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

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

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.
Not every champagne pop goes to plan… and that’s okay 😅

This groom gave it everything—but when the bottle didn’t spray, he improvised (by throwing it out of the bottle lol and honestly, I’m not mad about it. It was hilarious!

Want the spray and the sparkle on your wedding day? 

Here’s your 3-step champagne pop guide for wedding-day magic:
	1	Chill your bottle beforehand (this builds pressure for a good spray).
	2	Loosen the cage and hold the bottle at a 45° angle, away from faces.
	3	Once the cork pops, quickly place your thumb over the opening and give it a gentle shake—just like a garden hose. Instant celebration!

Whether it’s picture-perfect or pure chaos, these are the moments you’ll be laughing about for years.
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.
