Let me start off by saying these two are pure magic together.
Their chemistry is undeniable and the way they connect is truly inspiring. Just imagine 2 characters from a Nicholas Sparks novel - that’s them. They are both so genuinely happy, funny, beautiful and engaging humans to be around. They said they were nervous, but I couldn’t sense anything, the way they moved together and fed off each other was enchanting. They definitely gave me life again after such a long hiatus with covid19.
I was originally supposed to have a wedding on the day they had planned to get married, but due to covid19 it was pushed forward to next year, leaving me available to take on their day- which gave me the absolute pleasure of having the chance to meet these two.
We spent an evening shooting their engagement session in Kananaskis.
No matter how many times I go out there, I am always amazed with the landscape. I love the dramatic effect it creates as a backdrop for images. We are so lucky to have such a picturesque place so close to home.
The spot we went in particular is my favorite. It has many different looks in a short span. It begins on a tree lined path that leads to a grassy meadow that connects to the beach. So many different spots to shoot, and you bet we spent time in each one.
The mood was light, fun, and so playful. If you have had a session with me, you know that I chat the entire time… (sorry ;0 ) but it is such a great way to get to know you even more and build that comfort between you and my camera.
Even though the weather was overcast and threatening rain, we didn't care knowing we didn't have too many chances to do this session. After a little while, and already feeling like I'd captured more than enough for them, it indeed started raining. As the rain came down harder we decided to walk back and call it a day. As we got to our cars, the sun suddenly peeked out and the raindrops sparkled like diamonds as they came down. Naturally we turned around and continued -and it was absolutely worth it.
To say I enjoyed my time with them is an understatement. I loved how this session turned out, and DO NOT apologize for oversharing photos! It was truly an honour to capture their love on this day, as well as on their wedding day - which I'm still working on and can't wait to share!
