mat + leigh-ann {lighthouse park engagement photography}

We ended the session just how it started, with warm hugs and excitement for what is to come. I am absolutely nuts for this couple. Leigh-Ann and I had our phone consult several months back and I hung up gushing to Steve about how sweet she was. She regularly leaves encouraging comments on my blog, and when we finally met in person a couple weeks ago she bounded up to us brimming with joy and welcome. And then there's her man. Mat matches Leigh-Ann quite perfectly - he is thoughtful, warm and funny and laid-back. Together, their chatter and affection is easy and genuine. One of the most magical moments of our session was spotting a beautiful owl, as we walked the trails. Matt was so excited about it, and made sure to tell others we ran into, to make sure they had a chance to glimpse it too.
The session took place at Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver and I was so excited that Steve was able to shoot this one with me. If you have never been to this spot, I highly recommend a visit. Mat + Leigh-Ann wanted a west coast feel to their session and the park was the perfect choice.
Mat + Leigh-Ann ~ When we left that night, I told you that our evening felt like a fun double date with friends. Thank you for being yourselves and introducing us to this awesome location. We are so excited that we get to share your wedding day with you in a few months. Until then, I hope you love your photos :)
