Marlo & Ryan | Fort Langley Engagement Session

Three things:

1.  This is the second bride named Marlo that we have photographed (I had never heard of anyone with that name before that!) and they are both so sweet, friendly and easy going.   

2.  Ryan and Marlo met at work, just like Gary and I did.  So great to truly know what your partner's day is like.

3. I just love when people find each other.  You never know when and where that will happen and I really enjoy seeing the excitement over a future together.

Enjoy these photos of Marlo and Ryan....

How cute are you two?!  Marlo and Ryan, thank you for choosing us to photograph your day! We're looking forward to your September wedding.

Love,

Louise & Gary

Curtis & Chantal | Fort Langley Engagement Session

This engagement session was pretty awesome.  We went back to where they had their first date; Fort Langley.  We even visited the antique shop that they had gone to!  The lighting was perfect (overcast), the outfits were gorgeous, and the couple was ALL smiles and laughter. Curt and Chantal met several years ago through a mutual friend, dated over the past year,  and are going to be getting married in August. They are so sweet together, and seriously, the smiles? Non stop.  Their wedding is going to be an outdoor one and it sounds like it will be so personalized and picturesque....love it!

Gary and I know Curtis from when he was younger.  I babysat him when he was just a baby (okay, I feel like I'm 100 years old) and Gary coached and taught him.  I love connections like that and I'm thankful that Chantal is good having us on board too :)

There are way too many photos attached here but it's been a while since I've posted a session so it's okay, right?

Congratulations Curt & Chantal! We are really excited about your big day and hope that all the planning goes well.

Love, 

Louise & Gary

Cute, right?  Can you pick a favourite?

Valentine's Photos | Kai, Koen & Nya

I always like to take a few Valentine's Day themed photos of my kids.  I've made the photos into bookmarks in the past and this year, I turned them into magnets.  You never know how each child is going to respond to the 10 minutes of photos I want to take, and in this case, it was Koen who was into it.  Kai said that it was the worst day of his life (although that tends to happen more frequently these days!) and Nya was not interested in having her brothers touch her or come near her.  

By the way, that `booth' is just our old LAKK Ikea table with the legs drilled into the end.  That way we can convert it back to a table when we're done with the stand.  Also, if you are interested in seeing how to turn your photos into magnets in a super easy and affordable way, check it out here.  

This weekend we'll be doing an engagement session at the lovely Lighthouse Park.  I LOVE that location.  

Hope you are doing well and thanks for checking our posts out :)

Love,

Louise & Gary

Lauren & Randy | Granville Island Engagement Session

I've known Lauren for a long time as she was a student that I also coached in ball hockey.  She is a teacher now and has a passion for photography too.  I love seeing past students and I really love seeing them so happy!  Lauren met Randy earlier in 2014 and got engaged just seven months later.  He is such a gentleman and super friendly.  He also really knows how to pick out a wedding ring (I love it!).   We met up at Granville Island at the end of December, which may seem like a crazy time for photos, but it worked really well.  Gary and I are looking forward to their wedding in July...hopefully it doesn't involve messy crepes or Settlers of Catan although I'm sure embarrassing dating stories will be told about them ;)  Actually, crepes at a wedding would be lovely, right?

Enjoy!

Randy and Lauren, thank you so much for choosing us to capture your big day!

Love, Louise & Gary
