Our Story
Picture this: Two characters floating around in the same universe but not quite crossing paths...at least, not yet.
We originally met in middle school and we didn't think much of each other than, "Hey, it's that kid from my class." We spent our core-character building years in different high schools and then, in the summer of 2013 at a local grocery store, a girl and a boy...re-met.
It only took a week to fill each other in on the years we missed out on. We were seemingly telling the same stories but in different points of view, and very much like talking to each other's reflection. After 9 years of dating, we became Mr. & Mrs...and the rest is history!
We studied and graduated from McMaster University in 2017, earning a double major in Communications Studies & Multimedia. Although our brain cells probably needed time to recover after years of non-stop critical thinking and eighteen-page papers, it was very clear that our creative powers could not be suppressed. One month after graduating, we decided to combine our passion for photography and video to create Oddly Picturesque.
