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. 🙂

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Maria + her fiancée Brad at Buntzen Lake for their engagement session! Maria and I had met up for coffee a couple of weeks beforehand to talk about their upcoming Manning Park wedding and after hearing their story + how they fell in love, I was so excited to meet the one who had swept her off her feet!

As Maria + Brad walked down the path towards me at Buntzen Lake, it was clear how captivatedly in love these two were with each other. From the way she held his hand, to the way Brad gazed down at her – there was no doubting the love they share for one another. They blew me away with how calm + collected they were in front of the camera and I was (a little too) excited to see how fearless these two were to with going along with my crazy requests + ideas! Having couples that place their trust in my creativity + vision for their session is such a privilege and as a result we walked away with some really fun + amazing shots (I can’t wait to share the rest with you two!)!!  I feel so fortunate to have these guys as one of my newest 2016 Meg Kristina couples.

I am so excited to photograph their mountain-top ceremony this July. You two make such a beautiful couple!

Somedays I really can’t choose between colour or black & white – which one do you like the most??

Teri + Mick’s love story is one for the record books. They met each other in high school where they were both busy discovering themselves – who they wanted to be & where they wanted to go, to find their way to each other, and so they went their separate ways in life. 25 years later, fate intervened and reintroduced these two into each other’s lives. It’s been almost 5 years since they refound each other and formed a love & life together. I am so excited to capture their wedding this weekend with Harrison Lake as the backdrop for this beautiful couple.
