I had my doubts that the colour was going to last long enough. Worried when we set up the time for the engagement pictures that we were going to be scouring the woods for the last little bit of colour. Last year all of the leaves in the Valley were down by the beginning of October (right Holly?) so I was sceptical that we could hold out until mid to late October. Turns out that I know very little, as we had a spectacular fall – the colour has been unreal; and we are getting our second wave of it now as the tamaracks come through.

We had a great time wandering around with Megan and Rafal and getting to know them a little bit. People always look at us like we are crazy when we tell them that the photos are of secondary importance from the engagement session. Great wedding photos are so much easier to capture and create when you are comfortable with your photographer. So to help that along, we go out and act a little goofy, and wander the woods for a couple of hours. Megan was making fun of me by the end, so I can only assume that we were successful in our goal. I can’t wait until their wedding up at Island Lake Lodge next September!

I hope you enjoy the photos!
