Engagement Session at Camp Mini-Yo-We in Muskoka, ON

Monika + Chris | Engagement Session in Muskoka, ON

Monika + Chris attend our church, Harvest Bible Chapel, in Barrie, ON. However, because we attend first service, and they attend second service, we’ve never crossed paths. Until now.

Monika + Chris met at Camp Mini-Yo-We years ago when he was a camp counselor and she was the nurse on-site. Frequently, Chris would have minor “injuries” and accompany campers to the nurse’s station just to get a glimpse of Monika. Awwwwww, so sweet! So we thought Camp Mini-Yo-We would be the perfect place for their engagement session for this is where their love blossomed.



Camp Mini-Yo-We is a Christian overnight summer camp for youth located in Muskoka, ON. This was our first time visiting the camp, and we were overwhelmed by its beauty. The rich, Fall colours set against this rustic backdrop were unbelievable!





Monika + Chris took us on a tour of the property, including the nurse’s station (where it all began). We were told that the nurse’s station is the oldest building on the campground. We saw the suspension bridge, the rock wall, the ropes course, and the waterfront. We had an amazing time spending the evening with them recounting the days of their courtship.









Then, we headed over to downtown Huntsville, ON where they shared some of their very first dates. (Sidebar: Huntsville TOTALLY reminds us of Alaska, minus the mountains!! So, if you’ve ever want to go to Alaska, but it’s not in your budget, then just go North to Huntsville). We went into The Nutty Chocalatier, the coolest chocolate and candy shoppe we’ve ever seen, nestled in the centre of town. Monika + Chris shared a Coke and, then, walked over to the waterfront to end the session.







We are so thrilled to capture their wedding next May! Thanks Monika + Chris for a wonderful night of memories!
