A little background on Mary & Stephen first. Mary represents our first hat-trick as we have done engagement sessions (and weddings) for both of her siblings – Carolyn (of Carolyn & Jordan) and Don (of Sarah & Don). A while back we had a promotion when we were launching our Facebook Fan Page for portraits sessions and their mom, Anne, requested one. There was a slight problem though…she lives in Ontario and it was a little difficult to schedule anything. When they were planning on coming out for Sarah & Don’s wedding in July she thought it would be a great chance to use it for a session with her newly-engaged daughter. I really wish we could boast the hat-trick for wedding photography with the Finch family as well but unfortunately they’re getting married across the country in PEI.

We had a great time with you guys and wish you all the best!

Apparently Mary is well-known for this little maneuver…and it looks like Stephen has seen it a few times!

We met up with Sarah and Don this week for their engagement session. If you’ve been following our blog for a while you might recognize Don from Carolyn & Jordan’s wedding back in 2008. It’s neat because we’re going to be hanging out with that crowd twice this summer as Don is Carolyn’s brother and Jaryn is Jordan’s sister. When they arrived we noticed they were driving a 4×4 truck. Now, I clearly realize that when you ask a guy whether or not he wants to take his truck off-roading it’s a rhetorical question but we felt compelled to, just to make sure. Sarah and Don were more than up for an adventure and we spent the afternoon exploring a few of the logging roads in the area. The light was perfect and had a really warm tone to it, almost a spring-like feel (which might explain the lack of snow!).

Here’s a few of my favourites!

It was hard for me to pick a favourite from their engagement session but I think the image below is a top contender!
