This is a gallery of some black and white portraits taken in Rockwood Ontario. It's an elopement-like engagement story. It's a day away from the city and a retreat for a relationship. When two push the pause button and turn away from the world occasionally, they get to know each other better. They enjoy the company better; they listen better; and they come back to a busy life with refreshed love. It takes effort to love and to spend a lifetime together.

“To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.” - Criss Jami, Venus in Arms
