June 2010 Engagements

I had the privilege of shooting these two engagement sessions at two of my favourite locations. Both locals come complete with old architectural ruins, stunning nature, a riverfront and for a more urban feel: graffiti. What more could you ask for in a single location?


Jill and Orlando

Jill and Orlando chose to have their engagement photos at Mill Race Park in Cambridge, Ontario on June 13, 2010. This lovely couple is an online-love success story and are truly an amazing couple. It took Jill a few minutes to get comfortable in front of the camera at the beginning of our session but once she did the rest of the time flowed fabulously and ended up in a playful (and very wet!) water fight between the two of them. Thanks again for the ice cream after the session! It was a great way to spend a beautiful June day.

Jenny and John

Jenny and John (and their wonderful dog) picked Goldie Mill in Guelph, Ontario for their engagement session on June 27, 2010.  Jenny is a fun-loving, natural model and it was almost impossible not to take hundreds upon hundreds of photos of her as she posed, laughed and brought life to all our locations. John may be the quiet half of the pair but he is the ultimate good sport, willing to do just about anything to get a great shot. We grabbed shots at the mill and down the trail along the river and included their very fun and photogenic dog in several of the engagement shots.

Jessica and Jeremy • June 12, 2010

June brings Captured Soul Photography back into Ontario for a summer of stunning local weddings after a winter of chasing after the sun in more tropical climates.

Our first fabulous wedding of the season was with Jessica and Jeremy who were married on June 12, 2010. We began the day with getting ready shots at Expressions Hair Design in Stratford, Ontario and at the bride's mother's home.  Jessica wanted portrait photos taken at the elegant Stratford White House so she arranged to have us stop on our way to their ceremony in Waterloo. This incredible victorian location is a perfect spot for timeless photos.

The ceremony and reception were held at Grey Silo Golf Club in Waterloo, a popular and striking location for weddings in the area. Very little has to be done to this hall to make it impressive... it's an amazing choice for couples that love an open and rustic ambience.

Portrait photos of the family were taken at Grey Silo following the ceremony. We then piled the wedding party into the limo and traveled into St Jacobs Village and along the scenic Mill Run Trail for portraits and candids. Due to the looming threat of rain that seemed to follow us, the couple had come prepared with fabulous black umbrellas with "just married" written across them in large white lettering. Although the couple missed but a few drops of rain, the umbrellas made for some great shots. When the rain actually started to fall (right when we were finishing up! - *Thanks to the weather gods*), I quickly stopped traffic long enough to capture some incredible shots of the couple dancing in the street and then we escaped back to the hall for their very deletable dinner and wonderful reception which lasted long into the evening.

Congratulations Jessica & Jeremy!  It was an honour capturing your wedding!
