Prompts rather than poses, so the pictures look like the two of you — not a pose you were put in.

For you
You want portraits worth putting on the save-the-dates and the wall.
You want images that catch the way you look at each other, not the way you pose.
You want to mark the engagement with portraits as real as the relationship.
You’d like a relaxed hour where you can just be yourselves.
You think love — messy, joyful, imperfect — deserves to be remembered properly.

Vithu photographs every engagement session and will guide you the whole way — where to stand, where to look, what to do with your hands.
Most couples arrive nervous and forget the camera is there within ten minutes.
Resident artistMint Room Studios
An engagement session is not really about getting one perfect shot. It is about slowing down, being present with each other, and letting the excitement of this stage come through on its own. Whether we are walking through a sunlit park or set up in a studio, the session follows your story rather than a mood board.
If you go on to book your wedding with us, this session is also the easiest possible rehearsal: by the wedding day we already know how you two move around each other.
Where we shoot
If there is somewhere that means something to you — where you met, where you proposed — that almost always beats a pretty park.
Basic Engagement Session · $325Best in Spring & Fall
Lush greenery, cherry blossom for about two weeks in late April, and golden light through mature trees. A Toronto classic in every season.
Summer & Early Fall
Clifftop views over Lake Ontario with a wide open horizon. Cinematic at golden hour, and worth the walk down to the beach.
Year-Round
Cobblestone, exposed brick and Victorian ironwork. The right choice if you would rather have the city in frame than a park.

Toronto changes completely with the seasons, which means the same city gives you four different sessions. High Park in blossom, the Bluffs at golden hour, the Distillery District in winter light. We’ll pick the backdrop that suits you.

Controlled light, no weather to plan around, and a more intimate feel. Bright and minimal at Mint Room Studios, or warmer and more characterful at Preto Loft. Good for winter, and good if you would rather not be photographed in public.

“He made us feel comfortable right away, and his attention to detail truly shows in the final images. We were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out and how quickly they were delivered.”
“This is our second time booking Saakshi Photography and we plan to continue to do so! We loved how creative Vithu got with our maternity photos. The photos turned out amazing! He works with you the whole time and is so fun to work with. Amazing quality and fast turnaround as well!”
“The quality of your work is exceptional, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and we look forward to taking future family photos with you. We are beyond grateful for the work you have done!”
Planning guide
Stuck? Send us two or three options and we’ll tell you which to wear.
Complementary colours and textures rather than identical outfits. Soft neutrals photograph beautifully, though one bold tone between you adds personality.
Flowing fabrics move beautifully outdoors; sleeker, more fitted looks suit a studio. Think about the backdrop before the wardrobe.
One outfit change adds real variety to the gallery. Casual and dressy, or daytime and evening, is the easiest pairing.
A piece of jewellery that means something, a good coat, a hat you actually wear. Personal beats new.
Dress for your setting
Pick your setting and we’ll tell you what works there. Bring two or three options and we’ll help you choose.
Mint Room
White walls: let colour carry the portrait.
Most Mint Room rooms are white, cream or pale, so pure white and very pale tints fade into the walls. Tap your room for colours that stand out in it, or use these in any of them. Not sure which room? Ask us.
Wear
Skip
Love an all-white look? Add one deeper layer, like a denim jacket or a camel coat, so you both still read.
Preto Loft
Bright, grey and brick: bring the warmth.
Preto Loft is a New York-style loft with tall factory windows, exposed brick and a lot of light. Tap your room for colours that stand out in it, or use these in any of them. Not sure which room? Ask us.

Once your date is confirmed we settle location, timing and style, and send a styling guide so the outfits are sorted well before the day.
03
Relaxed and guided the whole way. We give prompts rather than poses, then wait for the moment just after — that is usually the one worth keeping.

Within one week your private online gallery arrives, ready to download, share and print.
FAQ
Your fully edited gallery is delivered within one week of your session (within three weeks for the two-hour Complete session), through a private online gallery where you can download, share and order prints.
Not remotely, and almost everyone says it. We give prompts rather than poses — small things to do rather than expressions to hold — so you end up interacting with each other instead of performing for the lens. Ten minutes in, most couples have forgotten the camera.
Vithu photographs every engagement session. If you go on to book your wedding with us, both Vithu and Gaya shoot the wedding day — included on every collection.
The Basic outdoor session runs 45 minutes; studio sessions run 60 minutes (Popular) or 120 minutes (Complete). That is enough time for a good variety of frames, and both studio sessions include two outfit changes.
Up to 15 edited photos with the Basic session, up to 20 with the Popular session and up to 50 with the Complete session. Every image is individually edited and delivered in your private online gallery.
Yes. Outdoor sessions run across Toronto and the GTA; studio sessions run at Mint Room Studios and Preto Loft. Studio is the better call in deep winter, or if you would rather not be photographed in public.
We’ll talk it through. Popular outdoor spots are High Park, the Scarborough Bluffs and the Distillery District. If there is somewhere that means something to you — where you met, where you proposed — that almost always beats a pretty park.
Coordinate rather than match. Pick a palette of two or three shades and dress inside it. Soft neutrals photograph beautifully; one bolder tone between you adds personality. A styling guide follows your booking, and you can always send us two or three options and we’ll tell you which to wear.
Each season gives you something different. Spring brings blossom, summer gives long golden evenings, fall is the most requested for colour, and winter can be quietly beautiful, especially in studio. We’ll match it to the look you want.
We watch the forecast and will be in touch in advance. Light overcast is genuinely good light so most grey days go ahead; for heavy rain we reschedule at no cost, or move indoors to a studio.
A planning conversation beforehand, the session itself, professional editing, and a private online gallery of high-resolution images you can download, share and print. We’ll help you settle location and wardrobe before the day.
