engagement photos in whistler

Fall is my most favorite time in Whistler. It is ridiculously busy with the beginning of school, the start of the winter season- and the deperate run of doing everything you can before the snow falls from long walks to cleaning out the yard and finishing house repairs.

And then... in the midst of that we have this unbelievably beautiful season- leaves and trees and mountains and  sweet sun with gorgeous light. And so I take as many sessions as possible and celebrate inside when the light, and the day works with the scheduled session. This was one of those days.

an engagement session...

we started the day with coffee and chatting about the upcoming wedding... 

i always love this process... i can learn so much about the bride and groom to be... about the details of the wedding... and then i get to be creative and come up with great ideas that will be flattering and complimentary to the couple and the day... 

for this couple it was all about interaction, capturing candid moments... and a touch of orange and fun... 

enjoy xo

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

vancouver engagement session

part two... 

i love doing couple photos... especially engagement. 

we get such a sense of the personalities,and dynamics of the couple... which works out great to know before photographing them on the wedding day.... we get comfortable with one another... which ends up making a world of difference to the photos. 

this set was done at UBC... i love it there!

engagement in whistler

this beautiful couple is having a winter whistler wedding.... and so we thought the summer engagement photos would be fitting... 

the location, the lake they got engaged at, perfect! 

they were so fun... and so funny... 

I laughed the whole time... engagement sessions are perfect just for that reason... you get to know the couple... and the couple gets to know you... and the photos... 

they are just comfortable and real... 

i love these... i love that they show the love of this couple... simple and sweet.

I'm SO EXCITED!!

Chad mocked me in the car because he thinks I overdid it with telling this groom and bride to be how excited i was about the wedding... and fully... i did. It just kept coming out of my mouth... I could not stop it... 

This will be our first Indian wedding... and every since Chad and I started wedding photography I have wanted to photograph the beautiful colors and details of an Indian wedding. Chad and I actually met in India... We both had a 4 day layover in Delhi... and through a series of unexpected events ended up in the same hotel. We both loved our time there... individually and together... and it was in India where we fell in love. We have travelled back many times but not since having children. We hope to go back again soon. 

So there are many reasons to be SO excited about this upcoming wedding... and we had a lovely night in Vancouver photographing this engagement session. 

S&A I will say it just one more time.... I AM SO EXCITED!!!

whistler engagement

it is so fun to spend time with our brides and grooms in the engagement sessions before the wedding. we get such a feel for who they are... and then when the day comes along... there is a comfort with one another that is integral to the intimacy captured at the wedding! 

excited about this local wedding coming up this summer... 

 

 

 

 

chad even joined up with the family and couple for some action mountain photos!

an engagement session...

just finished this one... very excited about the wedding in August!! this was so great as we got to know the couple more... and they get photos that are a bit more informal then their wedding photos will be... 

this was a joint effort by chad and I... xoxo

off to the city but had to post at least one....

from last nights engagement session...
it was so fun.... we are very excited to photograph this wedding!!

the light was strong as it is finally summer here... so it was challenging to work with the light... however... i love what we got... lots of flare and filtered rays....

it felt good to be challenged! so... just one... and then the boys and i are heading out for a session in vancouver... some modeling for the boys and a clothing store shoot for me.... VERY EXCITED!!!! Will post more of that... and this... early next week!!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

another from the engagement!

i go through moods with my photos...
some in an urban conversion... and then i get moody with my black and whites... then i get bright with colors...
lately i have been the queen of sunflare...

and this week... i am loving the textures!

I think I am getting the flu...

that achy tired feeling... hate that.
this photo made me laugh... making my clients work for me... carrying the orange chair!!
