I’m not sure what’s in the water but lately the photographers my brides have selected are KILLING IT!

Karen scheduled her bridal trial on the same day as her engagement shoot.  I definitely always suggest this to the bride as you can see how the makeup translates through your photographer’s lens and we can make any adjustments on the wedding day to ensure you look picture perfect!  And within 2 days, Raph Nogal posted up these stunning images of Karen + Alex!

Not gonna lie, I was a bit nervous going into this trial because Karen is Monica from MonStyleFile‘s best friend!  There’s a lot of pressure as I didn’t want to disappointment.

Lucky for me, Karen loved her airbrushed skin, false lashes, and neutral smokey eyes.

Without further ado, here is the masterpiece that is Raph’s work!  Honestly, I’ve never seen photos like these before.  I couldn’t hardly recognize that it was the financial district in Toronto.  I’m amazed and can’t wait to work with Raph again in August!
