These engagement photos of Kelsey and Tim were taken at the recently opened-to-the-public Shuh Orchards, a beautiful apple orchard in Montrose Ontario that couldn’t have been more perfect for a fall engagement session. The apples were ripe, the evening light was golden, and their retriever Tucker stole the show in the best possible way! Photographing couples in a relaxed, lovely outdoor location like this is always my favourite – and this session was full of warmth and genuine laughter and connection.

This shoot was especially meaningful for me. Kelsey and I first worked together well over 15 years ago through Gemini Models, back when I was just starting out as a photographer. In 2014, she even completed her co-op placement with me. Getting to photograph her engagement and wedding felt incredibly full circle and very special.

As an wedding and engagement photographer based in Ontario, I love creating natural images that reflect who couples truly are – whether that’s in an apple orchard, a forest trail, or a meaningful location close to home. If you’re looking for engagement and wedding photography in Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, or the surrounding Ontario area, I’d love to help document this season of your life.
