These romantic engagement photos Toronto session felt like a scene out of The Notebook, and it will be forever etched in my heart. Surrounded by lush green trees and a serene pond, the adventurous and playful chemistry between these two whirlwind lovers was simply off the charts.
There is something simply magical about the love story between Anastasia and David. Having met while working together during university, it seemed like a fateful chance meeting. She tells me, “We immediately clicked, we were crushing hard on each other… from our first date on, we were inseparable for the rest of that summer, totally smitten…”.
I met up with these adventurous two for their engagement photos Toronto at this incredibly intimate and peacefully beautiful pond. The kelly green rowboats, the quiet waters and the rustic dock gave off a cozy, romantic feeling. With Otis Redding and Sam Smith softly playing from my portable speaker in the background, these two were absolutely smitten with each other – I was simply there to document it all.
It wasn’t long before storm clouds started to roll in, and with child-like enthusiasm, they ran down the dock and embraced under the rain. They held onto each other tightly, cherishing the moment and taking in the beauty of the surroundings. The wind blew through their hair, and the scent of fresh rain would fill the air. Anastasia and David exchanged sweet words of love and promises of forever, as the storm raged on around them. The photos we created below are a stunning visual story of their love and commitment to each other.
This day was all the things that I am and all the things I want to photograph in people. Raw. Happy. Intimate. In the moment. Simple. Incredibly sweet. Tender. Swoon-worthy.
All the qualities that make life so gosh darn sweet.
With love,
Jacqueline James
