Real Love Session : in and around the island of Isla Mujeres, Mexico

Today's lifestyle/love session features a couple from Michigan that is a former wedding client of Paul Retherford Wedding Photography. While Paul was in Mexico shooting 2 weddings, this couple {the brides were the cousins of his former client} spent some time together around the island for a love session. Since it was close to their anniversary, you could say it was an anniversary session.

Real Engagement : A Day at the Beach in Canada - vintage style

I love engagement sessions that take place at special locations and make use of the beautiful natural beauty of the surroundings in the area. In this case, the location was St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Lauren and Philip spend a day at the beach for their engagement session and I LOVE the carousel photos.
