farewell, fall

With its vibrant colours and pumpkin lattes, saying goodbye to fall is never easy. However, maybe the Ottawa winter will be kind to us this year. Wishful thinking?

For us though, December spells exams. So amidst all the studying we’ve been doing, we decided to step out for the day and take a break from the books. It was nice to just enjoy each other’s company, as we haven’t done so in a while. No surprise though, our camera came along as the third wheel.

Our spontaneous walk led us to the Courtyard, a quaint, cobblestoned area in The Market. The vintage feel of her fine lace top, paired with his maroon tie made it seem like the perfect location to stop. With our bodies all warmed up after downing some delicious peppermint hot chocolate from Planet Coffee, it was time for the real fun to begin. Though it was brisk out, his tweed blazer kept him relatively warm, and she was pretty cozy in her faux fur. Nonetheless, it was such a great feeling to be out shooting again. Something we didn’t anticipate was that our activity would stir such a commotion. Passers-by stopped to watch, and every so often we’d see onlookers from nearby restaurants trying to catch glimpses of what we were up to.

After a few hours of laughter and letting our creative juices flow, it was time to hit the books again and get back to reality. For those of you still writing exams, best of luck to you—the end is in sight!
