tim + sarah { grouse mountain engagement photography }

I am so excited to share this session. When I met with Tim + Sarah back in the fall, they had one request for their engagement photos. Sarah had really hoped for a summer engagement session, but with a spring wedding that was out of the question. So, the couple figured, if the session had to be done in the winter, the wanted their images to be really wintery! 

With that criteria in mind, a mountain top engagement shoot was planned. We met last weekend at Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver. It was a stunning day. Shooting in the heavy snow was definitely a challenge, but it was so worth it! 

Tim + Sarah are one of those couples that just ooze the love. They snuggle, giggle, marvel at how "cute" the snowflakes look on the others eyelashes....they are perfect for each other.  

I hope you both enjoy these photos as a memory of this sweet time in your lives...I am so looking forward to your March wedding!

Aaaah... part two of a great engagement session. You can see their initial post here. I think I'm going to miss this couple until we meet up again at their August wedding.

For the second segment of these photos, we met up at Clover Point and Beacon Hill Park in Victoria. These are both beautiful areas in the capital city, both also within a short distance from where Brian grew up. We started the session attempting to fly a kite...but super high winds and a dud kite made that a bit of a fail. The lower beach provided some great shelter from the wind as did the treed fields at Beacon Hill.

In other news, you may notice a slight change of scenery here on the blog! My hubby slaved away on photoshop yesterday, helping to create something that we felt represented us a little better! We are so enjoying growing this business together...we look forward to spending time with 14 couples this year, getting to know them, being part of such a monumental day in their lives, and sharing their love stories through images. It's a pretty great job.

I will still be taking portrait sessions, including family, maternity, newborn, grad etc. Be sure to drop  me an email well ahead of time as the calendar seems to be filling quickly!

Happy New Year !!!
