Have you every heard of the benefits of sungazing. In early summer mornings, one of our favourite pastimes is to wake up before sunrise, rush to our local West Rouge beach and catch the magnificence of the sun rising over the water.
"On cold nights my friends huddle for warmth
as they watch in awe
and catch glimpes of the sun
hiding in my mouth
when I smile and tell stories of
YOU"
What is often remarkable on these harmonious mornings is seeing the many animal species also pause and turn to look in the direction of the sun in the precious moments it rises. This is a testament that animals are beautiful beings, capable of standing in solitude to take in the sacredness of the sun and it further underscores our passion and commitment to preserving and capturing the beauty and grace of nature.
One such beautiful morning, destressed and filled with the sun's glowing energy, we were awestricken with the idea of filling a canoe with romantic florals, and setting it afloat on the river, at sunset.
And like many creative visions we have, this picturesque idea became an obsession we had to breathe life into. So what do you do when you need a canoe and don't have one? You turn to your wonderful adventurous neighbors of course!
The Dress
We knew that to make this shoot truly magical, aside from a well-used canoe, we needed the perfect team. Bahar's elegant beauty was the perfect fit for our romantic shoot. Bahar donned a flowy dress rented from Fritzoy Rental, a company that champions sustainability by offering women the opportunity to rent beautiful dresses and reduce their fashion footprint. This added a meaningful layer to our project, aligning perfectly with our valuess.
The Day
The day of the shoot was nothing short of perfection. The sun rose over West Rouge Beach, casting a golden glow on the water and illuminating our scene with natural light. Even the swans showed up, adding an extra touch of grace and elegance to the setting. A team of professionals came together to ensure every detail was perfect. Adrienne and Nini worked their magic with hair and makeup, while our talented photographer. Jess captured every moment with precision and artistry.
Our faux florals played a starring role, transforming the yellow canoe into a floating garden. The vibrant colors and lifelike petals created a romantic atmosphere, bringing our concept to life in a breathtaking way.
The Result
The result was a series of stunning photographs captured by our talented friend, Jessie at Eye Do Studios, that tell a story of romance, beauty, and creativity. The combination of the picturesque location, the charming canoe, the flowy dress, and our exquisite faux florals created a scene that was nothing short of magical
