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!

R&C engagement

When I first saw that Cameo and Robb had started dating I thought to myself, ‘now there’s a perfect match!’ So when I got a text one day from Cameo saying, “I have news to tell you!” I knew right away Robb had popped the question!

These two are seriously so sweet! I loved watching from behind the lens as Robb would tease Cameo, making her laugh and just seeing the big smiles they have for each other. Hearing the story of their first date was too adorable. Robb took Cameo out to supper at the Fireside Bistro, they were both so nervous and wanted to impress each other. (I’m not to sure if it was Robb or the mushroom linguini that won Cameo’s heart first 😉 )

I’m so excited for you two and I wish you more than the best

D&L engagement

Over the past year it has been so awesome being roomies with Laura. Although her engagement to Damen means I must say goodbye to the luxury living at the condo -rip rooftop hot tub- I can 100% say I am beyond ecstatic for Damen and Laura!!

Naturally I was very excited that Laura asked me to do their engagement photos, and they made my job easy breezy, being so cute and natural together. It was so lovely to photograph this dreamy couple.

It has been so awesome getting to know Damen and Laura better and see first hand what an awesome team they make, being able to put together a wedding in two months is testament to that alone! You guys are such a sweet couple and I so look forward to sharing the same city as you two!

Q + C {couples}

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!
