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!!!

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

There’s something so timeless about a woman in h There’s something so timeless about a woman in her wedding gown—before the music plays, before the guests arrive, before the day officially begins.

It’s that quiet space where emotions stir, anticipation builds, and the beauty of this chapter really sinks in.

This bridal session was all of that and more—soft light, still air, and the reminder that being fully present in your day is what makes it unforgettable.

Don’t rush these moments. Let’s give you the space to take it all in, and remember how it felt.

Your anniversary doesn’t have to be a grand gest Your anniversary doesn’t have to be a grand gesture to mean something big.

Here are 3 timeless ways to celebrate your story:

💌 Revisit your vows – Read them out loud. Remind each other of the promises made and how you’ve grown into them.

📸 Book a session, just the two of you – Capture who you are now—not just who you were on your wedding day. Every chapter deserves to be seen.

🥂 Do something that feels like you – Whether it’s coffee in your backyard, a hike to your favorite lookout, or dinner at the spot you first met… choose simplicity and intention over pressure and performance.

Marriage isn’t about one day—it’s about the days after.
So celebrate how far you’ve come, and the love that continues to grow.

The little details? They’re not so little. Whet The little details? They’re not so little.

Whether it’s your grandmother’s earrings, the perfume you saved just for this day, or the ribbon wrapped around your bouquet—these pieces hold stories. They’re the quiet moments that ground you and bring your wedding day full circle.

If you’re in the thick of planning, here’s your reminder: take time to gather the items that feel like you. Not for the sake of the photos (though yes, I’ll absolutely capture them)—but because these tiny pieces will one day bring you right back to how it all felt.

What’s one meaningful item you’re including in your day?
