Marlee & Chris

Where do I even begin with these two?!?! I could potentially just put a hundred heart eyes emojis but I’ll put a little more effort into it 😉

I originally met Chris while shooting a wedding last fall. Chris is one half of the amazing talent behind Peaking Zebra (if you are in need of a videographer, make sure to add them to your list!). During the reception dinner, we chatted a bit about his upcoming wedding and when he mentioned that he didn’t yet have a photographer – I was stunned!
Not long after that, I received an email from his fiancé, Marlee, that they were interested in booking me! I hadn’t met her yet but with Chris being a Colin Farrell look alike (with a British accent no less), I was smitten about these two and their wedding day already!

We all met one evening in April for their engagement shoot which took place in Almonte. Just when I thought Chris was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, Marlee came along with that radiant energy and we were quick friends! The session took off at a gorgeous loft style apartment and proceeded to head out when the sun started setting. These two are what dreams are made of. When I’m around them I feel complete happiness, it’s almost as if there is an aura that surrounds them and you can’t help but smile the entire time they are around. If this is what the engagement shoot was like, I can only imagine (and very much look forward to) their big day coming up in a little less than month!
