Melanie and Shane | An Early Summer Engagement Session in Guelph

I heard a long time ago from someone much wiser than me that the friends you choose reflect who you are as a person. I haven’t been able to prove that it’s wrong and I have found it useful especially in my line of work.  You see, I get my clients mostly through word of mouth. I can easily trace out how each of my clients are connected to each other because most of them belong to the same cirlcles of friends. Which is awesome! All my clients had been wonderful people, and that means they must have wonderful friends as well. I like getting nice people as clients.

Melanie and Shane are no different. They are connected to another couple of mine whose wedding I photographed last year — Vanessa and Ben. Melanie was friends with Vanessa. Vanessa’s mom was friends with Shane’s mom. And Shane was friends with Ben. We live in a small world indeed!

For their engagement session, Melanie and Shane wanted to be photographed in a natural setting. Although they both live in Toronto now,  their families are still in Guelph and so I took them to few spots in Guelph that have pretty natural sceneries. One of those spots was the Arboretum at the University of Guelph. It’s a popular location for photographers as the scenes change almost every month because of the variety of plants they have. It’s amazing how one place can have so many looks and can be photographed so many ways without looking the same all the time.

I had a great time spending the afternoon with Melanie and Shane. Their sense of humour is my kind of sense of humour. They like to laugh, so do I. Plus I got a few fitness tips from Shane as he is a certified personal trainer. It was all fun.

Here a few photos from their engagement session!
