Those of you who have been following along on our photography journey since the beginning know that Vancouver Island holds a special place in our hearts, to finally have the opportunity to photograph a beautiful sunset engagement session in downtown Victoria was a dream come true.  

There are very few locations here in BC that are quintessentially more West Coast than the stunning Mystic Beach which is the perfect location for any engagement session on Vancouver Island. If ocean views, enormous rock walls, old growth forests, waterfalls and crashing waves don’t scream West Coast Engagement vibes, then truly nothing else will.

Without question one of our most memorable evenings this past season has been helping these two beautiful humans celebrate and when they mentioned that UBC held a special place in their hearts, we immediately knew there would be no better spot for a stunning sunset engagement session then the stunning campus and beautiful beaches home to UBC in Vancouver.

We have always been drawn to and taken inspiration from the beautiful landscape that is home to living on the West Coast, and when N + C suggested taking the family boat out on the water in search of some cliffs on Gambier Island to watch the sunset for their engagement session, we almost fainted with excitement. One of the most common questions we are asked when assisting our couples with planning and coordinating their engagement session is ‘where should take our photos’ and while we take pride in our growing list of beautiful local spots, It was the cliffs of Gambier Island and the stunning provincial park in Halket Bay that will stand out as being perhaps the most beautiful west coast engagement session location we have ever adventured to.

This stunning sunset engagement session at West Vancouver’s Whytecliff Park is the perfect reminder of how incredible evening engagement sessions on the west coast can be.

In a year filled with so much uncertainly, countless unknowns and endless struggle, the 2020 Vancouver Wedding Photography season brought us what we can only describe as being an entire year of beautiful celebrations, and without a doubt served as a reminder that the best weddings are not those with the largest guest lists.

Golden hour engagement sessions at Pitt Lake are truly second to none. When we started chatting with Jami + Matt about their session, they knew immediately that they wanted a beautiful beautiful west coast backdrop and some stunning evening lighting.
