Glacial Engagement | Stay true to yourselves!

December 26, 2019
Education  ·  Engagement  ·  Featured  ·  Photography  ·  Wedding

You’re engaged and it feels incredible!!!!

You now probably have a thousand things running through your mind and your Pinterest updated and you’re ready to plan the adventure of a lifetime! You get to go dress shopping, design centre pieces and all the other exciting things that some have dreamed of for years and others are just thinking about AND THATS OK! It’s going to be incredible.

One thing that I want you to always keep in mind throughout this whole process… Stay true to yourselves! It is so so sooo important.

If you want an adventurous elopement to the top of a mountain or a destination wedding, make it happen. It will truly have the biggest impact in how this entire process goes for you. There are lots of things to consider but here are a few things to think about to make it everything you want it to be.

  • If you want to elope but your family want a large celebration, consider doing a small elopement ceremony one day and a large celebration with vows another day
  • If you want a destination wedding but the funds aren’t there, consider a small destination elopement and a large celebration when you get home
  • Everyone will have a value opinion, some helpful and some not so helpful. This can be very tricky to navigate depending on who’s opinion it is. Always remember that no matter who they are and what you do, there’s always going to be comments. Staying true to what you truly want will make the day incredible for you and your man. I’m not saying don’t make small adjustments but think carefully about things.

This helicopter engagement session at the top of Golden Ears, BC has sparked this post because it is the perfect representation of staying true to you. He planned this entire day and surprised his bride with the adventure on the morning of our photo session. He wanted unique, fun and WILD!

He brought his change of clothes with us and we hopped in a helicopter and took an incredible flight to the stunning mountain tops surrounding he lower mainland of BC. Landing on the top of a snow covered peek was so exhilarating and exciting. Gaaaah such an incredible afternoon of love and laughter, goofiness and playful and truly capturing what they had envisioned.

Sam and Dino brought the perfect mix of romance and connection to this mountain-side session—proof that bridal portraits don’t have to be just about the dress, but about the story, the connection, and the moments in between.

Golden hour has a way of making everything feel a Golden hour has a way of making everything feel a little more magical, and this evening with Steph and Stefan was no exception.

Leaving their boys at home, they spent the evening soaking in the meadow, laughing, connecting, and fully embracing just their relationship.

Moments like these—soft light, genuine smiles, and the quiet joy of being together—are exactly why I love what I do. It’s all about capturing the sparks that make your love story uniquely yours.

There’s something so special about soaking in these fleeting moments, feeling the tide, the warmth of the sun, and the excitement of what’s to come.

These are the memories you’ll carry long after the days blur together, captured exactly as they feel right now.
