It was a joy and a privilege to photograph my cousin’s engagement to her partner Andrew. Both have a strong love and connection to nature, so it was only fitting to find a location with plenty of it.

Pat and Amanda were complete naturals and a pleasure to photograph. With little guidance, they leaned into the intimacy of the moment as I documented all the excitement surrounding their next chapter together.

Marina and I connected over our shared love of photography. Luckily for me, she knows how to work both sides of a camera and made this shoot feel effortless.

We met up on a bright and sunny day and wandered along Toronto’s lakeshore looking for places to casually listen to music, read a book, and pose in front of graffiti.

Nye and I met working in a restaurant together several years ago.

During a shift together he talked about the bike repairs he did as a casual side business. He talked so passionately about working with his hands and the joy it brings him to do custom work for people. I immediately got ideas for this shoot and pitched the idea to him.

After quite a few months passed, we finally got together and spent an afternoon shooting these photos.
