Solmaz and Sasha visited Victoria at the end of August to get married at the Inn at Laurel Point. I love elopements where it’s just two people in love. The awesome Iain Hooey officiated and provided a second witness (I got to be one too). We headed to the parliament buildings to take some portraits on a sunny day with cruise ship traffic and tourists galore. I think it was a great choice.
Jasmine and Nathan met me bright and early at 7am for a downtown mini session. I don’t know how she looks so gorgeous and put together at that time of day, but I was definitely glad that I wasn’t the one in front of the camera. These two are getting married next weekend, so it was great to be able to capture their engagement before the big day.
Sara and John visited Victoria in January, as a little break from the winter weather in Alberta. John even wore his flip flops for the shoot (and likely for the entire visit). They brought some props to help set the stage for engagement announcements. We wandered around downtown from the parliament buildings to the library courtyard to The Atrium and back to the parliament buildings at night. It was a fun session to get me back into shooting for the year.
We stopped into Poppies in The Atrium and the couple asked if they could borrow a flower for John to give to Sara. The woman there gave them a rose and told them to keep it, which was super nice of her.
