This past Saturday, my wife and I had the privilege of photographing a couple of friends…literally speaking they ARE a couple…and two of our best friends. But that’s not all! They are also the parents of a new baby girl named Sofia. By the way, if you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might have noticed that I had photographed Basem’s birthday in the past.

I wanted to expand my portraits portfolio with couples, so I asked Basem three days prior to the shoot if he wanted a few photographs for him and his girlfriend, Catherine, and he immediately accepted. That’s what I call a really cool client…and friend!

So on a beautiful Saturday morning, we all went to Mount-Royal park in Montreal for about an hour to photograph this fine looking couple in one of the most captivating places in the city during the autumn. Here’s the result of what that day brought forth for us all.

For this shoot, I brought along my Nikon D700, a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G and a Nikon 85mm f/1.4D. The lighting was controlled with a Nikon SB-900 speedlight in a Lastolite Ezybox softbox (24”x24”) and triggered with PocketWizard Plus II transceivers.
