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

Kate Paterson | Vancouver BC Wedding Photographer

katepatersonphotography

It’s wedding day for Rachel and Jason today and It’s wedding day for Rachel and Jason today and I couldn’t be more excited.

Backyard, intimate weddings surrounded by their closest friends and family is such a special thing to experience with them and I’m here for all the emotions that will be surrounding them🤍
One of the biggest things I tell my couples?Slow. One of the biggest things I tell my couples?Slow. Down.

Not just for the sake of your memories—but so you can be truly present in the moment and we can capture them for you.

✨ Take your time walking down the aisle
✨ Don’t rush that first kiss
✨ Hold your dad a little longer
✨ Swirl your wine an extra second
✨ Look around and let it land

These tiny moments are everything. They fly by in a blink—but when you pause, when you breathe, we’re able to catch:
– The emotion in your eyes
– The tear on someone’s cheek
– The laughter from just out of frame
– The wide shots and the quiet close-ups

We move quickly behind the lens—but sometimes, our couples move even faster.

So here’s your gentle reminder: slow down and savor.

You’re not just living the moment—you’re giving us a chance to freeze it, forever.
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??
