Simcoe County Engagement Photographer

This couple had multiple locations in mind for their engagement session and one of them was this rusty train bridge in Essa with a large love sign in spray paint.

There aren't enough words to extend my love and thanks for the work Frances did for my fiancé and I's engagement shoot! She made the process feel extremely natural, and it was a really fun evening. We are in absolute awe of our pictures, our family and friends are having trouble choosing a favourite! Thanks again Frances, we can't wait until the wedding!

THEIR LOVE STORY

• How did you meet?
  We first met at McMaster since we were in the same undergraduate program. It wasn't until 2 years after we initially met that a mutual friend (who is now officiating our wedding) set us up! At the time Michael was in Winnipeg and I was in Hamilton, so we were getting to know each other through FaceTime and text messaging. He came home two months later, and we've been together ever since!
• 
  
• What do you remember most about your first date?
  We went to the Toronto Christmas Market (with our mutual friend in tow), and I remember being so nervous! It felt so real, so fast, and that feeling was overwhelming, but amazing all at the same time. I love Christmas and winter, it was a magical day!
• When did you know he was the one?
  Oh boy, it didn't take very long! Not even a month into officially dating. This may sound silly, but one major thing was he can cook, and loved to cook for me. To know me is to know, 1) I love food, but 2) I can't cook for the life of me. The way to my heart is through my tummy that's for sure.
• 
  
• How did you feel the moment he proposed?
  Were you surprised by his planning?Utterly shocked! We knew quite early on that we would get married, but he always talked about how he wanted to be at a certain point in his career before we did (or so I thought!). When it happened earlier than that timeline, it was super unexpected for me in the moment! We got engaged in Sweden while we were visiting some close friends of ours, and I couldn't believe he travelled all that way with the ring!
• What do you like to do as a couple?
  We love to travel/adventure around. No matter where we are we always find some place to enjoy and explore, it's so fun!
