Stephanie + Mark // Sea to Sky Engagement Session, North Arm Farm

2017-05-13_0001.jpg

Stephanie and Mark are full of adventure, so we really wanted their engagement session to reflect that. These two had hoped to get married at North Arm Farm, but the distance was too far for their families, so we opted to have their engagement session there instead! We stopped along the sea-to-sky highway at locations that reflected everything they love about BC. Whytecliff Park, where the ocean meets the rugged west coast cliffs. Squamish, where rivers cut through mountains and forests. And finally, Switzerland, I mean... Pemberton, BC, where it feels like you're in the Swiss Alps. 

When I first met Stephanie for coffee, I learned that her fiancee is actually from the same town as Nova Scotia as me, which is a pretty huge coincidence! Mark and I bonded over growing up in Bedford, Nova Scotia throughout this entire road trip. We quickly stopped in at Whytecliff Park to get some seaside images of these two.

Afterwards, we hopped back in the car and headed to Squamish, where we walked along the river and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the trails.

After a brief stop for dinner in Whistler (at my all time favorite pizza place, Creekbread), we arrived in the Canadian version of the Swiss Alps at North Arm Farm in Pemberton, BC. This wedding venue was kind enough to arrange a time for us to come and do these engagement photos while the sun was setting, and it was beyond anything my brain could have expected. Talk about beautiful! We especially loved the swings and tire swing on this farm, I could have spent all evening swinging away and looking at that view.

After a perfectly long and beautiful day, we drove home as the sky started to turn pink and stars started to appear.

Anna + Jeff // Squamish Engagement Session

Anna and Jeff are a pure riot. I think my cheeks are still recovering from our time together a few days ago! The three of us were instantly at home with one another and spent the night cracking jokes and unveiling our silly sides (and Anna has the best and biggest silly side I have ever seen).
