Last summer I met with Callie and Evan at Mill of Kintail in Mississippi Mills, Ontario for their engagement photos. I knew that it was going to be a fun shoot just based on our correspondence but the experience far surpassed my expectations. The location was great but Callie and Evan are so fun … Read More
I met up with Isabelle and Phil in Wakefield last July. To reflect their outdoor life-style, we chose to drop their canoe into the Gatineau River by the Wakefield Bridge. What you see here are a few of my favourite photos from the shoot. I’ll post their wedding in the weeks to come.
This isn’t the first time that I have photographed Jessica & Alex and I’m pretty sure that it won’t be the last. By this time next year they will be married and starting the next phase of their lives! Earlier this week we took an early morning drive into the Gatineau Park for their … Read More
For Amber and Mike’s engagement session we decided to venture off in to Gatineau Park and head to the Carbide Wilson ruins! Mike proposed to Amber while they were taking one of their many hikes together. What better location could we have chosen for their engagent session, right?! These two were so easy going … Read More

I met with Trista & Mason just a couple of days ago for their ByWard Market engagement session. Their wedding is in two days so we had no choice but to risk a rainy day and photograph no matter what! From what I could tell there was one two hour window during the entire … Read More
Last Tuesday I met with Lisa and Matt near the John Ceprano Rock Sculptures for their engagement shoot. To be honest, I was a little nervous since this was my first solo shoot through photoVanBeek Studio and I had never shot in this location before. I think it’s safe to say that the shoot went really … Read More
Last week I was contacted by Shaun with an idea to surprise his girlfriend (term no longer applicable) Amy with some surprise proposal photography. Actually the real surprise was the proposal but the photography part was a nice touch 🙂 The plan started at a coffee shop where Shaun and Amy had a snack … Read More
