When we asked Manj if she had any ideas of where she might like to go for their engagement photo session with us, she emphatically said “Pat and I love fish, could we go to the Vancouver Aquarium!!? Would that work?” And we just loved the idea! Since we always love to personalize our photo sessions, we loved the idea of going somewhere so unique and that had so much meaning for the two of them…. and especially since she describes themselves as “He is the rock to my seaweed.” Too cute!! The Aquarium it had to be! Besides… we’re pretty keen on the belugas ourselves! We spent part of their session in the Aquarium and although our aim was of course, to take lovely photos, it was to give them a great experience. It makes us smile because we know how much these photographs will mean to them. :-)

We spent a lot of our time at the beluga tank! Of course! These belugas are such beautiful and smart creatures who turned out to be really curious of us, which was fun. I’m not sure if we were watching them or is they were watching us!

Pat is originally from Mauritius, so he is really happiest near tropical fish…. and Manj at his side. I now that sounded cheesy, but it’s true, so does that make it still cheesy or not?!

While we preparing for a portrait in front of the tank and the gorgeous blue colour, Qila slowly kept swimming by and insisted on being in their portrait too….. way too cute!!!

Manj and Pat we had a great time with you two during your session- it’s just so much fun laughing with you two all the time! We are totally looking forward to your wedding days coming up in the Fall.

With all this unpredictable weather we’ve been having in Vancouver this summer, we still have to get out there and do our photo sessions and simply work with what we are given. It was looking like rain the morning of Jen + Sergio’s session date, so we chose a location that would work, rain or shine. When we started shooting, it was chilly and rain looked eminent, but it held off. It was just grey skies and nifty looking clouds- great we can work very well with that…. but then suddenly the skies parted, blue sky emerged and wow, did it get warm! Heat wave within 20 min! Awesome! With the multitude of weather and Jen + Sergio’s many change of outfits, we managed to have a real variety in their looks in their session. Here are a select few that we would like to share from their engagement session in the Olympic Village.

Well, what can I say….. we giggled…….. a lot.

We giggled when Adrienne + Andrew brought us warm drinks and doughnuts. :-) We giggled because Adrienne giggled. Andrew laughed, because Adrienne laughed. I laughed, because I just wanted to see more of Adrienne giggling …. and so it went, rather contagious really and oh-so fun. Adrienne is just so wonderfully cute and it’s so easy to see why Andrew is so in love with her. Their love shone through and it was our absolute pleasure to photograph them for their engagement photo session with them in English Bay. Justin and I had so much fun on that lovely summer morning with Adrienne and Andrew, that we just can’t wait until their wedding next month! So looking forward to it! :-)

On the longest day of the year, we met up with Crystal and Lester for their evening engagement session in Gastown. We all had a good laugh at the fact that we had chosen this day for an evening session and had to wait for the latest sunset all year! Oh well, it gave us a chance to have a bit of a daytime look to their session, enjoy a nice cool drink on a patio together and continue shooting when the sky was dark enough. Here are a few photographs we would like to share with you from their session.

Thanks to Krisztian, we popped into the new Milano Coffee Roasters location on Powell St.

Adorable!

We had a fun evening with you two! steff + justin
