Engagements & proposals

The question, the yes, and everything after

From a hidden-camera rooftop proposal to a slow golden-hour walk by the lake, engagement sessions are where we get to know each other before the wedding — and where you learn how easy it is to be in front of our camera.

Starting from $199

How we work

Calm, considered and completely about you

Secret proposals, planned to the minute

We scout the spot, agree on a signal and stay hidden until the ring comes out. Then a short couple session while you're still glowing.

Gentle direction

Most couples say they are awkward on camera. We give you simple prompts and movement, so the photos look like you — not like posing.

Your wedding rehearsal

An engagement session lets us learn your best angles, your light and how you move together, so your wedding portraits are effortless.

A recent story

She said yes, twenty storeys up

A downtown rooftop, a hidden photographer and a very nervous groom. We captured the walk out, the knee and the happy tears — then twenty minutes of portraits with the skyline behind them.

Where are the best engagement locations in the GTA?

Favourites include the Distillery District, Evergreen Brick Works, the Scarborough Bluffs, Main Street Unionville, Humber Bay Arch Bridge and the Toronto Botanical Garden. We'll suggest spots that suit your style and the season.

How do you keep a proposal a secret?

We plan everything with the person proposing by text or phone, arrive early dressed casually, and blend in as a passer-by until the moment happens.

Is an engagement session included with our wedding?

It is complimentary with our Classic, Signature and Grand wedding collections, and available from $199 on its own.
