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!!!

It’s the little things that told their story — the heirloom earrings, the handwritten vows, the perfume that will always be 'that scent'.

When they look back, these are the small details that will bring them right back to how the day felt.

Sometimes a memory is just so beautiful, it deserves a replay. This one is for Janelle and Austin, who flew all the way up from California to celebrate their One Year Anniversary with a mountain adventure right here at Alouette Lake!

Why These Moments Are Timeless
This is the beauty of choosing intentionality and experience in your marriage. It wasn't just about taking pictures; it was about honoring the start of their legacy by creating a new, unforgettable milestone. The misty, quiet B.C. mountains were the perfect backdrop for their connection—a reminder that their love story is bigger than any single location.

Thank you, Janelle and Austin, for letting me be part of this incredible chapter. Your decision to chase those B.C. views remains one of my favorite memories of intentional love!
Your wedding day is a masterpiece, and while the f Your wedding day is a masterpiece, and while the flowers and the dress are breathtaking, it's the quiet, timeless details that carry the weight of your history.

Can we talk about the heirloom pieces? 👇

The Real Story Behind the "Stuff"
For my couples, the details aren't just for show. They're tangible links to the past, little moments of legacy you can feel. I'm talking about:

The delicate heirloom jewelry—maybe worn by your grandmother or great-aunt—that makes you feel wrapped in generations of love. (A moment to pause, breathe, and connect.)

The family Bible, passed down for decades, signed on your wedding day—a reminder that your story is part of something much bigger.

Pain Point: Are you worried these meaningful details will be rushed or missed in the whirlwind? I promise you, they won't be.

My Promise to You
As your photographer, I don't just snap a picture of these items. I treat them with the reverence they deserve, knowing they represent your history and the start of your new legacy. I believe in capturing that quiet, timeless moment—the soft light on your rings, the gentle fold of a treasured page.

This is where your memories become more than just fleeting moments; they become heartfelt, tangible heirlooms for your own children someday.
