Studio Baron Photo had the pleasure of being the Montreal wedding photographer for the sweetest couple, Billy & Mirella when we did their engagement photography at none other than the amazing Mandy’s Salads Vieux Port. Mirella had seen Mandy’s on Instagram and immediately knew it would make the perfect location for our engagement photo shoot. Everyone at Mandy’s were so wonderful. They let us come in before opening and we had the whole place to ourselves to play and have fun. They even provided us with some cookies for our lovebirds to munch on when I was waxing poetically about how good they are!
This couple are also a little bit Montreal and a little bit Miami, so the venue suited them perfectly with its pops of colour, flamingos, art deco style and of course NEON! They were still tanned from their recent trip down south and I can say for sure that they brought some of the Miami heat and flavour to our Mandy’s Vieux Port Montreal engagement shoot!
I was so happy to be able to include original art from the one and only uber talented Lindsay Sacks with her John F. Kennedy on arylic that is available for purchase at Mandy's Salads Vieux Port.
Mirella had done her own make up for our shoot and I was so blown away with her simple yet glamorous style. I’m still working on convincing her to do her own for their wedding, which will be at the fabulous Milos Restaurant. I’m so excited for that too.
On a personal note, I was having a tough day when I met up with the couple for their shoot. I had just lost my grandmother the day before, but decided to keep our plans because of availability. In the end, it turned out to be the best plan I could have ever made. Billy & Mirella are not only sweet but also so fun, so in love, so charismatic and just wonderful to be around. My spirits were lifted being with them and creating such fantastic images. I couldn’t say thank you enough to those two.
Xoxo, Val
