Trish & Vik | Engagement | Burlington

Burlington Ontario, what a great little city! Other than a wedding I once attended I’ve never really been there so when Trish and Vik wanted their engagement photos in their home town I obliged.

They met at McMaster Hospital back in 2005 when Vik started his residency and Trish started working as a researcher in Pediatric Oncology. A random conversation led to chats over coffee, then walks by the waterfront and vacations to explore the world and 3 years later a proposal.

Trish and Vik are currently living in Boston where Vik, a radiologist is training at Harvard Medical School while Trish gets to enjoy the sights, sounds and of course as she mentioned and something my own wife would love, shopping!

Anyhow, Burlington and their old condo still hold a special place in their heart. The landlord graciously let us in to take some photos and preserve some of the memories of their first home. From there we walked the vicinity of the condo and the waterfront where they used to hang out and study together. We also ended the night on the roof top of the condo to take in the warm summer sunset and enjoy the view.

Janet & Joel | Engagement | Toronto

One of my favorite things about this job is the variety of people I get to meet and learn about the different cultures, backgrounds and interests they have.

Janet & Joel met at the University of Western Ontario 8 years ago. They started dating in 2nd year and now they will be getting married next month. Janet is currently getting her PhD (Stem Cell Research) at the University of Toronto and Joel is an HR professional. When not working hard they love to watch horror movies with zombies and with an active interest in culinary arts they are always entertaining their friends with new and exciting meals. They also have a cat named Jinx who unfortunately didn’t make it to the downtown Toronto engagement session.
