I can never resist a good golden hour at Pitt Lake for a session. The sun dips ever so perfectly behind the mountains, the clouds can be so lovely & dramatic and between the mountains, fields and narrow long winding road to/from the location it’s easy to see why this is a local favourite session spot. It can get busy, like REALLY busy – the nicer the evening, no matter the time of year, the higher the likelihood that you may end up shooting almost elbow to elbow with other photographers. I strive to stay away from these busy bustling evenings where a quiet space is hard to find because, to me, the most important part of an engagement session is providing a safe space. A safe space at MKP is designed to give you room to be comfortable to be yourself, to explore the space & world around us, and to be bold adventurous and authentically ourselves during the session. I often find on the busy busy evenings at Pitt Lake this safe space is difficult to hold & protect for my couples and I never want that energy to take away from the excitement & moment of YOUR engagement session! Shooting on the off-season times can be helpful as well as opting for a sunrise session! I have become a big fan of sunrise sessions lately, and I PROMISE #1 to greet you with a coffee, & #2 it will absolutely be worth the early wake-up call! T
These two were such troopers on a busy night for their Pitt Lake engagement session. I absolutely was dying over the black & white edits from their session, I couldn’t get enough! I just absolutely got *LOST* in Amina’s eyes, they really popped while I was editing so please enjoy a few more than I would usually share! A&F were so sweet throughout their entire session, we had lots of laughs and made the most of our amazing location at Pitt Lake! After a long wait, these two have a lot to celebrate at their summer wedding after multiple postponements due to the pandemic. I am so happy these two are officially able to tie the knot & party with all their friends & family! I cannot wait for their August wedding; it’ll be here before we know it!

[…] This Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion Wedding was the most perfect warm sunny mid-summer day. These two lovebirds have been together through the ups and downs of both life & the recent pandemic. They deserved the best wedding celebration possible. After being together for over 10 years after meeting at work, these two have stood the test of time and shown true commitment and loyalty to growing in life together. They faced multiple postponements of their wedding date with ever-changing restrictions, so it was the celebration of the summer for these two to come together and finally make it official! Catch up on their engagement session at Pitt Lake over here. […]
