“It’s snowing!!!!! I think this could be great… and also very unfortunate for hair.”

The excitement in Ashley’s text message early on Saturday morning set the tone for the whole day for me. She wasn’t the only one who was saturated with delight for our upcoming time together, as I have been looking forward to shoot Ashley and her charming fiancé Mike for weeks.

Ashley and Mike are proof that long-distance relationships work. With Mike living in Vancouver and Ashley back home in Whitby, Ontario, they shared hours and hours of conversation which led to a love that is incredibly infectious. I’m so thrilled to hear all the plans for their upcoming wedding in 2016!

We met at Cullen Gardens in Whitby and after catching up for a few minutes, I couldn’t help but to get right into shooting. Despite the freezing winds, Ashley and Mike were naturals in front of the camera – or maybe they made it look easy because they are just so good looking! They were so adorable together, and I’m honoured to share some of the sweet moments of love between them.

Ashley and Mike – thank you for making this shoot one for the ages and one I will never forget. You guys are rock stars.
