Melissa & Jonny Love Story - The Leaf

Melissa and Jonny’s Engagement Session at The Leaf: A Love Story in Winnipeg

Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park is home to The Leaf, a new venue that has quickly become a popular spot for engagement sessions. We recently had the opportunity to photograph Melissa and Jonny’s engagement session there, and it was a great experience.

As their longtime photographers, we’ve captured many moments for Melissa and Jonny, including their annual Christmas card photos. But this engagement session was different—it felt like a meaningful step as they prepare for their wedding.

The Leaf provided a beautiful backdrop for their session. Its greenery and natural light created a calm and inviting atmosphere. We captured a variety of photos that reflected both the couple’s connection and their playful personalities.

To add a unique touch to the photos, we used tools like mirrors and prisms, playing with reflections and light. This approach helped bring out Melissa and Jonny’s fun side while also highlighting the bond they share. Whether they were laughing together or sharing a quiet moment, each photo felt authentic to who they are as a couple.

With their spring wedding coming up, this session at The Leaf was a chance to capture a special time in their lives. We’re grateful to have been part of it and to witness their journey together.

Winnipeg offers many great locations for engagement sessions, and The Leaf is one of them. It’s a place where couples like Melissa and Jonny can be themselves, surrounded by nature. As photographers, we appreciate finding spots that bring out the best in our clients, and The Leaf does just that.

We’re looking forward to continuing to capture Melissa and Jonny’s story and seeing what’s next for them.
