View of the Barrie waterfront + hot couple + fireworks = some seriously stellar photo opportunities! When we suggested Canada Day fireworks as the backdrop for Jessica & Neil’s pre-wedding engagement photos they were game, when we suggested that they meet us on a rooftop in downtown Barrie, they were still all for it. We are so lucky to have couples who trust us, and don’t even question our ideas, they just ask “What should we wear?” Jessica and Neil are such an amazing, and fun couple, we can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year. These are by far our best fireworks photos to date, we have been dreaming of the day when someone would let us onto their rooftop for a photo shoot.
We hope you enjoy these images from Jessica and Neil’s pre-wedding engagement session, feel free to leave us a message below we would love your feedback.
Cheers
Erika & Ryan
P.S- we would love to thank our friends at Sorlie Arts for the sweet location hook up, we love you guys!
P.S.S. – We would like to wish all our friends across the border a wonderful Independence Day!
