I have to say I was SO excited to photograph Janny and Jake, we met a few months back and I loved their energy and quite adoration of each other. Their wedding is fast approaching and based on how well their engagement session went, I know their day will be incredible! Full of so much love and emotion. Can’t wait!
Jana and Kevin are getting married in Mexico in the winter and sought me out for their engagement session after Kevin proposed to Jana over sushi. Apparently Jana drowned her ring, unknowingly, with the sauce as it was hidden under the radish garnish. I have to say hearing the different engagement tales is one of my favourite things. Everyone has a story and they all usually have a common thread of the girl putting a kink in the plans someway somehow. Kevin had set up the proposal at their favourite sushi place, speaking to the staff and the chefs only to have Jana decide she wasn’t really into sushi that night. Kevin persisted and she conceded that sushi was ok, but it had to be the Chinook location so she could go shopping afterwards. Kevin made a desperate phone call and managed to pull it off and of course, Jana answered with a resounding YES! They are such a sweet couple and it was a breeze photographing such a genuine relationship. Enjoy!
I had the good fortune to meet Amie and Brandon a couple years ago when I photographed their friend’s wedding in Vegas. Brandon was in the wedding party and was immediately someone that I knew I could count on to make everyone laugh. I was delighted when I heard that they had gotten engaged and even more so when they booked me right on the spot. I love when that happens! I think how Brandon proposed is one of the coolest I have ever heard about. He is a big fisherman and so, he created the perfect plan to utilize the PERFECT lure…. and what might that be you ask? Well, the wedding ring of course. Yes, there is an actual fishing lure called the wedding ring! How cool is that?! He found the opportunity to put his plan into action when they were on a family camping trip. Brandon was fishing and slyly asked Amie for the aforementioned lure. She didn’t really think anything of it, knowing that that is indeed a lure he uses. Still, as she rummaged through the tackle box, something caught her eye….. Sure it was the wedding ring packaging but inside, it was definitely NOT the lure. Carefully placed inside was a spectacular diamond engagement ring. Fast forward to our session, and we chose Kananaskis as our backdrop. Amie and Brandon spend a huge amount of time outside, hiking, snowshoeing, you name it, so it was only fitting that we head out to the mountains. They can attest to how amazing the scenery was by the fact that all I wanted to do was keep shooting. I cannot wait for their Lougheed House wedding in June! Enjoy the sneakpeek!
