I’m beyond obsessed with Kendra and Mike’s engagement at the Lakeshore in Oakville!

It was a beautiful summer day and we had the perfect weather for our golden hour session. The light was so dreamy! From the moment we took a stroll through the park until we ended up by the beach and the lighthouse, it was just straight-up magical.

The sun peeking through the trees added some texture to the photos taken at the park. Kendra and Mike brought along their adorable pupper to get in on a few photos and we even captured him in a very cute portrait with the sunrays in the background while looking up at mom and dad.

I also love that Kendra and Mike prepared 2 outfits for the session – a more casual outfit and a dressed-up look. Having two outfits for your engagement gives you variety.

For the earlier part of the session, they both wore a simple laid-back outfit with denim jeans. It was easy to move around, which worked well because we got some playful and fun photos. At one point, they were just dancing around and that made it so easy to capture them at their most natural!

For the second part of our session, they wore a dressier look. Kendra had on a dress this time while Mike wore a shirt and pants. It was all a perfect combination – their outfits, the lighthouse, a rocky shore and the overcast sky! I’m also obsessed with the beach and always get so excited to shoot by the water so there’s that.

I cannot wait for their wedding next June!

This Oakville engagement was one for the books. So much inspiration here if you’re looking for a summery casual and romantic engagement session. Check out my engagement gallery for more!
