Rouge National Urban Park Same-Sex Fall Engagement Session
Diego and I could not wait to shoot at Rouge National Urban Park again after Christina and Travis’s engagement session earlier this fall, but we definitely did not expect to be back there so soon after. While brainstorming engagement session location ideas for Adam and Geoff’s shoot, we figured we’d throw Rouge National Urban Park in for consideration again as it was just so much fun exploring with Christina and Travis, plus we were definitely not done there yet - there is just so much potential there, so much space and diversity, so much to create with. So when Adam and Geoff chose Rouge National Urban Park we were stoked to be back there again so soon.
It’s amazing what a difference a couple of weeks can make in a park. It looked vastly different than the last time we explored Rouge National Urban Park. This time around, we were deep into fall and the colours were absolutely incredible and the ground was covered in a thick blanket of yellow and orange leaves. It was also significantly more crowded this time, and understandably so - it was the perfect time to witness the stunning fall colours that Canada is so well-known for.
Shooting with Adam and Geoff was simply a breeze and such a joy. It was impossible not to feel all the warm fuzzy feelings of love when around them two - they were constantly giggling with each other, happily nuzzling and cuddling up to one another, and just always by each other’s side. One small prompt from us was all they needed to burst out laughing with phenomenal big smiles and all the love they have for each other. Adam and Geoff, we are obsessed with the smiles and laughter that you two brought to your engagement session. The love that you have for each other is just so evident in every one of your photos. We simply cannot wait for your big day and to create more magic together!

One of the perks of being a wedding photographer is that you get to discover your own city and its surroundings. There are so many hidden gems around, so many parks and historic locations that we’d have never heard of if it weren’t for our awesome couples. Just last month, Christina and Travis introduced us to Rouge National Urban Park.
Shooting at an abandoned location of some sorts has been on the bucket list for Diego and I for quite some time. There is just something so eery and fun at the same time about abandoned locations - maybe it’s all the colourful graffiti that often covers the walls of abandoned places, or the bursts of light that come through the broken windows and cracks in the ceilings, but whatever it is, we saw the potential of creating some epic shots in an abandoned place and we couldn’t wait for an adventurous couple to take us up on the idea of shooting their engagement photos at such a spot. Jenn and Arvin were just that couple!
