S and J Downtown Toronto Engagement Photos at St. James Park

by | Feb 15, 2023 | Engagement session

S and J live downtown, walk downtown, and spend a lot of time there, so of course they did a downtown Toronto engagement session! They met swing dancing and regularly go for walks at St. James Park, so it was a fitting spot for photos. I met S at Balfolk dancing, but we also both Lindy Hop (as does J)!

Two vertical photos side by side. In the photo on the left, the couple is looking at each other.. She is South Asian. He is blonde. In the photo on the left, he is behind her, holding hands with her around the waist and they are looking at each other. She is looking up at him. In the photo on the right, he is still behind her with his arms around her waist. Her hands are on top of his. He is kissing her on the forehead.

There was really nice light on them as it reflected off the buildings.

He is standing behind her in both photos and they are holding hands at her waist. In the photo on the left, he is kissing her neck.

A little romancing.

Two vertical photos side by side of a white man in a suit with an open jacket holding hands at the bottom with a South Asian woman in a blue dress. In the first photo, they are both looking at the camera. He is smiling and she is laughing. In the second photo, he is smiling and looking straight ahead at the camera and she is looking at him. Photos are in front of a flower bed with downtown Toronto stores behind them.

He makes her laugh.

Some spots are pretty ticklish!

South Asian woman and white man. He is wearing a suit, she is wearing a blue dress. Two vertical photos side by side. In the photo on the left, they are hugging each other tightly. She is looking slightly ahead with her eyes closed. His eyes are also closed and he is looking down. In the second photo, they are still hugging, but he is kissing her cheek that is closest to him and we can see her profile.

It was like they forgot I was there!

I love the way the sun is lighting them from behind.

In the second photo, they are both looking at the camera. They have red flowers behind them as well as an out of focus Toronto store.

Downtown Toronto was pretty busy when we were taking these photos, but we managed to wait until there was no passerby.

This couple is hugging, but you can only see from just below the waist to the tops of their noses. A beautiful south Asian woman is in front with her hands crossed over her waist, on top of her fiance's hands. In the photo on the right, two hands are on top of a blue dress and the one on top features a stunning blue engagement ring.

Check out her beautiful blue wedding ring that matches her dress.

Light haired man and South Asian Woman. Her arms are on his shoulders and her hands are clasped at the top. His hands are around her shoulders, as if he is about to lead her into a dance. He is wearing a suit and she is wearing a dark blue dress. There is a tree and out of focus church behind them.

It’s hard to tell from a photo, but they are in a dance pose here!

It’s a real downtown Toronto engagement session when the TTC is involved!

Nothing like a little romance in downtown Toronto!

These two met lindy hopping, so of course we had to incorporate swing dancing into their wedding photos!

Two photos side by site of a couple outside a brick building. There is a door on the building with a black awning that says "The Reservoir Lounge," in white cursive writing. The man is wearing a suit and the woman is wearing a blue dress. They are dancing with each other.

The Reservoir Lounge features swing, jump blues and boogie woogie Wednesday through Saturday. It is also a great place to lindy hop to live music, so we took some photos outside the venue.

The Flatiron building, also known as The Gooderham building was completed in 1892. In spite of the construction that surrounds it, it is one of Toronto’s most iconic buildings.

Thanks again for having me photograph your engagement session! I can’t wait to photograph your wedding in June!
