Daniel and I just got back from New York where i unsuccessfully shopped for a wedding dress, we participated in the Great Bridal Expo in Time Square (success level tbd) and we FINALLY got to do another photoshoot! We were itching to get out there and photograph again, and Connie and Steven, as well as their amazing New York apartment, were a great way for us to start our new year.
Connie and Steven just got engaged a few weeks ago and are having a destination wedding next fall so they’re new to all this planning stuff. Little do they know they’ve got quite a long road ahead of them… (can you tell it’s starting to get to me?!).
Here are a few of our favorites from the shoot:

Throughout the process of trying to schedule this engagement shoot, I discovered that it’s really hard to get two business owners (Daniel and I), an ophthalmologist (Karin) and a heart surgeon (Pierre-Luc) together at the same time! Our schedules never seemed to align and before we knew it, we had been going back in forth for 2 whole months. At last, this afternoon, we met up at Karin and Pierre-Luc’s apartment for the shoot. It was really neat to snoop around their home in search of the best spots and they were so patient and understanding – even when we asked them to huddle in the corner of their bathroom next to the toilet!
And I just can’t say enough about Zoe, the adorable Coco look-alike (Coco is our dog and she is practically identical to this one). She was so sweet and so cute that I swear I couldn’t look directly at her. She of course had to join in on the action for a few shots and she pretty much stole the show!
I’m so lucky to be shooting Karin and Pierre-Luc’s wedding next May here in Montreal; they are such great people (they gave us cupcakes!). In the meantime, we’ll have to arrange some play-dates for Zoe and Coco…

It was cold and it was dark all day, but Suzanne and Derrick were visiting from Toronto so there was no way we were rescheduling their engagement session! We all braced the elements and these two really were troopers. They didn’t even get scared off when Daniel told them they could “full on make out.” Seriously, where are that boy’s manners?! We can’t wait to see these two again at their wedding next April in Toronto.

The blog-sphere is really into the whole balloon-themed engagement session and while we’ve seen them used again and again, we totally see why. Simply put, balloons = fun! When Molina and Bernie (or Melanie and Brian as we decided to call them) told us they wanted to incorporate balloons into their e-session, we started brainstorming some good locations that would complement them. In the end, we basically took them on a site-seeing tour of all the locations we would have liked to shoot in this summer but never got the chance to. Molina and Bernie were great sports and we just can’t wait to shoot their Cambodian ceremony and wedding in November.

As our wedding season is winding down, we’re already starting to work with couples for 2010. This Sunday, I met up with Alana & Aren at Murray Hill Park where they spent a lot of time together when they started dating. We’re definitely looking forward to shooting their wedding at The Windsor next May!
