Kevin and April are TV people, April works as a segment producer for Breakfast Television and Kevin is the IT manager for CTV Globe Media owner of Much Music, Chum FM and some more media entities. I was previledged to take their engagement photos in the Yorkville Area in Downtown Toronto. I was nervous at first because of who they are but it turned out well, they are down to earth and a nice couple. It was a fun 5 hours of e-session, we walked and took photos on the one block of Yorkville and ended our night at the Royal Ontario Museum along Bloor. This is one of the few urban engagement shoots I have done so far and doing it with Kevin and April was a great experience.

On another note, April Kalloo and Kevin Gopwani are the winners of this year's "The Kleinfeld Experience" presented by the ringbearer.ca. April will receive a $ 5,000 dress, trip to NYC, personal styling by Fashion Director Randy Fenoli and VIP store opening at the prestigious Kleinfeld Bridal Boutique. Congratulations guys!

Back to the engagement shoot of Kevin and April, here 's a video slideshow and a few shots from the e-session.

Kevin and April E-Session from Red Andal on Vimeo.

Katie and James is a couple from Kitchener in Ontario, they hired me as their wedding photographer when they tie the knot this summer in Sauble Beach. We did the e-session at the High Park close to downtown Toronto. Some photos and a video slideshow below, please have a look : ). They gave me the liberty to choose the background music for this engagement photo slideshow, I chose "I Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode for it's upbeat mood and message.

Ivan found me on Google, he was looking for a wedding photographer in Mississauga who's available to do a one hour shoot. I was free that day and agreed to do it. They just needed to document the wedding ceremony, we had some extra time so we took these snaps along the shores of Port Credit.

Stephen and Gina contracted me to be their wedding photographer, it was a half day wedding photography coverage starting at the Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Etobicoke and the garden and park shoot was at the Old Mill Inn and Spa in Toronto. It was a cold day for having the wedding couple photo shoot but we managed to get a few outdoor wedding photos at the Old Mill Inn. Here are a few wedding photos that we took at the church in Etobicoke and at the gardens of Old Mill Inn in Toronto. Thank you Stephen and Gina for hiring me as your wedding photographer.

Once in a while I get good news, last night, I got GREAT NEWS! I received an email from the editors of Bride.Ca a leading provider of information for Canadian Brides, bride.ca is the flagship property of a much larger national network of wedding websites (BridalNetwork.ca). They have chosen the photo below as one of the Top Picks in the engagement photo category for the year 2009.

 

If you haven't read the story about this shoot, click here, this is my most unforgettable shoot by far and the most fun. I was extrememly happy enough by how the couple appreciated this E-Session done in Oakville by a secret pond in Bronte, now I get this, I am stoked! What can I say? So if you are looking for a photographer to do your Engagement Shoot, you know who to call if you are in the GTA, Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto, Vaughan, Woddbridge up to Markham, call me, Red Andal, a wedding photographer : ).
