I first met these two at a little coffee shop in Walnut Grove one quiet evening back in January. It was raining out that day, but as I got out of my car and peered past the pouring rain through the glass windows of the coffee shop I could see the outline of a couple. Sitting there together at a table, their heads bent together, foreheads touching, hand in hand, were Amelia & Lawrence. Even through the darkness & rain-streaked windows I could see not only the love these two held but also the joy they shared together.
We quickly delved into conversation, hearing details of their relationships, engagement, and upcoming wedding (seriously, these two shared more of their wedding plans during this session and it is going to be one incredibly special day – I can’t wait!). Once we started planning their engagement session, we quickly decided on Gastown in the heart of downtown Vancouver as the perfect spot. Lawrence had proposed at a building nearby and they both loved the contrast of the city buildings with their nearing summer wedding venue in Fort Langley.
Fast forward to this last week and we found ourselves meeting at the Steamclock – the centrepiece of Gastown. If they were nervous for their photo session they did not show it at all – the smiles beaming from their faces and the pure happiness shining from their eyes overtook any other doubts. These two were absolute naturals in front of the camera and their love truly shone through and told their story for them.
I’m so excited for their wedding this August at Fort Langley Golf Course. 🙂
