Chloe & Marco: Stanley Park Engagement Photography in Vancouver

Chloe and Marco started beneath the trees at Stanley Park. We made a few portraits, then let them walk across the lawn together.

Chloe’s veil and bouquet gave the photos a pre-wedding feel, but the moments I like most are the ones between poses.

As Chloe lifted her dress to cross the grass, Marco carried her bouquet. It’s the kind of little moment I look for between the portraits.

By the seawall, they walked beneath Lions Gate Bridge as a seaplane crossed overhead. I like that the setting is unmistakably Vancouver, yet they’re still just moving together.

There’s also a small “Mr & Mrs” card in the later frames. It’s one personal detail among all that open space.

Tiffany & Jason: An Adventure with Their Dog at Pitt Lake

The Sincere Journey to Pitt Lake with Their Best Friend

For Tiffany and Jason, their love story isn’t just about the quiet moments—it’s about the adventure they share. That’s why we chose Pitt Lake, one of Vancouver’s most dramatic and naturally beautiful engagement locations, for their photoshoot.

The day was made even more special by the presence of their beloved dog, who joined them for a truly pet-friendly adventure. Surrounded by the vast mountains and the serene lake, we focused on capturing the raw, genuine connection between them. From intimate moments by the water to dramatic drone shots across the landscape, every frame documents a story of sincere and enduring love.

This is Pitt Lake Engagement Photography—bold, natural, and truly them.

Rachael and Desmond at Lake Louise

Desmond and I spent several months preparing for his proposal to Rachael at Lake Louise. We wanted to keep the preparations a surprise for her. The lake is in Banff National Park, with snowy mountains across the turquoise water and evergreen trees along the shore.

Lake Louise was crowded that day. We were nervous as we looked for a suitable spot and worked together to keep the preparations quiet. The whole process was exciting and fun, but it also felt rushed. There was a lot to organise without spoiling the surprise.

Desmond kneels in front of Rachael and holds out the ring. She brings a hand to her face, then reaches towards him. The closer photographs show him placing it on her finger. There are smiles and hugs beside the lake. Rachael also raises her ring hand for an instant camera, with the snowy mountains behind her.

Along the rocky shore, they hold hands, look across the lake and sit together by the water. This part of the session moves between wide mountain views and closer portraits. The lake stays in view as they turn towards each other or sit on the rocks.
