Sometimes first impressions are wrong!- Carol and Vince Engagement Session

My first meeting with Carol and Vince had me walking away thinking that they were a lot of fun to be with and that they were quiet and reserved. Boy.....was I wrong!  Not on the fun to be with part because I had a great evening with them, but on the quiet and reserved part!  I had planned out in my head as to how I was going to approach their photo session and get them to relax infront of the camera.  No such worries!  From the moment I caught the first image to the very last they were comfortable, relaxed and enjoying their time together.

I always like asking my couples how they met and how they got engaged as it gives them a little time to reflect on their relationship and why they fell in love in the first place.  Sometimes planning a wedding can take over every waking moment and it's nice to take a step back and just spend time together.  And that's what I hope to do with these engagement sessions, provide some time to get close, relax and have a good time.

Carol and Vince met online and dated for a couple years before Vince decided that it was time to make things more permanent.  One morning the beach in Victoria, Vince pulled out a ring and asked Carol is she would be his forever.  Carol said yes and I'm certain flashed her gorgeous smile at him right before she jumped into his arms.

These two were so much fun to spend time with, I had to laugh at their failed attempts to call a rabbit over in the middle of our shoot and I sooooo enjoyed capturing Carol's laughing face (just beautiful!).  I'm really looking forward to their wedding this September and watching them commit their lives to each other.
