Lia & Rick are such a beautiful and amazing couple. They compliment each other perfectly; you can tell by the infatuation between them in way they interact, without always having to be attached. They are such generous and thoughtful people, and made sure that everyone at their engagement party was having a good time, even/especially their photographer!

Despite the chilly day yesterday, they were very eager when I proposed to take a few photos outside. As you can see, they easily warm each other up with their bright personalities.

With an engagement party like this, I can only imagine how great their wedding will be!

Here are a few of my favorite photos. For the rest of the samples, visit JNQ&Co.’s Facebook Page.

Karen & Ramon are a very welcoming & entertaining couple. Although they first told me they were a bit unsure of what to do during this engagement shoot, I hardly had to “direct” or “pose” them.  From telling me their stories of how they met, I already knew that our shoot would be a lot of fun, as they have a great sense of humor. They easily find comfort in one another’s presence, which is a reflection of their love for each other, as well as making the job much easier for me!

It was a perfect day to go out shooting (minus all the bugs), and we started off at the church where they first met. After a quick wardrobe change (I like to change shoes between locations), we moved the shoot to a park, as Ramon wanted to serenade his fiancé on the hill, and Karen definitely wanted some shots on the basketball court.

Their wedding is coming up in 2 weeks, and I’m excited to be able to shoot for them!  Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

It’s very fitting that I show these photos as the first of the set. Marnie & Paul are fun-loving people, who love to share laughs at every occasion. This was also the first shot I took of them when we met on-location on a drizzling evening in the Old Port of Montreal.

If you look at the weather for the past two weeks in Montreal, rain has been forecasted 8 days out of 7 (yes, I know that doesn’t make sense). The days that did turn out sunny still had a 60% chance of showers, which made it very difficult to try to plan a day to shoot outdoors.

Luckily for us, last Friday was one of those days which went against the odds, and the first “perfect” day we’ve had in this transition from Spring to Summer.
