These two are seriously special. They were willing and excited to shoot their engagement outside in the wintertime weather right before the Christmas holidays. The last time I was in Port Credit was in the summertime for another sweet engagement. This time we had the waterfront all to ourselves and it was absolutely romantic and a perfect setting for these snowy photos.

Lorianne and Winston’s love has grown over the last seven and a half years and I am so excited to shoot their wedding this May! After meeting through a mutual friend, Lorianne was practically swept off her feet by Winston aka “Usher.” They met for the first time with their best friends by their side for moral support. Since then, they have loved and supported each other through life’s many ups and downs.

Their proposal was totally reflective of their relationship’s dynamic. It was hard at first for Lorianne to accept Winston’s proposal one night after her birthday weekend last year. Mainly because it was one of “those” nights. You know what I mean, sweat pants – chillin’ with no makeup on – cue Drake! Without the proposal being the fairytale she had imagined, Lorianne realized that Winston’s proposal was right on point nonetheless. The bigger picture of it all was that his love was deeper than her physical appearance. How sweet is that!?! Their connection is genuine and I’m the lucky one.

“I love his patience, understanding, his deep love for me which he continues to show me everyday, his hardworking, caring and comedic nature, his positivity, and most importantly his big heart. We have such opposite personalities at times but I love that because he balances me out.” – Lorianne

“…They say you know a person truly loves you when they have no guarantee yet they invest in you anyways — Winston’s love for me is something that I could never question and it’s just another thing that makes it easier for me to love him even more each day.” – Lorianne
