HOT HOT HOT...The only word to describe this session. Jordan and Addison were made for the camera.
When Jordan reached out to book their wedding, she also inquired for an engagement session. Engagement sessions are a great way to ease nerves, get to know each other and have some fun without any pressure of timelines. Getting to know each other might make you feel a bit better with me third wheeling on wedding day.
Bonus: you'll have images for save the dates, invites and guest books.
Jordan & Addison put together a Pinterest board for their beach engagement session & knew the aesthetic they were going for. They wanted to do a bit of a unique and creative beach shoot and wanted to scream “Seth Rogan’s GQ.” In Jordan’s words, “we want to look super fucking cool.” I think we absolutely crushed it, if I do say so myself! If you don’t know the reference, punch it in google for a quick image search– all the laid-back feels.
I knew the couple was located in Burlington, and I felt that Burlington’s Waterfront fit the couple’s vibe well. Located on Lake Ontario, The Beachway Park, at Burlington Beach, features white sand, shallow water and has a unique spin with pillars and electrical wires over the sandy beach area. Our session started off super cloudy and ended with a perfect beach sunset! Jordan told me she asked her grandpa, up above, to give them a perfect sunset for their engagement photos; absolutely melt my heart why don’t ya!
I recommend couples bring a few things to their beach engagement sessions: a blanket to sit on, water, chap stick and an outfit change are just a few examples. Sometimes having things to hold is helpful. Think instruments, hats, beer, sunglasses. Stick with "cute accessories" and avoid "cheesy props."
Why not make a date night out of your engagement session?! Grab some dinner when we’re done shooting. Burlington Waterfront is great because Downtown Burlington is just a quick 5-minute drive or 20 minute walk away from the beach and parking downtown is free on weekends!
