A little sneak peak into Amanda and Bobby’s engagement session! I had such a pleasure with these two a couple weekends ago. They brought me to a beautiful location, which I never knew existed, called Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat, located in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. There was no snow on the ground in Maple Ridge itself, but a ten minute drive up the mountain, and there was at least two feet of snow at the Lodge, which made for some beautiful winter engagement photos.

After having to reschedule our session twice, it seemed like we picked the perfect day for photos! While it was a tad chilly, the clouds were high in the sky and the sun periodically peaked through.

Bobby and Amanda look so happily in love in every frame and were complete naturals in front of the camera. I loved everything about having these two in front of my camera, and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding this May!

I met with Brittany and Ali mid February for our engagement session together in Crescent Beach, BC. Coming from the freezing and snow filled east coast, I must say this was quite the contrast for me. A sunny, warm, sunset session was everything I had been missing for the last few months. We planned our engagement session at the location where they first met and the weather was most definitely on our side. Thank you west coast “winter” !

I have known Brittany for about 15 years now, and I met with Ali a couple years ago when we did our first couple’s session together. I couldn’t be happier to see Brittany with someone who loves and respects her as much as Ali does. They are both kind, caring, and beautiful people, inside and out. In just a few months, I get to watch her walk down the aisle, and I couldn’t be more excited to see these two tie the knot. They are not only totally in love, but they are best friends. Ali had Brittany laughing most of the session, which in turn, made me laugh. The total admiration and sincerity these two show with every kiss, every caress, and every glance, is enough to make any heart melt.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your special day, I can’t wait for August!

I feel pretty lucky having two friends who are a) incredibly in love and b) incredibly photogenic! Kelsey and Andy nailed their session back in September in Fredericton. I swear, Kelsey didn’t stop giggling the entire time. They’ve been together over 4 years and still, Kelsey was as giddy as ever in Andy’s presence. This was their first ever professional photo session together, though it was like they’ve been doing this their whole lives.

I had Kelsey come over earlier to do her hair and makeup, then we headed off to Odell Park all together. It was an absolutely perfect fall morning. Warm, sunny, and no wind. The park was already bustling with other photographers looking to take advantage of the day as well with their sessions.  We found some perfect spots and these two barely needed any direction.

Kelsey and Andy look so in love in every frame. Their beautiful smiles, genuine laughs, and heartfelt kisses, made this session one to remember. I loved everything about having these two in front of my camera, and I can’t wait to have them in front of my camera again!

I am so happy that I am not only able to shoot this couple’s engagement session, but their wedding next summer in Fredericton! These two lovebirds completely rocked their session. Both Vanessa and Brad needed little to no direction, as I basically just allowed them to interact with each other, and this was the outcome! These two are truly in love. The weather was beautiful and we had excellent fall foliage as we hung around the Governor’s house getting our shots!

Each time I shoot an engagement session, I ask about the proposal story, and this one I HAVE to share! Brad, not only bought a gorgeous ring that he held onto for 10 months, but he found such a unique and thoughtful way to propose to Vanessa, that only a Harry Potter fan could appreciate. He searched for 8 months to find a snitch necklace that could open to say ” will you marry me”, on the inside. When he gave Vanessa the necklace, she was elated to have such a cool piece of HP fan jewelry…She did not expect to open it up and have it say those magical 4 words! Vanessa told me she was completely got off by surprise. The sheer fact Brad had already bought the ring, but waited till he could give her the perfect proposal was swoon-worthy!

After such a fantastic engagement session together, I cannot wait for their summer wedding next August!

Stephanie and David’s beautiful evening engagement session from July is finally here! My first shoot post “Arthur” and from the background you can’t even tell that the aftermath of a hurricane had just hit us days prior! Though our original location was completely blocked off due to massive trees that had fallen, we quickly found a different location with little debris on one of the many walking trails of Fredericton. The weather was amazing! Warm with a little breeze, just as the sun was setting!

These two are not only super cute together but they had the cutest dog of all time! Little sweet Brody, who sat so well for photos. I’m so happy I had the chance to have these two in front of my camera. They are both so sweet to each other and complete naturals in front of the camera! It was a blast to hang out with these two and I left feeling like I had gained two friends!

Thanks for allowing me to capture your love, Steph and David, I wish them all the best in your wedding next summer!
