Downtown Toronto Engagement Photos Archives

Downtown Toronto Engagement | Ginny & Brian

When Ginny and Brian said they live close to Rogers Centre they weren’t kidding!
You could basically extend your arm out their window and touch it. Talk about location!
That being said, these two really enjoy going to Blue Jays games together so they brought their jerseys to immortalize that part of their lives in their engagement photos.

We also stopped at Sud Forno for their scrumptious donut hole bites. Dang, they looked good. Sud Forno is also just such a unique and cool restaurant – if you haven’t been, you should check it out! They also have a bakery downstairs (restaurant is upstairs) with amazing-looking fresh bread. Ok, writing this is making me want to go back and get some.

After Sud Forno we went down to the area surrounding Steam Whistle Brewery because it’s got some pretty great views of the CN Tower and Rogers Centre. We walked around and snapped some photos when inspiration struck.

Lastly, we stopped off at one of the most iconic spots for a downtown Toronto engagement session – The Flat Iron Building. The sun was setting and the twinkly lights of the cars and city scape were the perfect end to their engagement session.

I love that these two took their photos in the area they currently live – down the road they can remember some of the places near the place they first called home together 🙂
Without further adieu, here are some of my faves from our evening together!

And here’s their love story!

“We first met in highschool at a friend’s house party. It’s funny because we didn’t hit it off at first but after getting to know each other better that summer, Brian decided to ask me out but I declined thinking he was a bit of a dork (which he still is!). Few months later after spending more time together as friends, I changed my mind and gave him a chance – the rest is history! We’ve now been together for 16 years and feel lucky to have grown up together.

We love eating and travelling together. With Hong Kong being one of our favourite cities to visit, Brian knew it was the perfect place to surprise me with a proposal during our trip there earlier this year. We look forward to sharing our wedding with our family and friends in Niagara-on-the-Lake in September 2018″

Enjoyed this downtown Toronto engagement session? Feel free to check out this one or this one too!

I’d actually emailed with Tiina a few times before she was even engaged – She manages the photo permits at the Carpet Factory in Liberty Village, one of my favourite places to shoot!

When she and Greg booked with me for their wedding and engagement photos, we of course *had* to use the Carpet Factory premises somehow. Lucky us, she gets access to some top secret amaaaaaazing spots.
I absolutely loved exploring all the secret nooks of the area. Their engagement photos have a relaxed, intimate and candid feel to them that I absolutely adore.

Thanks so much for letting loose in front of my lens and for such a fantastic evening, you guys!

And now, here’s their love story! Written by the lovebirds themselves:

Greg and I met 4 years ago over some beers on a patio. During our first date, we spent most of the time talking about our adventures traveling Southeast Asia and other parts of the world. The conversations flowed so naturally and time just flew by. Shortly after our first date, I was off on another adventure. We talked everyday while I was away… the rest is history. Since then, we’ve traveled to 8 counties together and have another 2 trips planned before the wedding in October.

In our spare time, we’re either planning our next getaway or staying active.

The “proposal”

Greg proposed at Blue Mountain, along a quiet trail at the top of the mountain. With snowboards were in tow, Greg got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was perfect and not a person in sight. After soaking in the moment, we went down the slopes to enjoy some bubbly.

I’m excited to be marrying my best friend, my travel partner and the person who makes ME a better person.

(He probably wouldn’t want me to mention this – but I taught him how to snowboard!!)
