We began the photo shoot with a lovely walk around the always dynamic grounds of Queenston Heights, which was followed by a quick stop at Kurtz Orchards, and then ended the fantastic shoot along the beautiful Niagara Parkway, adjacent to the Historic McFarland House. We were also joined by the couple’s wedding DJ and my great friend Blake Belcher, who did a fabulous job being my assistant with the photo-lighting!

Big Thanks and Congratulations to Shannon & Scott – we’re looking forward to your very Special Day in August!

Here are the awesome highlights from the Engagement Shoot:

The spring colours were absolutely fabulous and we all had a great time capturing some truly timeless moments of the soon-to-be married couple’s love – Lisa and Brad are to be married this October, and we’re really looking forward to being there to photograph their very Special Day!

Big thanks go out to Lisa and Brad for an awesome shoot – thank you as well to Queenston Heights for always making any of our shoots wonderful, and a big thank you to the Chestnut Inn Bed & Breakfast in Niagara Falls for letting us use their very lovely grounds and gazebo.

Here are the highlights:

The event took place at the Royal Canadian Legion in Hamilton – and did we ever party it up!

The show featured Canada’s Entertainment Specialist: Blake Belcher – who put on a DJ-Freestyle Entertainment Party unlike any other…and everyone that attended had a fun evening of Inspiration, Innovation, Imagination, and Impersonation!

We had an absolute blast, and we look forward to doing more great work with BY REQUEST soon – be sure to watch for DJ Blake with By Request Entertainment!! Throughout our  years of working with many DJs in the industry – none have ever been as dynamic, as professional, and as down-to-earth & friendly, as Blake Belcher. We would recommend Blake for anyone requiring DJ/Entertainment services for their wedding or event. We are  proud to call him a close colleague,  a wonderful friend, and a true strong alliance in business.

Here are the awesome highlights!!

It was fantastic to have met Ewalina within the first week of her being born, and the photo shoot was great fun!  We had previously photographed the Wedding of our friends Tanya and Steve, as well as their Maternity Photo Shoot – so it was extra-special to be there to capture the magic of Ewalina’s “First Photo Shoot”!

Here are some of the amazing moments from the shoot:

The couple had invited us to their lovely home, and we found it to be a really fun setting for their maternity photo shoot.  The shoot wouldn’t have been complete without the collection of wide-eyed owls, the fresh sour dough bread from the market, the incredible homemade guacamole dip,  and of course the ultra-memorable fun love between Tanya & Steve as they prepare for the soon-arrival of their baby….and the shoot became that much more amazing when Steve brought out the Banjo and the Mandolin for a little duet!

A big congratulations to our fantastic friends, and a big thank you for having us capture the beginnings to their beautiful new family.
