Dorothy + Marcus // Helicopter Engagement

March 12, 2020
Engagement  ·  Featured  ·  Photography

Normally I speak endlessly with my brides to plan their engagement session but this one was a little (a lot different) but FREAKING AMAZING!!

The one thing Marcus wanted was to plan this epic engagement photoshoot for his bride to be. Being a musician he wanted to creating some unique artwork with these photos that spoke to their personalities. We spent hours chatting about the best plan, ideas brainstormed from evening wear in a junk yard, to something on a Vancouver movie set and without seeing the photos already, you’ll never guess what the end result was. It was OUT OF THIS WORLD! He wanted unique, he wanted contrast, we created it.

Lets take a step back and let me tell you about how these two got engaged…

They had some time on their hands one afternoon and stumbled across mini golfing, not that they ever golf but they figured why not. So out of their norm, they ended up creating a wager for who won. The final wager went like this, if she won he had to propose but he wanted to know what he got if he won, so Dorothy threw out there that if he won, SHE would propose.

Not that either of them had much in the way of golfing skills lol they were both on a mission!

Turns out, Marcus won the round of golf. Glowing in his win, he bent down to pick up his golf ball, stood up and there was Dorothy down on one knee asking him to marry him!!! GAAAAHHH does it get any better than that?!?!?!

Without farther ado, check out what we created. Beautiful, unique and 10000% them…

We took a helicopter to the mountain tops around Vancouver, BC. We explored the snow covered mountain tops and rolled in the snow besides the glacial lakes. It was such an epic engagement, I want wait to capture their wedding photography in Squamish, BC this coming summer!!!

You don’t need a reason to be photographed. Not You don’t need a reason to be photographed.
 Not a birthday, not a milestone, not a ‘new chapter.’
 You’re reason enough—right here, right now
Ever seen a wedding photo and wondered, “Are the Ever seen a wedding photo and wondered, “Are they just naturally this photogenic?!” 🤩

Here’s a little secret: it’s not magic, it’s a perfect mix of authentic moments and intentional posing!

While I absolutely live for those unscripted, belly-laughing candids, the truth is, most couples need a little guidance to feel truly comfortable in front of the camera. That’s where posing comes in!

Posing isn’t about stiff, unnatural smiles. It’s about giving you gentle prompts and directions that help you connect with each other and look your absolute best. Think of it as a little secret language we’ll learn together! It helps create those stunning, magazine-worthy portraits while still making you feel like yourselves.

So yes, I’ll capture all the sweet, spontaneous moments, but I’ll also be your personal hype girl, helping you nail those timeless photos you’ll cherish forever.

What kind of photos are you most excited about? Candid or posed? Let me know! 👇
