Ooh, I was so excited to shoot this Ontario cottage engagement session!
There’s nothing quite like a visit to the cottage.
As someone who lives in the bustling, often smoggy city of Toronto (which I absolutely love, don’t get me wrong!), the clear, fresh air that comes with vast expanses of nature is invigorating.
Pair that with the relaxed, care-free vibe that you can’t help but adopt in such a magnificently beautiful place, and you have a recipe for a great time.
Emily and Matt are having their wedding at Emily’s parents’ home/’cottage’ near Creemore, Ontario, and we decided to take some engagement photos as we explored the property in preparation for their big day.
Her parents built the home from the ground-up and have been so thoughtful and creative with how they use the land surrounding it. They’ve created lovely trails around the land with hand-made benches and bridges sprinkled in the most perfect locations along the way. (I remember thinking, ‘it’d be so nice to have a place to sit and enjoy this view’ a couple of times, and each time one was right there!)
For this shoot we incorporated bubbly and a pool hangout since those are musts for this pair at this rural retreat.
For the wedding, Emily’s mom is going to utilize her award-winning gardening prowess to make the home even more beautiful than it already is – I can’t wait. Until then, here’s there engagement session!
P.S. How much does Matt look like John Hamm? We had a riot whenever he made certain faces – it was uncanny!
