Cheryl and Felix’s love story began at summer camp, hosted by their church. They started out as volunteers, only acquainted with each other, but became friends down the road. They talked about anything and everything from Hungry Hungry Hippos to the first of Cheryl’s many hypothetical questions! Seems to never be a dull moment between the two! It was until the summer of 2015, Felix took Cheryl out to a rooftop patio at Hemingway’s for lunch, followed by nerdy adverts at the Maker Faire. From there, their friendship grew into a romantic relationship!
Six years later, Felix arranged a “European” road trip through southern Ontario. A list of various cities in the province with European names was given to Cheryl and she had to decide on one to visit. Luckily, she chose Zurich, the town that Felix had planned to propose! The trip started off with “Pisa, Ontario” (the Frankie Tomato in Markham) for the laughs then continued west to Cambridge and Paris, visiting markets, bakeries, sculpture parks and cafes. Next on the list was Zurich. Just making it on time for sunset, Felix brought Cheryl to a secluded beach. There, he proposed and the rest was history! They celebrated in London for dinner, the same restaurant they went to on their first Valentine’s day. We couldn’t be any happier for the couple. We were super excited to take their photos for them considering how sweet their love story is!
There have been many photoshoots we’ve done in fields of flowers but nothing beats the aroma of lavender! On a beautiful sunny evening in July, Cheryl and Felix chose to have their photoshoot done at Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery. Their giggles with each were like music to our ears, only to find out mid way through their session that Cheryl had an amazing voice! Instead of having her sing, we had Felix woo her with his singing. That made this couple smile and giggle all the more. With the warm sun setting behind them, the fragrance of lavender refreshing the air, and laughter throughout the shoot, who wouldn’t have a great time?
It was such an honor and joy to work with Cheryl and Felix! Their love and laughter they shared was contagious which makes us all the more eager for their big day. Thank you for letting us capture a part of your love story!
