Natalie and Marcus’ engagement shoot began with a week of fervent weather watching.  They had their heart set on shooting their photos at the field where the proposal went down, the Keg restaurant where they had their first date, and at a beach which unfortunately looked like would be rained out as the week leading up to their shoot was scattered with showers.  As it turned out, the field where the proposal occurred has since been fenced in and the Keg where they had their first date had burned down!

Plan B to the rescue!  Nearby to that field is a large track with bleachers which made for a suitable shoot location.  The added bonus is that the bleachers were under a large white tent which acted like a huge softbox on this sunny day!  As for the Keg, it’s been rebuilt as a swanky new restaurant in a new location.  And the weather?  Unseasonably warm that day and at the beach, Natalie and Marcus whipped off their shoes to for a spirited jaunt through the damp sand and waters and ended up with extremely muddy feet!100418 1 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 2 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 3 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 4 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 5 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 6 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 7 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 8 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 9 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 10 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 11 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 12 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 13 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 14 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 15 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 16 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 17 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 18 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 19 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 20 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 21 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement100418 22 Natalie + Marcus | Engagement

Happy Happy, Joy Joy

Please excuse the Ren and Stimpy reference (a controversial cartoon from the early 90s for you young’uns) but it’s always gratifying to get positive feedback from clients.  In this case, Cheryl and Bert have posted up their engagement photos onto their wedding website.  It’s worth a read if you enjoy reading cute proposal stories.

In case you were wondering, this is the shot they’re talking when they mentioned a shot risking lives to take.  Apparently they found it very impressive that I would lay down in the middle of the road and keep taking pictures and giving them directions… even with traffic coming up behind me!

Cheryl and Bert came to us with very short notice with the request that we shoot somewhere that highlighted the beautiful fall colors since their wedding colors were to be coral and brown. Living on opposite ends of the continent and in different countries (she in Vancouver and he in New Jersey), we had an extremely small window of opportunity to make this shoot happen. Couple this with typically rainy Vancouver weather for November, it would take a minor miracle for this shoot to come to fruition as planned. Luckily for Cheryl and Bert, everything aligned up perfectly and we were able get some gorgeous shots to commemorate their engagement.

Congratulations Cheryl and Bert! It’s readily apparent just how in love you two are with each other!

Random update spam…

While going through to prep a couple of more recent shoots, I noticed that there have been some older material sitting on my computer unpublished on the blog.  Some may have been seen before in our portfolio but others have yet to have been seen on our site.

So here they come in one large random post.

First off, some from Brenda…

Laura and Matt were looking for engagement photos at the beach as their wedding will be a destination wedding and they wanted to send out some beach-inspired save the date cards.  Now this normally isn’t an odd request or a particularly challenging proposition but this happened to be Vancouver… in October!  As luck would have it, we managed to catch what will likely be one of the last sunny weekends of the year for their engagement shoot.  After a couple of misfires including a (highly legal of course!) U-turn on a highway, an unexpected train crossing, an abundance of drab greyness at our primary location and conflicting with a wedding(!) at our backup location, we finally managed to complete the shoot with some gorgeous light at a very sandy little out of the way spot!
