Patricia + Dean : Toronto Engagement

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Trish and Dean love the movie Up and so when they wanted to have balloons along for their engagement session, I was all for it. I mean, who doesn’t love that movie? It’s like saying you don’t like cute, cuddly puppies if you don’t like Up. And much like I imagine Ellie and Carl to be, Trish and Dean are just an incredibly fun couple to capture on camera. Constantly laughing, making hilarious faces and thrown in with a mix of tender moments, it felt so right to witness two individuals so clearly in love and so happy to be together.

We started out the day on that early Sunday morning at the Humber River Pedestrian Bridge and eventually made our way over to Kew Gardens and the Beaches. At the end of it all, it seemed absolutely fitting to give the dozen colourful balloons out to all the little children out for a Sunday play day with their parents in tow… the smiles on their tiny faces just said it all. Just perfect.

Trish & Dean: You are totally the real life Ellie and Carl. It’s so much fun watching you guys have fun and I can’t wait for your wedding day to come around. I know it’s going to be an amazing day and I’m so excited to be a part of it!

Much Love & Hugs, Jenne.

Just a note: Trish’s amazing make-up was done early Sunday morning by make-up artist, Rhia Amio.

Ivona + Mark : Newmarket Engagement

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

When Ivona emailed me the day before her engagement session to let me know she had found the perfect location for the shoot, I was stoked. See, sometimes you just happen upon locations serendipitously. Up until that moment, we were all sort of unsure as to where to shoot this session. Both Ivona and Mark live in the Bradford area and I’m all the way down in Toronto so I had no idea what was where up their way… I decided to leave it to them and see what came about. Like I said, serendipity. They were driving around Newmarket the day before the shoot and came across a gorgeous horse farm. When they asked the owner if we could shoot on the property, she was more than happy to let us! Sometimes, it really doesn’t hurt to ask!

Both Ivona and Mark wanted a location with character and an earthy kind of feel. I can’t think of anything better than a beautiful farm with white roofs, barn walls painted blue and horses grazing in the meadows. Oh and hay… lots of hay. Mark definitely wanted hay. This is what I love! Each of the couples that I work with seem to come up with special locations that really reflect who they are and the session just flies by! Fantastic couple + equally fantastic location = one amazing engagement session!

Ivona & Mark: I had a lot of fun with you guys on this shoot! You’re both beautiful people and I can’t wait to document your wedding day in July.

Much Love & Hugs, Jenne.

One of my faves… the backlighting in the doorway of the barn was just heaven.

The blueness of the walls was just unreal! Just a perfect backdrop!

You guys seriously rocked this session!

The lighting inside the barn was equally amazing… Ivona, Mark – you guys picked a gem!

So gorgeous…

Mark knows how to hold his own too!
