A Waterfront Engagement with Brittaney & Amaechi
We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: you quite literally cannot go wrong with shooting during sunset at the waterfront
It’s our power combo, our tried and true, it has never, ever, failed us. We always suggest shooting somewhere meaningful to you to give your photos that extra layer of sentimentality but it’s by no means necessary. If you just want some good looking photos of you and your partner together at a beautiful location, let’s do it! And because it’s our favourite setting we’re very likely going to recommend— you guessed it—shooting during sunset at the waterfront. In this case though this lakefront park is actually holds meaning to Brittaney & Amaechi so it was of the best of both worlds.
Shooting engagement sessions doesn’t always mean we are going to also be shooting someone’s wedding, whether they have another photographer, are not yet wedding planning, or whatever their reason. When that’s the case we really use this shoot as an opportunity to get to know the couple we’re working with to make photos that are true to them and their relationship. Brittaney & Amaechi are so personable and friendly it really felt easy and natural to spend the evening with them. And when the vibe is right, when everyone feels at ease, it makes the whole photo experience much more fun! Bringing their dog Yiayia is also a bonus too ;)

Brittaney & Amaechi left one of the most wonderful, thorough, and so incredibly appreciated, review for us following our shoot— read more below:
My fiancé and I recently had the pleasure of working with Rosewood Studios for our engagement photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, our experience with them was nothing short of outstanding.
One of the standout features of our experience was Rosewood's flexibility with scheduling. They were incredibly accommodating and worked with us to find the perfect date that would optimize the weather conditions for our outdoor shoot. This level of attention to detail really set them apart.
As a couple who doesn't consider ourselves "photo-people," we were initially nervous about the prospect of looking awkward in our pictures. However, Stef, our photographer, immediately put us at ease. Her warm and friendly demeanor helped us relax, and she encouraged us to have fun throughout the session. The result? Natural, genuine moments captured beautifully on film.
The professionalism and dedication exhibited by Hannah and Stef were truly commendable. They were consistently prompt in their responses to emails and messages, and were always available to address any questions or concerns we had. It was evident that they genuinely cared about making our experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
What truly set Rosewood Studios apart was their commitment to getting to know us as a couple. They took the time to understand our personalities, preferences, and the unique dynamic between us. This personal touch allowed our true selves to shine through in the photos, resulting in a collection of images that felt authentic and representative of who we are as a couple.
Overall, our experience with Rosewood Studios exceeded our expectations in every way. From their flexibility with scheduling, to their ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera, to their genuine dedication to their clients, we couldn't have asked for a better team to capture this special moment in our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Rosewood Studios to anyone seeking exceptional photography services.
