I haven’t shot an engagement session in the Distillery District for some time so I was quite pleased to see the construction there all finished. I was lest pleased to see some of the “staple” features we used in our engagements gone, however. It did not matter much for Anka and Silviu though. They came all the way from Stoney Creek and they never visited this part of Toronto so, for them, The District was all new and a pleasant surprise.
We took our time walking around, see what’s changed and shooting at a cool, leisurely, casual pace. We had a bit of fun then we went in for a late breakfast.
Here’s some of the shots. Enjoy!

The Distillery District in Toronto is one of our favourite places to go for an engagement session. It’s got an undeniable old charm and plenty of nooks and crannies to find and use. After a pretty long and wet winter and a questionable spring we could finally go out for some fun with Sorina and Bogdan… Too bad we did not bring any yoga mats, the center of the district was filled with people enjoying free hourly yoga sessions under the welcoming, warm Sun. We dodged all the Sun salutations, Warriors and Downward Dogs and got ourselves busy with the task at hand. It was a good day!
Here are a few samples images from the session. Enjoy!

The Distillery District is one of our favorite spots for engagement sessions and as it turns out it was Natalia and Erik’s choice as well… They like it here even though being so busy lately they were surprised by all the changes the area has gone through in the last year or so. We were there early enough to get some nice morning light and avoid most of the tourist crowds. It was a perfect setting to relax, enjoy their company and shoot a couple of photos at an unhurried, deliberate pace.
We’re really looking forward to their wedding next month. You’ll see, it will be a really nice one 🙂

It was fun planning this photo session with Codrina and Liviu. They wanted a bit of everything. A bit of the financial district, with perhaps a church, a park and (time permitting) a fountain night shot if at all possible. All with a pinch of Distillery. That sounds like a lot but we knew it’s was also going to be a lot of fun executing it as well.
Toronto is a great city to try and pull all of that. Within the Downtown’s core there are nice green spaces, old churches and new buildings, plenty of opportunity for street shooting and characters like this guy who was playing an instrument made out of a converted cigar box, with 3 strings which reminded me of Seasick Steve and his old arsenal of odd looking guitars. He was incredibly nice and allowed us to shoot a few frames while he was doing a bit of a blues solo. He was quite good actually.
Liviu mentioned he was a bit camera shy and indeed he was … for a few seconds… then he could not stop smiling for the whole duration of the engagement. It was a very pleasant evening of shooting down to the gorgeous warm sundown light.
Here is a snippet, enjoy!

It has been a while since we had an engagement photo shoot in the Distillery District and, on this particular morning the place was absolutely packed. Arriving a bit early, Sandra and I quickly scouted the place for all the changes that happened since last time – a year is a very long time in a busy city like Toronto. Remember the nice CN Tower skyline shot from The Esplanade and featured here ? Gone ! Condos are going up like mushrooms in the Downtown Lakeshore core and construction cranes are poking up the sky in the most unexpected spots. Soon, tall buildings will take their place, forever altering the clean skyline backdrop we enjoyed from the Parliament Park.
It’s always fun shooting in the Distillery. There’s always a nice corner one can relax, enjoy the company of others, photography or not, and this day was no different. The following pictures try to convey that feeling…
Enjoy!

Here we go again, shooting an engagement in the Distillery District. It was pretty windy and cold but that did not deter K and M one bit. We braved the weather and had quite a bit of fun there. Really looking forward to shooting their two day wedding later this summer :-).

I guess you can say we like the backdrop offered by the Distillery District as we find ourselves there for Engagement Photography quite often. Natasha and Keith’s session was a bit later in the afternoon so we had a bit of fun at the end with the natural shadows.
