Scottsdale Farm Surprise Proposal | Allison + Justin

Allison is a good friend of mine and if there is one person who deserves a happily ever after, it's her. She met her boyfriend Justin as a teenager and they eventually found their way back to each other as adults and are now madly in love. When Justin approached me and asked if I would like to be involved in the proposal I immediately answered YES!! I arranged a couples session with Allison under the ruse that I needed a couple to model for me in a location I was eager to shoot at. Justin and I decided that Scottsdale Farm in Milton, On would be the perfect romantic backdrop for their session. We devised a plan to start the shoot off normally and then halfway through, pop the question and continue on as an engagement session. Justin had a very clear idea about how he wanted to propose, so we created some chalkboards and came up with an idea to play a game that would surprise Allison. I gave each couple a board and asked them some questions. They each had to write down their answers and then reveal them to each other. My favourite moment of the day was when Allison registered what Justin wrote on his board and immediately started crying tears of happiness. For me, it was amazing to be able to experience such a joyful moment with my friend, I will never forget it. 

If I were to offer some advice to all the boyfriends out there thinking of proposing to their loved ones, I would say seriously consider having someone photograph it. Often times the moment is such a whirlwind, it is nice to look back to relive it. The tangible moment offered through a photograph can be shared for generations and it will make your proposal unforgettable.

Wishing you and yours the happiest family day!! One week ago at the entrepreneurship panel we were asked to give one piece of advice to women looking to start a business. My advice was to define your own version of success. I cant stress this enough- Don't compare your success to others when you have no idea how they measure it. Some people measure their success in numbers, accolades and recognition. I measure mine in the time I get to spend with these two, and the adventures we have together. I measure it in the fulfilment my work gives me that allows me to be a positive force in our family and an example for my tiny human.So the next time to look to someone you *think* is more successful than you, remember how YOU measure success and work on cultivating more of that ;)

The pinkest of all tables just in time for Valentines Day!! I have to give a shout out to my girls @confettiand.co and @threadsandblooms for creating the most beautiful table at our most recent Curated Collection workshop last month! Now, I have to ask- who actually does something with their loved one for Valentines day? And what do you do! Over here we're definitely watching Netflix and **Maybe** ordering takeout. A modern day romance!
Coming to @vineyard.bride TOMORROW 🙌🏻

Sooooo one of my oldest, bestest, friends in the whole wide world is GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR. I could cry just thinking about it. I get asked a lot why on earth I would want to work a friends wedding rather than attend it and I have a completely selfish answer- it means I get to spend pretty much the entire day with my friend. As a guest or even a bridal party member, you're not guaranteed a lot of time with the couple but as the photographer you are by their side the entire day. So, I get to stand by my buddies side on one the the most important days of her life, thats a pretty cool gig if you ask me! How about you fellow togs!? Attend a wedding or shoot it?? .
