Joanne & Colin travelled from Lethbridge to find some nice white snow for their engagement photos. They are SO cute together! I love the nod to the Olympics – I need to get a pair of those gloves! Next time we see these two it will be much warmer, so look for their wedding this summer! Thanks you two for braving the cold with us.

Congratulations to Amna and Salman who are now engaged! They held their engagement celebration at one of our favourite restaurants, Zaika.

Leanne & Brody are getting married in Kelowna next year, and it sounds like the wedding is going to be incredible. While the weather is still good and the leaves are still (mostly) green, Michael met them for some romantic engagement photos.

Anna & Dave are so sweet, so gentle, so totally goofy. They are made for each other. Anna & Dave are good friends of Michael’s sister Alaina and we’ve really enjoyed getting to know them. We know their wedding next year is going to be amazing!

We just wrapped up Neha & Sumit’s outstanding wedding, and we’ll share those images with you soon. Sumit only arrived in town shortly before the wedding, and despite a busy schedule we managed to connect with Neha & Sumit for engagement photos in the river valley.

“Welcome to your scavenger hunt. To pass the game you will have to solve a series of clues I have thought of and find out where the secret locations are before reaching the final treasure.”

You might think that the longer we are in this business, the less emotion we feel at weddings and engagements, since we’ve seen it so many times before. On the contrary, the longer we do this, the more special each wedding feels – each glance, each touch, each kiss. Even more special are the unexpected moments we get to be a part of, like tonight when Deepak asked Poonam to marry him.

Deepak planned a scavenger hunt for Poonam at West Edmonton Mall. The clues led her to Booster Juice (where they first started dating),

Old Spaghetti Factory (where they once went on an interesting date),

Icing by Claire’s (where Poonam likes to buy her bling),

and then to the Ice Palace (she spotted me, but she had no idea what was up!) They have skated at Rockefeller Center together, and the Ice Palace was a good substitute.

Finally, Poonam skated to center ice, for one of the greatest moments of her life. Deepak presented her with this ring (isn’t it amazing?) and she very enthusiastically said yes!  There were people cheering all around the ice.

It’s easy to see how overjoyed Deepak was.

We spent some time exploring the mall as they enjoyed their first few moments as the newest engaged couple in Edmonton.

Here is an excerpt from one of the clues, which shows how deeply Deepak loves Poonam, “I can only imagine spending my life with you. I want to grow old with you and spend each and every day with you by my side”.

OK, so we all know the weather is hot right now, but do you know what’s hotter? Carrie & Nick. Seriously hot. You’ll see them again in September and judging by Carrie’s fashion sense it’s going to be fabulous.

We hope you enjoy these hot photos on a hot summer day.

I think Nick looks amazing here - he has such an incredible smile.

So many of you already know Sameera and Nitin, and what wonderful couple they are. Nitin’s proposal was a hot topic on the internet! If you missed it, you can read about it here.

We are so excited about their wedding this year, a melding of two hearts, two families, and two cities – we are going to Vancouver for part of the wedding!

Enjoy these engagement photos, and you’ll see more of these two next year.

When Jenny emailed to see if we ever come out to Vancouver for photography, I replied with a very excited ‘yes!’ We couldn’t have been happier at the idea of travelling to do engagement photography for Jenny and Bruce.

Jenny and Bruce have very busy careers as doctors in Vancouver. They have always loved walking around Vancouver together, especially the seawall area.

We also headed to the iconic Granville Market, another favourite spot of theirs.

This is my favourite photo of the shoot.

Thank you so much Jenny & Bruce, we hope you are having a lovely holiday, and we hope you can find an internet cafe somewhere to view these images. We had a great time visiting Vancouver, and enjoyed our afternoon with you.

PS: Thank you for recommending Sand Bar on Granville, we had a great lunch there!

It is a wonderful time for engagement photos – the weather is beautiful, and the colours in the trees pop. I met Aman & Ajit at the Royal Alberta Museum for a warm summer evening session.
