"I LOVE EVERYTHING about what you are describing about their wedding day...Floral crown station??! Food trucks and multiple live musicians? PINCH. ME. Plus they are the cutest couple ever AND he is holding a lucky. I think we will get along, just fine!"

Read MoreYishan + Andrew braved the elements with us for an engagement session while on a little get-away in Tofino! We started the session over warm coffee and donuts in a cozy corner booth at Rhino Coffee. Yishan + Andrew cuddled and laughed and enjoyed their treats, sharing details of their family (her's are in China and his in Florida) how they met working for Sea Span in Vancouver, plans for their July wedding and their obsession with Earnest Ice Cream. As the story goes Andrew arranged a private "tasting" for new Earnest flavours for Yishan and surprise her with a beautiful diamond ring! We shot at iconic Storm in downtown Tofino before heading into the forest and out to the beach. The weather was wild as we were witnessing a Typhoon in Tofino, with big waves and big tides. We stuck to higher ground and rocky points to capture some beautiful memories for this oh-so-happy couple!
Read MoreI met up with Heather + Ryan at the Red Arrow Brewery in Duncan. Both of them lovers of craft beer I thought it was the perfect place to get started on our session! What a great venue, and the beer flights they picked hit the spot. These two met at work at the Laurel Point Inn. After returning to work after taking some time off to travel Heather "noticed" a new face, who just happened to be tall-dark-and-handsome. The grapevine confirmed for her that Ryan was in a relationship...c'est la vie she thought. Fast forward 2 years and Heather is finishing her schooling and getting back to work full time at the Laurel. A few more random hallway run in's with Ryan filled with light chatter and humour. On one occasion he left her with a flattering comment. Causing some heart flutters + confusion for Heather but instilled a confidence that Ryan was now single. Later confirmed by the grapevine! Fast forward a few months and they were taking their first trip together and making plans for the future.
