K&S engagement

It feels like just yesterday Sylvie and I were working the same high school summer job at the local market garden but now she’s all grown up and has gotten herself engaged!! WOOHOO!

These two are so laid back they made my job easy, breezy, beautiful. We had a beautiful evening -minus the mosquitos- out in the countryside that just consisted of Kenton and Sylvie making each other laugh and me capturing those moments. I don’t know anything about marriage but I think if these two keep making each other laugh as much as they did while I was photographing them, they’ll be looking at a long and happy marriage.

Thanks for choosing me to capture this special and important moment in your lives. All the best to you two cuties. ❤

Oh and also, how cool is this, instead of a ring Kenton got Sylvie an espresso machine! Love the uniqueness and the personality in this engagement gift!! Smart move for Kenton, I mean what girl would say no to an espresso machine!

‘Tis the Season

In Canada when the thermometers go above 15 degrees Celsius and our igloos begin to melt we pull out our summer wardrobe, our sunscreen and our sunglasses; we don’t want to blind anyone with that pasty white skin we acquired during the winter months. So call us crazy for picnicking when it’s only a few degrees above freezing but we know there’s nothing a Vancouver Canucks fleece blanket can’t handle.

When Aaron and Deepa decided to get married they didn’t waste any time! With only a few months to plan a wedding it ended up being difficult to find time to fit in an engagement session. Luckily, we were able to carve out a bit of time one evening and they didn’t even hardly have to leave the backyard!

And I know that I’ve said I don’t photograph weddings but when your crazy in love friends decide to get married like, NOW…how could I possibly say no?! I mean, look at these two!!

Watch for their wedding images in a few short weeks!

You know those friends that you’re comfortable with even in those awkward silent moments? Well, that’s the kind of friendship my family has with this couple. Actually, when I think about it there are no silent moments when her and I are around!?! hmmmm…

Since we met them 3 years ago there’s been no rock unturned. For the most part the guys talk about their jobs(they’re both nurses…MALE nurses no less! So adorable how some feel the need to clarify). Us ladies…well…there’s nothing that we haven’t discussed. Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson’s split, chocolate covered almonds with peanut butter or without, the lasting power of UGGs, you know the important stuff. I’m so glad you two came into our life. Who else would I call when I’m stuck in my garage or need someone to stand in while I’m location hunting? Thanks again!

It was such a joy to do an engagement session with this couple. They were so relaxed with one another and it was cute to watch him tease her mercilessly. Time flew and before we knew it the sun was setting and we weren’t finished having fun! Congrats to a beautifully in love couple. I have no doubt that their fun-filled days have just begun!
