wedding, we cannot wait! Ta taa for now! :)

My-An and Frank are two of the most adorable people we have recently met. Initially they were shy and timid when we first met them, but they knew exactly what they wanted from a wedding photographer! Asking all the right questions and jotting everything down. It was almost like a little exam for Magda and I and we were thrilled to have “passed” it when they called us back saying they would like us to be there on their special day! :)

Fast forward to a few weeks ago to a quiet park on Montreal’s Nun’s Island where we met to take some pre-wedding engagement photos for the two of them. As usual with 99% of our couples, My-An and Frank felt a little intimidated by our cameras, but after about 15 minutes something magical happened. My-An came out and started giving us fierce poses and the two of them started to get really comfortable in from of the lens! Before we knew it My-An and Frank were laughing and losing themselves in each other which is exactly what we want. We weren’t there. It was just them, nature and the beautiful sunlight. We look forward to their Vietnamese ceremony in a few weeks!
