Our Engagement Photos – Part 3 – Distillery District

This week’s images come from our session at the historic Distillery District in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Every week since I’ve started this series, I’ve had a difficult time selecting the images to post and write about. Initially, I was going to post the images in the order that they were shot, but I think I’ll mix things up a bit. For this week’s post, Loretta suggested some images from Toronto, and I thought it was a great idea.

This session was fun for us because, for the first time, we had witnesses. Loretta’s parents came out to the Distillery District with us, and I’ll never forget Loretta’s reaction to her parents’ reactions while we were shooting. At one point, Loretta cracked up and said that her parents actually turned around after seeing us hug and kiss each other. Can’t blame them, of course. With that being said, we all had fun, and I got some photos of her parents together, too! 🙂

Towards the end of the session, I wanted to do a shot along a row of lamp posts. The light was everything a photographer could want — nice, soft, and even. Then suddenly, as I was setting up, the sun beamed thru the clouds and onto Loretta’s face. I knew I would have just a minute before it was gone, so I rushed to get in the shot. And sure enough, according to the timestamps on my images, the light was gone in 60 seconds. I think God was giving us a break after freezing in the cold all day long. It was so cold that Loretta’s parents went to warm up in the car before we wrapped up the shoot.

Despite the cold weather, I had a great time during my first trip to Toronto. I would love to shoot a wedding in Toronto someday!

These are a few favorites from our engagement session at the Distillery Historic District. Do you have a favorite? If so, let us know! 🙂
