Zach and Kim moved to Guelph on the same day I did, and when I suggested we start their downtown guelph engagement photography at their new house I was so surprised that I didn’t have to drive! We are practically neighbors, and though I did end up driving (I wasn’t sure about the rain!) I could have taken a nice leisurely stroll.

Ever since the last workshop I took, I’ve been all about scoping out locations before hand. So when Zach and Kim gave me free range around Guelph I basically already had a map in my head of where I wanted to shoot. (Though I wouldn’t go as far as the exact shots I wanted to get I had an idea.) We walked around the river, stopped for ice cream, used the exposed brick around the red brick coffee shop and ended at up at The Cornerstone my favourite vegetarian restaurant in Guelph.

Zach and Kim are great together, they are laid back and fun and I can’t wait for their wedding this August. During dinner we talked about how much we love cottage country and northern Ontario. All three of us have spent summers up in Georgian Bay and we agreed Guelph is a good medium between the nature you get up there and the city living. It is nice to be able to walk to the grocery store, and have neighbours, but it is also great to be out enjoying the outdoors.

So enough rambling, I hope you enjoy a short selection of Zach and Kim’s guelph engagement photography.

And I’ll finish with one of my favourites from the night taken on the patio of the Red Brick Cafe! It didn’t quite fit with the green colours above, but I still wanted to include it in this blog post.
