Heather + Dan ~ Engagement Session

This weekend my husband and I went to Banff with Heather and Dan for Starbuck's coffee, a fantastic lunch, a couple hours of great conversation and amazing photography. 

Their story: 

Dan surprised Heather with a trip to Banff a few months ago and despite all of the obstacles that she threw his way, he was finally able to get her all to himself and propose. She of course said yes and they are getting married later this year on November 8, 2008.

I am thrilled to be able to photograph their wedding. Dan and Heather are so much in love and are so perfect for each other. You can just tell that this is forever.

I love big, environmental shots and this image illustrates the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains perfectly. 

I love the texture of the mountain rock in this image.

Heather and Dan brought me to this very cool location which had ruins of an old mining town. We had so much fun exploring the old buildings and train tracks. There were so many cool textures and backdrops to photograph. This image just happens to be one of my favorites from the day - a private moment between Heather and Dan.

One of the first things that Heather and Dan expressed to me was their dislike of having their pictures taken. Why is it that the people who claim to be "shy" always end up being the most photogenic??? Needless to say, they eventually came out of their shells ;)

I love this shot of Heather's incredible engagement ring! Nicely done, Dan.

I love this entire series we did in the tall grass, especially the quiet moments between Heather and Dan.

Our session had officially wrapped when I spotted this amazing wood building and I just HAD to use it for a few pictures. The color was incredible and totally brings out Heather's blue eyes. You guys make a gorgeous couple. Thank you for humoring me and my "inspirations"!

Congratulations and I can't wait for your wedding in November!!!
