Find me by the river | Kim & Marlon | Pitt Meadows Proposal Photography

Have you ever been so excited that you feel like you’re vibrating with anticipation? Today was one of those days!

I arrive at Sky Helicopters Hangar an hour early, talk to the team, and align our ‘story’ so we were all on the same page in case she gets suspicious. Spoiler Alert, she didn’t catch on and it was breathtaking!

Kimberly writes:

” We met in the month of September 2022 in the church, from the first moment he saw me enter the church he felt in his heart that I was his wife, he invited me out and I accepted, our first date was spectacular it was a very romantic day where he declared his love to me in a restaurant facing the beach and then we went to see the sunset, the following week we both knew that we were made for each other and so we began to build our love every day, without imagining that on May 22, 2023, when I got on the helicopter, I was going to become his future wife”

There is just something about this first photo waiting in the lobby. The pure joy that Kimberly gives off is infectious and I couldn’t wait to see how much brighter she’d glow in the light of his proposal.

When the weather directed us to a beautiful riverbed Marlon took the lead and helped Kimberly venture further into the landscape with all the chivalry you’d expect from a man in love.

When Marlon knelt down on those uneven rocks she came alive!

Like two kids in love.

There is nothing like the thrill of a helicopter flight, now top that with a ring!

Ok, nothing like a helicopter ride, a ring, and a bottle of bubbly.

Can I just say how gorgeous this ring is? Because I am, this is stunning!

Marlon may have booked the most beautiful and off-the-grid proposal, but it was Kimberly who would float for the rest of the day.

Kyle + Christina | Fraser Valley Engagement Photography

There are people you meet in life that are infectious; their laughter, stories, and personality invite you in and you leave feeling as if you have met your newest best-friend. From our first dinner consultation Christina and I had a blast, and when their engagement session arrived the same beauty and pure joy shone through when Kyle held her in his arms.

They floated effortlessly around the engagement session; an honest giggle turned into a warm embrace, and moved into a tender kiss that was like a delicate dance between two intertwined souls.

Their Spring wedding is going to be amazing, and I am so excited to document it for them, they may just be my favorite!

Braden and Carolynn | Chilliwack Engagement Photography

I love when I get to photograph a friend that I have known since childhood. Carolynn and Braden recently got engaged, and when we went up to Columbia Valley we got to play with some autumn colours, and luckily not bad weather. I cant wait to shoot her wedding in April.

AJ & Michelle | Chilliwack Engagement Photography

Aj and Michelle are an AWESOME couple. Its easy to see once you’ve met them that they are sheer fun and full of adventure. AJ grew up in the Fraser Valley and Michelle moved here from Alberta a couple years back. Individually they are infectious personalities, together they are an unstoppable couple.

They are very much in love and completely enamoured by each other, and I cant wait to shoot their wedding this September!!!

Johan & Kailie | Chilliwack Engagement Photography

Johan and Kailie are one of those couples you have known your whole life. I grew up with both of them from childhood to present, and even though they may not have ‘found’ each other till now, I guess the old saying “they were right under your nose the whole time” really does apply. I couldn’t imagine two people so perfectly made for each other as them. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next month! 

Mike & Andrea | Vancouver Wedding Photography

When Andrea contacted me about shooting her wedding I was beside myself with excitement for my Vancouver bride, we had so many ideas on where to go, and even though the initial engagement session was impromptu we made it work and I fell inlove instantly with their images. I asked Andrea what their love story was, and she was more then kind enough to give us a glimpse into the moment that changed her life for good, the engagement story!

Andrea writes: “We flew over to Palm Springs June 3rd, when we arrived in sunny Palm springs the weather was beautiful the air was crisp and breezy and the temperature was just right! It was around the second night we were watching a local jazz band at the beautiful resort, after a few glasses of red wine and watching an amazing guitar player finish his solo, Mike then asked me to walk around the koi ponds in the area and to glance at the full moon shining that night. We walked over to an uncover patio area staring at this one koi pond that had the moon shining so bright over top of water it was glistening so beautiful !  At that moment mike handed me a penny and had one in his hand and asked me to make a wish at that moment and throw the penny in the beautiful pond (which I did) ! He asked what I wished for , of course I said ‘I can’t tell you or else it will not come true’ I asked him what he wished for , and that is when he pulled the ring out and said ‘for you to be my wife forever and always !’ And the rest follows ….”

I cant wait for their September Wedding at St. Francis and Queen Elizabeth Park!

Much love to both Mike and Andrea ♥
