My boyfriend & I had photos done by Chris and he made it so easy and comfortable for us, we had never had photos taken before so we were both definitely nervous but that went away almost instantly with how calm, friendly, and professional Chris is. We came out of the experience with photos we will cherish forever, they’re so so beautiful & unique. we were both so happy with the whole experience and results & we will 1000% return for all of our future photography needs. Thank you Chris! :)

Chris is an absolutely fantastic photographer! He captured both our engagement and wedding, and the results far exceeded our expectations.

What sets Chris apart is his ability to go above and beyond in every way. He doesn’t just take photos—he captures emotions and tells a story through his lens. His mastery of in-camera effects created some of the most breathtaking and unique images we’ve ever seen. Nothing could have prepared us for how incredible the final photos would be!

Working with Chris was an absolute joy. He’s not only incredibly talented but also friendly, warm, and genuinely invested in making every moment special. By the end of the process, Chris wasn’t just my wedding photographer—he was my friend. His attention to detail is

Chris is more than just a photographer – he’s an artist. His attention to detail and ability to capture the most intimate, candid moments left us speechless. Whether it was a quiet moment between us during our vows, a joyful laugh shared with our friends, or the perfect light during our first dance, Chris seemed to always be in the right place at the right time, capturing those fleeting moments that we’ll cherish forever. We were amazed at how he made every shot feel so natural and effortless, yet incredibly beautiful.

Chris is an awesome photographer and human being. We had our family photos with him in the Fall of 2024. He was very accommodating with schedules and was great at handling our family of 2 rambunctious golden retrievers and a 2 year old. Needless to say, the photos turned out amazing and we would definitely have him capture future events and family photos again!

I love couples that are willing to have fun and try interesting things. Within the first 10 minutes of my session with Shannon &amp; Fred, I knew it was going to be a fun evening. Shannon &amp; Fred are getting married in December, so late spring was really great timing for an engagement shoot. It meant that we could have a totally different vibe from their wedding photos, and we definitely had a vibe going here.
&nbsp;
The inspiration: Waterloo Date Night
We met at Waterloo Park and snapped a few photos to get the jitters out. After we got the &ldquo;Grandma Shots&rdquo;, basically the photos that Grandma would like to see (I am pretty sure I lifted this term from Liam Good, but I can&rsquo;t remember), we dove into some more creative ideas. I had an idea a little while back for a particular area in the park, which I test-shot with my lovely partner, and I took Shannon &amp; Fred there to see what we could create.

We kept moving through the park, dodging a few cyclists and strollers as we took over the bridge and then tried out some more interesting shots near the water. The sun was still pretty high so we had to just lean in and play with some of the harsh shadows and vibrant colours, and I&rsquo;m so glad we did.

After the park we strolled down to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/Bodega.Rose/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bodega Rose</a> for cocktails. If you haven&rsquo;t been to Bodgea Rose yet, run, don&rsquo;t walk. It&rsquo;s such a great little uptown spot with super good food, cocktails and vibes. Also Ice Cream, so like&hellip; go for it!
We snapped a whole ton of photos here at Bodega Rose and took some time to just chat and get to know each other better. This is one of the best parts of engagement sessions. Shannon &amp; Fred are such interesting, kind and fun people and having the chance to just sit down and connect before the wedding is SO important. After Bodega we were pretty much legally obligated to take photos at the Orange Wall and finished off the night in Waterloo Square. I might be biased, but it seemed like a pretty good date.

So that&rsquo;s it! Waterloo Date Night Engagement Shoot. If you want to chat about your engagement photos, you can shoot me an email <a href="https://www.christellezphoto.com/contact">here</a> and you can find out more about pricing <a href="https://www.christellezphoto.com/pricing">here</a>. And just in case you&rsquo;re wondering, engagement shoots are ALWAYS included in my wedding packages&hellip; because this is too fun not to do.

You take photos for the same reason I do: because you want to remember the most important moments of your life. And when it comes to a day as special and once-in-a-lifetime as your wedding, those photos are everything.

I want you to look back on your wedding day with joy, gratitude, and a smile. I want you to laugh at the crazy moments, tear up at the beautiful ones, and love the heck out of every photo. I’m here to make sure you have those memories to cherish forever.
