Jason and Alina | Aug 20th

Jason is my old co-worker, and this is my SECOND (!!!) time shooting with them :) Alina and Jason got engaged earlier this year, and are getting hitched next July! But they love photos, and are taking a kajillion engagement photos. :3

They are super adorable and sweet together, with Jason being silly, and Alina loving his silliness. We shot at Ambleside in North (or West?) Vancouver. Is there anything better than sunset at a beach? Nope.


This totally reminds me of promotional posters for Asian dramas...


Yay for logs on a beach.


I've always wanted to do a shot like this! Finally did.


Super adorable! :) <3 <3 <3


Reflectors are also a must! (For happy, bright photos like this one!)

Thanks again, Jason and Alina! We'll probably shoot again before you guys get married! ;D

Katie and Carlos | July 22nd

I had the pleasure of taking engagement photos of one of my best friends from high school, Katie, and her husband, Carlos. They had gotten married in France already (he's from there), but they've recently come back home to prepare for an August ceremony in Vancouver [which I will be shooting!]. We went to Burnaby Mountain Park, on the night of fireworks, so there were lots of people there. They are super sweet together, and I'm a little bit jealous that they are both moving to France after their ceremony here! Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to visit them!

Warning: this post has more images than usual!!

I love diptychs....


They are just so happy together!


Jumping shots are a necessity..


Thank you, sunset.





I can't get enough of triptychs...


Bokeh is also another love of mine.








Swings were meant for two





Mm, lens flare...


I think Katie's expression in this photo is priceless!


Thanks, you two! And you know who I'll be calling when I book my vacation to France!

Jason and Alina | June 27th

Right after my shoot with Haylee, I had an engagement shoot with Jason and Alina. I know Jason from my old co-op job from 2006. Him and Alina's wedding is in 2010, but they've been doing so many engagement sessions. (That's what happens when you have a lot of photographer friends!!)

Alina and Jason playing hide and seek. Kind of :]


On the AQ steps


I love Alina's laugh in this one!


This was my favourite from the session. It's 3 photos compiled lengthwise ;D
