Gold Creek Engagement

Brendan & Elizabeth:

Ahh young love! These two are so sweet together. When Elizabeth got in touch with me a few months back, I instantly felt drawn in by her sweet smile that reached far past her eyes. You can feel the genuine kindness and real beauty this girl has from your first interaction with her. As we planned out what her hopes were for our time together during their session, I was even more curious to get to know the guy who won her heart.

I loved hearing about their plans for the future – goals, family, wedding, dreams of a home, and hope for all that’s to come. They are full of excitement at starting this next stage in life together, and I am over the moon to watch their journey.

Their engagement session was at Golden Ears Park. Golden Ears is by far one of my go-to most favourite locations in the Lower Mainland to shoot at. It’s relatively close to most of my clients, is a quick hop across the bridge for me, and the park really cannot be beat. I could sit anywhere within the park for hours and just soak in the beauty and the sounds of nature there. It really is one of the most serene & stunning locations around (check out the parks Instagram page here!!). We had planned to explore around the pebbly beach of Alouette Lake but found many of the places were shut down due to filming (thanks a lot Riverdale – haha) but I am so glad that was the case! With most of our options closed off, we decided to venture further into the park to Gold Creek and oh my goodness was it ever worth it!! I could’ve photographed these two here all day long – we had the best time together.

Here’s a curated selection of all my favourites from their fun Gold Creek Engagement Session Gallery…

Crescent Beach Mendhi Indian Wedding Shower:

I had so much fun getting to know Jug & Jasleen better during their late summer golden hour Crescent Beach Mendhi wedding shower celebration! This is just the first taste of Jug & Jasleen’s love that we have the honour of witnessing… I am so excited to be again joining my dear friend Hannah Cummins Photography as part of the team of creatives helping to capture their destination wedding. I can’t wait for their wedding celebration at the not-yet-open Hard Rock Hotel in Cabo this fall!

One of the best parts of being a photographer is getting to witness moments of pure love between two people. Truly, it’s a humbling experience to be asked to be a part of these special moments and help create lasting memories.

Sure, I shoot a lot of weddings, and I dabble in family portraiture, but did you know that I also photograph engagements? And the best ones… those are the ones when she has absolutely no idea what she’s walking into.

Moments like the ones below give purpose to what I do. I mean, just looking at these photos you can see the love and adoration this beautiful couple shares.

The perfect proposal

Every part of this proposal was carefully planned. From the phone calls organizing my presence, to the champagne and flower petal runway – it was perfect.

And seeing the emotions on Kiki’s face as she realized what was happening – the moment the words on the sign truly dawned on her. Magic!

And I was able to capture this moment for this lovely couple.

What I loved about this engagement

I got to say, I’m a sucker for a good story. But I also love the transformative power that a location can bring to a special moment like an engagement.

In this case, the engagement took place at Deep Cove, which of course is a fabulous location in the summer. But absolutely picturesque any time of year.

The right mood can change any location from commonplace to special. And it has nothing to do with the location, and everything to do with what the couple brings to the setting.

THE STORY

Goats, Llamas, Chickens & Kisses:

This Maple Ridge Farm Day After Session is the blog your animal-loving self has been waiting for! These two are so cute, sweet and joyful together – I loved capturing these fun moments for them and it didn’t help that we virtually had our own private petting zoo to ourselves at their family friend’s hobby farm in Whonnock Lake just past Maple Ridge.

How’d We Get Here?!:

The backstory? Kyla & Travis had gotten married earlier in the week. Kyla had worked hard behind the scenes in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding to organize a secret surprise for her new groom on their wedding day… You see, he has an addiction. A love and adoration, bordering on the lines of a healthy obsession 😉 with …. Goats!!! Travis’ love for goats went as far as when guests at their wedding reception wanted them to kiss, they had to make goat “baaaaaa’s” for it to happen!

The day of the wedding came, and little did Travis know Kyla had orchestrated for the arrival of goats during their wedding. But life is always a little messy and not everything is supposed to go as planned on your wedding day – it’s life’s way of teasing you to see how you two will conquer the realities life throws at you in the future. Long story short… The goats fell threw that day but led us to the most perfect Maple Ridge Farm Day After Session!

My photog-friend, the talented Stacie Lynn, had captured their wedding the weekend prior but was already busy the week they were able to make it out to the hobby farm. You see, Kyla was fiercely dedicated to seeing this through and giving Travis this experience. She arranged to surprise him – having them dress up, go on the adventure to the hobby farm complete with a romantic dinner for two surrounded by the goats and chickens!

Day-After Session Gallery:

We had so much fun hanging with all the sweet animals – I may have to make farm sessions my new niche because we had a freakin’ blast and this animal lover’s heart very full after holding those baby chicks and hanging out with the horse! 😉
