It’s the summer and what that means for photographers is that it is the busiest time of the year.  So typically every weekend is booked for Leon and I; however, this weekend was a little different.   We had a wedding booked for Saturday but due to a turn in events for the couple, the wedding was cancelled.  What that also meant was an unplanned free day for Leon and me.   So we got to do something that we haven’t done in a while..have a DATE….These are far and few in between as we typically are working on the weekends so I was ecstatic when he told me he booked us in for high tea at the Windsor Arms.

I have never been to high tea so I was excited for this new experience and of course the venue did not disappoint.   Purple rooms, rustic décor, decadent food, and yummy tea was on the menu.  We sat, ate, and talked and then got a chance to walk along Bloor.  I know this may seem simple, but since we rarely get to go downtown to spend time with just each other. This was simply perfect for us. We even saw the new bixi bikes they have downtown, so we ended up renting two for the day.  If you are downtown you need to give it a try because for $5 a person you can pretty much go everywhere in the city core.   We didn’t buy much, we didn’t do any huge events, but it was one of our best dates.  A hot summer day just walking along being a couple – kind of like the pictures we take of all our loving couples..but it wasn’t for them this time.  This time, we got a chance to enjoy it for ourselves.  Glad to say that after 2 years of marriage, date nights are just as important as ever.

Here our some shots of our simple, but nice summer date.
