Prince Edward County Winery and Secret Beach Engagement Photos - Emily and Jon

Prince Edward County Engagement Shoot

Oh, how we’ve missed shooting! How we’ve missed meeting our wonderful couples! It feels so good to be back, and there was no better way to kick off the wedding season than with a dreamy engagement shoot in Prince Edward County engagement featuring the adorable Emily and Jon. It always makes me chuckle when we first meet a couple and they preemptively apologize for being “awkward” in front of the camera. It just takes a few moments to warm up and get comfortable with the camera and our energetic presence. When we met Emily and Jon, their fun-loving personalities immediately told us this shoot was going to be a blast. With their chosen locations, it was bound to be perfect.

Emily and Jon, like us, are from Toronto, but their hearts belong to Prince Edward County. The County has a unique charm that’s unmatched in Ontario. From its quaint towns and scenic wineries to its secluded, sandy beaches, there are so many beautiful spots to discover. The beaches in Prince Edward County even offer stunning, unobstructed sunset views, something that’s quite rare in Toronto. Emily and Jon got the idea for their shoot from Sandra and Anthony’s Prince Edward County engagement session in Prince Edward County—after seeing their breathtaking sunset lake photos, they knew they wanted their own.

By Chadsey’s Cairns Winery Engagement Photos

Our first stop was the charming By Chadsey’s Cairns Winery, one of the original pioneer wineries in Prince Edward County. We were welcomed by Vida, the winemaker, whose hospitality and warmth set the tone for a perfect start. The lush vineyard, glowing in the golden light of the setting sun, combined with the rustic barn and historic brick buildings, perfectly captured the romantic essence of Prince Edward County.

Prince Edward County Secret Beach Engagement Photos

Diego and I were especially excited for the second stop: a secret beach known only to locals. We’ve visited many beautiful beaches in Prince Edward County over the years, but we understand why the locals want to keep this spot a secret. The path to the beach winds through a forest dotted with white and yellow blooms, leading to a pristine pebble beach with crystal-clear blue water. Emily’s floral print dress and Jon’s navy-blue jacket were perfect for a romantic stroll through the woods, followed by a champagne toast while watching the sun set over the lake. They looked stunning, happy, and deeply in love as they sipped sparkling wine and snuggled on the beach.

As the sun set and the beach emptied, the calm, clear water was too inviting for Emily and Jon to resist dipping their feet in, leading to lots of splashing and giggling. Their playful spirit, combined with the stunning rainbow colors of the sunset sky, made this the highlight of the day for us. But the shoot wasn’t over yet. As the sky’s colors deepened, it was the perfect time to capture unobstructed views of the beach and vibrant sunset. Emily’s billowing dress, as Jon twirled her, created magical silhouette photos, the perfect end to a perfect evening.

Emily and Jon, we can’t thank you enough for sharing your evening with us and introducing us to these amazing spots in Prince Edward County. With each visit, we fall more in love with the County. We can’t wait to be back.
