surrey engagement photographer / love, wine & crayons

in ,

Mira & Jason met me at Holland Park in Surrey, wearing beautiful clothes and big smiles and carrying two wine glasses.  (Good start to an engagement session, right?)

They got engaged one day last summer, after spending the afternoon downtown.  Jason told me he'd been carrying the ring around in his pocket all day, sweating and nervous and silent.  When he'd finally popped the question, he found out he had no reason to fear - she said yes!   

And here they are today.  I had so much fun with them, posing them and laughing and making them kiss (as a photographer, I have the power to make people kiss!) and sip wine (they love wine, so they brought along a bottle), and colour (yes - you read that right!  Mira & Jason drew their own Save-the-Date sign with wooden pencil crayons!).  

All in all - an evening well spent :) 

 

spanish banks engagement photographer / early morning love story

in ,

I know Andrew's sister, and she is awesome.  So when he and Shahla contacted me to take their engagement photos, I knew that they must be awesome too!  I didn't know quite HOW awesome they would be, however.  This engagement session was so much fun!

Andrew & Shahla got engaged at Spanish Banks Beach, and that was where we decided to take their engagement photos - at 7:30 on a Saturday morning.  The weather was similar to the day they got engaged - misty and a little bit rainy, but they braved through it, with their blanket and coffees!  And here are the photos from that lovely grey morning.

jericho beach engagement photographer / wonderland

I can't even begin to express how much fun we all had taking these photos.  And meeting this couple was the best part - they were up for anything, laughed a lot, and were completely in love.  

This is how their story goes, as told to me by them and remembered by me.  (So pardon any faulty details!)

Sasha and Gabriel met in Vancouver years ago, but she was living in Australia while he was in Vancouver.  After doing long-distance for some time, Gabriel proposed; she said "Are you serious?!" (which means yes), and Gabriel planned a lot of the wedding himself. (A fact that greatly impressed me.)   Sasha arrived just in time for the wedding, so they never had time to get their engagement photos taken.

So these were their four-years-after-the-fact engagement photos, and I'm so glad they chose me to take them!  We went to Locardo Beach (near Jericho Beach) as the sun started to set, and there the magic happened.

Can I also say how much I love balloons in the sunset, and kissing pictures?  Because I do.  So much.
