Lovers session in the Old Port of Montreal

June 6, 2020 Melissa

A birthday celebration during these times can be tricky to plan. Sometimes all you need is a unique idea to brighten up the day in a social distancing way – a couples photoshoot!

Alex was celebrating her 28th birthday that day, and she was really thrilled to dress up & have some photos taken! We strolled through the Old Port of Montreal chatting & finding fun spots to stop and take some photos. Alex and Dimitri were super cute, trendy and so naturally themselves! They were both secretly excited about being models in front of the camera and I think they did pretty amazing!

I absolutely LOVE photographing couples in our beloved city. There are so many hidden spots, colors, textures and choices of architecture to choose from. Knowing the city like the back of my hand comes in handy and I thank my many years of being a guide in the city for discovering those cool spots!

What I loved about this session was that it was simply for FUN! Remember that couples sessions are for everyone, and it really doesn’t have to be solely for a special occasion like a future wedding or baby on the way. Celebrating every day life and having sacred memories of you and your babe is what it’s all about!

Séance photo d’amoureux dans la région de Montréal

June 2, 2020 Melissa

Jade et Jean-Louis voulaient des images de leur couple, et quoi de mieux que faire une séance au bord de l’eau avec un coucher de soleil? Ils étaient complètement partants pour se coller, se chatouiller et faire une bataille dans l’eau! Ça j’adore!

Des petits moments colleux, “steamy” et pleins d’émotions, ils en ont eu plusieurs durant cette séance. Nous étions envahies par les moustiques, mais cela ne les a pas arrêté de profiter du moment présent!

Pas besoin d’une occassion spéciale pour avoir de belles photos!

An Outdoor Winter Elopement at Coeur Boheme

May 15, 2020 Melissa

Elisha & Bryan were lucky to have a styled engagement shoot with an adorable table and bonfire setup. They had a team of wedding vendors prep & style their photoshoot weeks in advance and all they had to do was show up, dress up & enjoy some hot coco and cake while I captured their moments!

The reason I’m sharing this engagement session is because it was too fun & gorgeous not to. Their engagement took place in the countryside of Rigaud, Quebec at La Maison Bohème. This is the perfect spot for all laid back and outdoor loving couples like Elisha and Bryan. Turns out they could not have had a better winter day.

If you’re currently engaged and haven’t yet set a time for an engagement session, get on it! I cannot emphasize how valuable and beneficial this session can be. It’s a great moment for you & I to get to know each other before your big day. You will also feel more confident being in front of the lens by having this fun and laid back ‘practice’ round. Say goodbye to the camera nerves, you’re going to rock it on your wedding day after this session!

This cute couple were friends for a long time before making it official as a couple. Bryan proposed to Elisha on a romantic date night and then planned a surprise greeting with their families and close friends once they got home. What a rush of emotions and dose of love in one night!

To all couples out there not sure about a winter engagement session, fear not – you will not be getting photos that appear like a family holiday card! You can capture the beauty of fresh snow, cozy vibes without hanging a bunch of mistletoes. Now I may be more than ready for summer to arrive, but I wouldn’t mind another winter day if it looked like this…
