Alouette Lake Love Story

Aside from everything else I love about being a photographer, wanna know my favourite part of being a wedding photographer? It’s the clients that turn into friends. Almost six years ago, Bradley & Jill entrusted me with their engagement photos in Leesburg, VA and then their wedding photos in New York State. Four-ish years ago we did an anniversary-ish session.  Somwhere along the way, Bradley started his own photography pursuit, they guest posted on my blog about how to take better iPhone photos,  and this summer they came to explore the PNW!

Bradley assisted me at Chloe & Christan’s Point Roberts Wedding, I wore them out trying to see all my favorite corners of the Lower Mainland (sorry, guys! there’s just too much to see!), and I got to photograph their cozy love at Alouette Lake.  My word, you guys. I know I’m not supposed to pick a favourite photo session, but I really really really am tempted to pick this as my new favourite! I specifically took this photo to mimic the sun flare of their engagement session. How’s that for full circle? (No pun intended.)   He loves her so good!  I especially love how well Bradley makes Jill laugh…and how willingly Jill leans into him. Good grief, guys. Can you get any cuter?! I think not.  Using the same boat as Meghan & Jason’s Jones Lake love story, we watched the sun set over the glacier and cuddled in the canoe.  

(Funny story, though: we forgot to bring the paddles for the boat, so I had to position them manually….and had to drag the boat through the water to the spot I wanted it.  No cameras were harmed in the process, but I’m awfully thankful for my Keen water sandals.)
