I am SOOOOOO excited to finally be able to share with you our ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS by our amazing photographers Jonetsu Studios!

Yes yes, we got engaged a year and a half ago, but we only just got around to doing our engagement session… what a busy year! Time just flies. Can you believe we are just a week and a half away to our wedding?!?! Just crazy.

This is by far our favourite photo from the day. Allan and I climbed up this 8 ft stone structure in the middle of a park in my dress and his suit! Good thing we both spent lots of time climbing things in our childhood

Jonetsu Photography did this deluxe engagement session with us that took place over the course of an entire afternoon and evening. I am so happy and proud to say they are also our wedding photographers. We absolutely cannot wait to share our special day with them and know that we are in good hands. We are friends with about 6 different couples who have also gotten their photos done with Camille and Chadwick Bensler, and the number one thing they say about Jonetsu is they make you feel both comfortable and beautiful. This was 100% true.

Allan and I were both super nervous going into this shoot and within 5 minutes they made us feel relaxed! They let us focus on the connection with each other instead of worrying about how we were looking or what we were doing. I think it’s resulted in some of the most natural photos Allan and I have ever taken! And that’s saying a lot because anyone who knows me knows I am suuuuuuper posy

Without further ado… here are our engagement photos!

Thank you again so much Camille and Chadwick. We cannot thank you guys enough for being both amazing friends and amazing photographers. We really truly love you.

11 more days till our wedding in Tofino!

What do you guys think of the photos?

The past few days have been very exciting and it’s all just been a blur since the engagement. I feel so lucky to be with Allan and I couldn’t be happier despite the surprise and much earlier timeline than I was expecting.

Although we’re excited about planning the wedding, it’s important for us to remember that at the end of the day… it’s all about us making a serious commitment to each other. So we’re moving forward trying to keep that in the forefront of our minds. Our plan is to get the majority of all our planning done in the next 4 weeks, put deposits down, and then we can relax for the rest of the year. In fact – we’re having a “no wedding talk” policy for weekends and many days during the week to keep our relationship intact.
