Ballet Dancers

Heather Ogden and Guillaume Côté are principal dancers with the National Ballet of Canada. In addition to being dance partners, they're a couple off-stage and engaged to be married.

I know. They look and sound perfect. I'm not going to lie, I wanted to hate them because of their perfect smiles, their perfect bodies, their perfect lives and their perfect love.

But here's the thing - you can't hate them. They're really sweet and unpretentious. A lovely, genuinely adorable couple.

You could really sense that they love each other and they had a natural ease around one another, which was great to work around. I was a bit worried that I'd have to try and coax them out of their on-stage personas for pictures, but they were so sweet with each other that all I had to do is capture some really beautiful, simple moments in the short time I had with them.
