joel + jenny {island view beach engagement photography}

This is a special one to me folks! As some of you know, our business now operates both on Vancouver Island and in Greater Vancouver (and in Hawaii if you like!). And while we have shot some family + engagement sessions on the island, we had yet to book a wedding...until now!! Joel and Jenny will be married next summer at the lovely Sooke Prestige Oceanfront Resort and Steve and I have the privilege of photographing their wedding. We were also both able to shoot their engagement session at a favourite spot of ours and theirs - beautiful Island View Beach. The session landed on one of the last few stunning evenings of fall and I'm so glad that this light and warmth was the backdrop for this sweet couple.

 

 

jay + kyla {victoria engagement photography}

He picked her up at the bar on his birthday..but is quick to point out that was never his usual angle. It seems though, that Kyla was different, and he sensed it off the bat. After a long distance relationship and years of being a couple, these two are going to make it official next summer...and we have the honour of being their photographers. We first met Jay + Kyla while photographing the wedding of their good friends Sarah + Davin, and last month met up again in downtown Victoria for this engagement session.  We were so excited that we had managed to avoid the rain, but we hadn't counted on the wind ! Personally, I think these two deserve a pair of Oscar's for these photos. It was seriously cold and gusty out there. Thankfully they had each other and a warm embrace to carry them through...
