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

Wind in the veil, champagne in hand, hearts racing Wind in the veil, champagne in hand, hearts racing.
 You’re still in the middle of the day, but these are the photos that will take you right back every time.
It’s been a while—so if you’re new here, hi! It’s been a while—so if you’re new here, hi! I’m Kate, the girl behind the lens (always tea in hand, never coffee). I’m a photographer based in Abbotsford and traveling all across BC to capture weddings, families, and all the love stories in between.

My heart is in the unposed, unscripted, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of moments. The real laughs. The tight squeezes. The wind-in-your-hair kind of magic that tells your story in a way that actually feels like you.

If you’re planning something special or just love timeless, feel-good photos—stick around. You’re in the right place.

👉🏻 This new dress coming soon to my client closet! Who wants to capture some beauty in it with me??
Getting ready photos? They’re not just makeup to Getting ready photos? They’re not just makeup touch-ups and dress zips.
They’re the quiet glances, deep breaths, and little moments that mark the shift from “fiancé” to “bride.”

You might wonder—is it really worth capturing these parts of the day?
Here’s my honest take:

PROS:
→ It’s a slow, gentle start to a big day
→ Emotions are fresh and real
→ You’re surrounded by your people—your closest circle
→ The details shine (rings, perfume, florals, heirlooms)

CONS:
→ Honestly? There aren’t many.

If we plan your timeline with intention, this part becomes one of the most meaningful chapters of the day.

Golden hour just knows how to show up. Sam brought Golden hour just knows how to show up.
Sam brought her calm energy to this session—and watching her with her little one was such a reminder of how much love lives in the in-between moments.

The way she snuggles her babe, the way she laughs—it’s the kind of stuff you’ll never regret capturing.
Motherhood doesn’t slow down, but you can absolutely hit pause like this.
