The Dorchester Hotel Engagement Session

by Marie | Jun 22, 2023 | Couples, Engagements

Get engaged with Marie scholz photography at the cutest hotel in Collingwood, The Dorchester Hotel!

Madi and Byron came to me through a referral and left it to me to plan their engagement session. I couldn’t resist recommending the Dorchester Hotel in Collingwood, Ontario so that’s what we did. Colingwood is the best spot for engagement sessions because there’s urban vibes, beach vibes and mountain vibes all within a 20 min drive. The Dorchester Hotel is a newly renovated apartment building into a modern and moody boutique luxury hotel spot. It’s a hotel to consider for your wedding, if no tthe whole thing then definitely should be considered for the accommodations alone. Be sure to reach out to me, Marie Scholz to book your engagement session at the Dorchester or ask me for other suggestions.

Wasaga Beach Family Session // Chelsea + Parm

by Marie | Jul 15, 2020 | Family

This beach inspired family photo session was the REALEST and I think the results speak for themselves. Families are always the hardest to photograph for me especially when I have to get the attention of TWO little ones. But when Chelsea contacted me about having them done my heart did little flip flops because Chelsea + Parm are the parents I aspire to be. They’re attentive + kind + willing to go with the flow + down to earth + honestly just cool. Those are my type of people!! This session came with its challenges. We cancelled once because Norah threw up all over her dress in the car on her way. Shoutout to my lactose intolerant friends! It was rescheduled to EASILY the hottest day of the year so we all just about melted during it with promises of popsicles to keep everyone enthusiastic for 45 min.

Like I said in my last post, NOTHING about family sessions are predicatable but that also makes them the most real and that realness is what I’m so excited to share with my families everytime.

Northwinds Beach Family Session // Britt + Iain

by Marie | Jul 13, 2020 | Couples, Family

Sheesh! This sessions gives me all the feels. I never really thought I’d enjoy working with families because of the fact that I was intimidated by kids having none of my own (yet!) but the more I accept family sessions the more soft my heart gets. Family sessions are COMPLETELY unpredictable and I think they can be intimidating for mom + dad more than me. The easiest way to feel comfortable in front of the camera is to go into your family session with NO EXPECTATIONS. I promise you, I have seen it all: tantrums, grumpy faces, throw up, poopy diapers and now I always prepare for anything. I will NEVER put expectations on to you about the way your session SHOULD go. These photos are the way they are because I trusted Britt + Iain to take direction and interact with Bentley and they trusted me to do what I do best. I was completely hands off for this entire session and you can see in Bentley’s eyes just how stoked he was about it.

Britt + Iain, I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to shoot with.

Wasaga Beach Fall Family Session

by Marie | Oct 22, 2019 | Family

Wasaga Beach in the fall is pretty much drop dead gorgeous. It’s my favourite time to photograph and it’s also the best time to get your Christmas Card photos done.

The Murray’s agreed to come out to the sand dunes in Wasaga Beach to get their photos taken and we got so many more stunning shots than anticipated. A 1 hour session included a short 5 min walk to the location and lots of playing in the sand. I appreciated how this family of six was so down to earth and willing to walk, run, jump, throw and explore all over this hidden location.

I’m so glad I got to spend an evening with you guys! The love and laugh you have with each other was hard not to capture. I hope to see you all again soon. xo
