Mackenzie King Estate Engagement Photos

Last week I met with this awesome couple to shoot their Mackenzie King Estate engagement photos.  We had to originally reschedule due to a thunderstorm.  Then on this particular evening, it did rain halfway through their session, but then it stopped and we continued on.  Mackenzie King Estate made a gorgeous backdrop for the engagement photos.  However, there were a tonne of nats everywhere.  Like, as in a cloud of them hovering over our heads at all times where we were at the ruins.  I would have to count to three so that they could swat the nats until I said three, then they’d pose properly for the photos.  It was pure madness with those pests everywhere.

Mackenzie King Estate is such a pretty spot for photos.  Located in the heart of Gatineau Park, it has such pretty scenery.  And then the old ruins make it that much more spectacular.  I don’t come up to Gatineau Park that often, but when I do it’s always so pretty.  That reminds me that I should go there more often.

These two totally rocked their session.  Not only did they deal with the bug infestation with humour, but they looked great in their shots too.  I got so many fabulous shots of them, it was actually hard to narrow them down.  I look forward to shooting their wedding at Stonefields this September.  Yay for a Stonefields wedding!  And I also have to mention that Bailey had her makeup professionally done by a makeup artist.  That’s the way to go to look your best for engagement photos (or any other portrait session).  She looked amazing.  Robert cleaned up well too.  Like I said, they rocked their session.

Update:  You can check out their Stonefields Wedding Photos.
