Engagement photography in Quebec City

Jordan surprised his girlfriend Sam as they were visiting Quebec City. She was his girlfriend, she was now his fiance. The next day, we were out in the Old Quebec for the photo shoot. Mother nature was on our side. It was still cold, but we were able to take the coats off for the photos. Engagement photography in the winter? Of course!

– C’est ici, en arrière de cette colonne, qu’Aymen Derbali s’est protégé tout en attirant l’attention du tueur. Il a reçu ses 7 balles ici, puis c’est écroulé juste là.

– Ici, nous avons dû remplacer le carré du tapis. Il y a avais trop de sang, nous n’avons pas pu le laver.

– C’est ici que les gens se sont réfugiés pour se cacher. Ils se sont couché par terre mais il y avait trop de monde. Celui sur le dessus a été touché

Marcher avec Mohamed Labidi dans le centre culturel islamique de Québec, c’est revivre avec précision ce qui s’est passé en janvier dernier… L’article du Globe and Mail pour lequel ont été effectuées ces photos est en ligne: Lingering wounds and fears for the future.

L’Artiste Dan Twitchell m’a approché pour utiliser une des mes photos en peinture. Le résultat est spectaculaire. C’est la seconde fois qu’une de mes photos de Jerry Hunter est utilisé, et la 3e qu’une photo d’un Pow Wow de Wendake l’est.

Jerry Hunter, a native of Lac-Simon indian Reservation and wearing Algonquin traditional dresses and paint, takes part into the dance contest of Wendake Pow-Wow July 31, 2010. The Algonquins (also spelled Algonkins) are aboriginal/First Nations inhabitants of North America who speak the Algonquin language, a divergent dialect of the Ojibwe language, which is part of the Algonquian language family.

Old Quebec City. Is there a better place for engagement photography than “Le Vieux-Québec”, as it is known locally? Whenever you go, wherever you look, there are amazing backdrops waiting for you to create great photographs. 

Old brick walls, cobblestone streets, old buildings and there are huge trees in amazing parks. It’s also the only walled city north of Mexico. All of these factors might make Quebec City the best place in North America for engagement photography.

This is why this nice couple contacted me recently. They were visiting Quebec City and the gentlemen decided it would be the best place to ask her to marry him.

We regrouped at the Parc des Gouverneurs near the Château Frontenac to get some funny photos as they threw leaves in the air and at each other. We then took a short, two minute walk to the Plains of Abraham to get the classic photo with the Château Frontenac hotel in the background. 

After a quick stop in Montmorency Park, we headed straight for the city walls for the cherry on the cake: the photo on top of the wall and the gate. We finished the day with a blast.
