When Mel and Jordan reached out for their engagement photography session in Bowmanville, we started things off with a bit of planning and collaboration. Mel recommended Three Six Kitchen as a potential location, and as soon as I looked into it, I could see why—it was the perfect fit for their engagement session.
The space has a modern, intimate atmosphere with warm lighting, rich textures, and just the right amount of edge—ideal for a stylish and relaxed shoot like this one.

Mel, a product manager in software development, and Jordan, who owns a local painting business, have been together for nearly three years. From the start, they brought a calm confidence and strong connection to their session. Nothing felt posed or forced—their chemistry showed up in every look, every laugh, and every quiet moment they shared.

Before the shoot, we talked through ideas, outfits, and the overall vibe they were hoping to capture. I love being involved in that process—it helps set the tone and ensures the session reflects you. Being based in Whitby, I’m always happy to work closely with couples from Bowmanville, Durham Region, and beyond to tailor a session that feels personal and effortless.

I specialize in engagement photography in Bowmanville, my approach is rooted in storytelling. For this shoot, I was less focused on rigid posing and more interested in capturing those candid, in-between moments—the ones you’ll actually remember. From the clink of cocktail glasses at the bar to candlelit exchanges across the table, Mel and Jordan’s story unfolded naturally.
I gave just enough direction to keep things flowing but left plenty of room for spontaneity. That’s where the magic really happens—genuine smiles, unplanned laughter, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged.
“I had a vision for our engagement photos, and Lou made it all happen effortlessly. He helped me secure the perfect venue, welcomed every idea I brought to the table, and captured both planned shots and spontaneous moments beautifully. His energy made the entire experience stress-free, fun, and even better than I imagined.”
The couple is set to marry on July 5, 2025, but this session already feels like a celebration—one that reflects exactly who they are right now.
Ask Lou about a complimentary or discounted engagement session, offering couples a relaxed way to connect and create lasting memories before the big day.
