Derek and Kristin - Prince George Engagement Photographer

So after a marathon drive from Calgary to Prince George battling tourist traffic (including countless RV's and motorhomes) and crazy amounts of construction I arrived with 30 minutes to spare before I met Kristin and Derek for the first time. I was feeling more than a little flustered, unprepared and hungry for the photo shoot. But I prevailed and let the flustering go away and shot from the hip. The hunger didn't go away until later that night, but I managed!


They were gracious enough to give me a few minutes to figure a few things out and we were off! It helped that Kristin chose one of my favorite PG locations that is a favorite of dog walkers and bikers (the pedalling kind). Kristin mentioned it as a place that she enjoyed walking during summer time and I mentioned that I loved going there with my boys and our bikes. It is one place that we miss alot!


Derek and Kristin have the old facebook (hi5)to thank for their meeting. They had checked out eachother's profiles and then starting chatting on msn. Thank goodness for chatting!


Anyways, long story short, they met online, met face to face and fell in love and in September are making everything official. I am excited for their wedding day and am thankful that they've asked me to be part of it! It was apparent that they are the best of friends and I'm thinking that their future will be one of contentment and peace as they are a perfect fit!

Derek had been away for work for quite a while and one day after work, Kristin discovered a rose on her windshield, then a trail of rose petals in the hall of their house leading to the words "will you marry me?" spelled out in rose petals on their bed. And there sat Derek ready to propose to a shocked Kristin!

Kristin loves Derek's intelligence and that he is driven to accomplish things in life. He is calm when she isn't, and they seem to balance eachother.

Derek loves Kristin's ability to remember things when he can't and her outstanding kindness when others are in tough times.

If you could describe eachother in one word what would it be?

Derek says Kristin is kind.

Kristin says that Derek is smart.

Kristin is looking forward having all their family and friends together to watch them commit themselves to eachother. (minus everyone looking at them!)

Derek is looking forward to exchanging their rings and sharing their vows

with eachother. And sharing their first dance together as husband and wife.

How did you know he was the one?

"It was just a feeling, I just knew that when I met Derek that there was something very special about him and everything has felt right with him ever since."
