Megan and Joe wanted to do an engagement session at a place that had meaning to them. They recently moved to Victoria and walk their dogs a lot at Thetis Lake. We tried to do a session in December, but the weather was pretty terrible, so we ended up meeting up last Sunday instead. I’m glad we waited for a decent day, because we ended up spending around two hours hiking around and stopping for photos. The dogs were a bit hard to handle and photobombed a lot of photos, but we got a few with them actually looking at the camera. Calling their names didn’t work; it just made them run in my direction. I’m sure they’ll be very entertaining at the wedding.
We all had a lot of fun wandering around, getting some exercise climbing hills, and laughing about how silly posing for photos feels.
Jessica and Edward met me at Thetis Lake a few weeks ago. They brought their dog too, who was in heaven, running all over the place and swimming in the lake. I didn’t get a chance to get to know these guys too well before the session, but it turns out they’re awesome. They were willing to climb on big rocks and walk across a railing (including a chain part) to get out to a little island. I’m getting really excited about their wedding plans and I know the wedding day portraits are going to go so well, because aren’t these engagement shots adorable? Yes, yes they are.
