Erin & Isaiah | Engagement Session at the hidden gem Schneider's Woods in Kitchener, ON


Every session is unique, and Erin & Isaiah's engagement shoot was nothing short of a fun-filled memory lane. It marked my first time at Schneider's Woods, a place that turned out to be an enchanting hidden gem.


The woods weren't your typical forest; they possessed an aura of mystery and exclusivity. It's the kind of place not many people know about, making it all the more special. The trails meandered through the woods, leading us to several different lookout points that were a photographer's dream. What struck me immediately was the diversity of the landscapes. It wasn't just about trees and foliage; it was about the character each turn in the trail brought to the photos. The different lookout points offered stunning backdrops, each with its unique charm. Reaching the top of the lookouts felt like discovering a secret world. The view from up there was breathtaking, with a sea of trees blending harmoniously with the stunning fall sky. We were fortunate to catch the fall foliage in all its glory, adding vibrant colours to our photographs. But what made this location even more special was Erin's personal connection with it. During the session, she shared a heartwarming detail – Schneider's Woods wasn't just a picturesque spot for her; it held a piece of her childhood. Erin used to go cross-country skiing at this very location, making the engagement session a nostalgic journey for her.


The session was more than just a photoshoot; it was an experience filled with laughter and a sprinkle of craziness. Erin and Isaiah brought their infectious joy to every shot, making my job as a photographer an absolute delight. The couple's genuine connection shone through as we wandered the trails and explored the nooks and crannies of Schneider's Woods. It wasn't just about posing for pictures; it was about capturing the essence of their relationship in a fun way. What I loved most about this session was the spontaneity. I let the woods inspire me, and the result was a collection of candid and posed moments and genuine expressions that tell the story of Erin and Isaiah's story.


As their wedding day approaches this April, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to capture the next chapter of their love story. If the engagement session was any indication, their wedding promises to be filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments.


In the world of photography, each session is a journey, and Erin & Isaiah's engagement session at Schneider's Woods was a chapter that unfolded with surprises, laughter, and the magic that only a hidden gem like this could provide. Erin's connection to this place, with her cross-country skiing memories, added an extra layer of nostalgia and warmth to the entire experience.
