Engagement Session With Dylan + Hayley

January 11, 2023
Engagement  ·  Photography

Imagine, you have your man wrapped around you keeping you warm when you feel those raindrops on your face. You’re surrounded by the sound of the rain pouring and the wind within you … you’re both completely lost in the moment together.

That’s exactly what this shoot was like with Hayley and Dylan! This day was amazing, one of my favourites actually. The wind and the rain was like nothing else, but we didn’t let that stop us from getting some amazing shots. These were some really powerful moments, surrounded by the elements and we wanted to soak it all in to get some unique engagement photos!

These two love birds met through mutual friends at a Halloween party (how fun!!). After attending a Canucks game on their first date, they quickly became inseparable!! 

I looove this engagement story. As two people who grew up going to Osoyoos all the time as kids, Dylan felt it would be perfect to pop the question at their special spot. Once they started dating, their families often would go with them each year on a summer trip, so of course they had to be watching everything go down from afar! Dylan surprised Hayley at sunset, where he led her to a sign that said “will you marry me” … surrounded by candles and their family to congratulate them! I can only imagine how amazing this moment must have been for them. With the ones they love, starting their new chapter together.

Here are some of my favourite photos from the torrential rain and wind moment … honestly the whole moment was truly maggicaaal <3

What if your “I do” moment felt like stepping into a real-life fairy tale?

Forget the grand ballroom and the pressure of a big guest list. Imagine a quiet, sun-drenched park, just the two of you, promising forever, this is exactly what Manny and Aadila chose for themselves.

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.
