A winter love story: Engagement Photography

The magic of an engagement session when the sun peaks through as the first snow of the month starts to fly. Yep it was SO cold but gah…so worth it.

Despite the bitter temps Mitch and Madison spiced things up keeping one another warm and looked AMAZING in the process.

I was and still am obsessed with their connection, emotions and this stunning backdrop to celebrate their engagement. There is something about the forest that envelopes you and stirs all of your senses to be present. Combine that with a photography session and just watch how it shifts your body language. You are more in tune with one another when surrounded by beauty and calm.

Like this moment right here. Only we knew that the wind was biting our toes and stinging our cheeks haaa.

The result…a gorgeous moment captured they will forever cherish.

The moments in between, the laughter and playfulness of your relationship are some of my favourite moments.

So this is Piper. LOL Isn’t she adorable? Honest, she really does love Jacob too. But clearly was like no buddy…she’s mine. Man we laughed so hard, but what a picture and memory it made for.

Our fall golden hour evening was amazing. Below is a sneak peak of just a little fun we created and documented that day.

If you took a moment to check out the gallery you’ll have noticed Piper got a few burrs stuck. No harm done while removing, but last picture is classic!

A Surprise Proposal: Whitby_OshawaEngagementPhotographer

Earlier this year I received an inquiry from an excited and very organized man who was about to propose to his sweet girlfriend. After hearing how and where I just knew this was going to be a tear jerker and beautiful session.

Enter Tony & Riley. They met at a Starbucks in town and he wanted to bring her back to the same spot that they met. To the same location that he knew she was “the one” for him. And so their story begins. I’ll let these next images tell their own story.

She said YES!

The staff inside Starbucks knew about this special curb side order and once they realized Riley said yes the shouting and clapping began. So cute….

WhitbyEngagementCouplePhotographer

Congratulations guys! Well done Tony you got her good lol. I absolutely loved this surprise session. You know.. the stakeout, hiding behind pillars and running through the parking lot. Worth every minute to capture these tow lovebirds. Just look at the smiles on their faces.


We took advantage of the break in the weather that day and braved the cold to capture the moment a little longer. Here is a sneak peak.

Congratulations Tony & Riley! Wishing you all the best until our paths cross again!

Fall Engagement Couple

I have the BEST clients I tell you! I am not lying either. Meet Natalie & Aly. They reached out early in the year for a consult on their upcoming wedding. We connected over the phone during our first lockdown. Right from the beginning, they were both so amazing and easy to talk/work with. Major props too Natalie for being such an organized bride to be, that she made my job that much more easy. Well done!!

WhitbyEngagementPhotographer_PetraKingPhotography

As soon as we had the green light to do so, we couldn’t wait to get their engagement session done. We picked a week during fall that allowed us to take advantage of these GORGEOUS colours. But man oh man was it freezing! You’d never know with these two though. Hot couple alert right? lol

Hee hee…..she cute right?

So when the 3 of us were planning out their engagement session, Natalie asked if her sweet puppy could join. Ummm YES! Meet Willow. She was such a good girl and the sweetest while we were taking pictures too. She made us laugh though…check out her paw on Aly when they cuddled in for a kiss. She’s like…nope…I saw her first haaa..

Sweet thang….
