Sarah & Johnny’s Victoria Engagement Session

Sarah and Johnny first met in elementary school, but it wasn’t until high school that their connection deepened. From friendship to romance, their story is rooted in shared memories, inside jokes, and a love for cozy evenings, mountain getaways, and meaningful conversation.

Their engagement session took place in beautiful downtown Victoria, BC, with stunning backdrops of the BC Legislature, Inner Harbour, and Fairmont Empress Hotel. With iconic architecture, blooming gardens, and waterfront views, this shoot captured both elegance and intimacy—perfect for couples planning a romantic Victoria wedding.

Sarah and Johnny are an adventurous, down-to-earth pair. They snowboard, road trip, and love exploring places like Greece and the Okanagan Valley together. They bring out the best in each other: Johnny adds light and laughter, while Sarah grounds their relationship with a calm and thoughtful energy.

Their summer wedding at the Fairmont Empress will feature an outdoor ceremony and an elegant reception in the Shaughnessy Ballroom—a dream venue for timeless, romantic weddings in BC. I’m so thrilled to capture their big day and tell more of their love story.

This Victoria engagement session was filled with joy, laughter, and all the warmth of two people completely at home with one another.

Here’s to celebrating love, laughter, and everything that makes these two so magnetic!

She does this adorably cute scrunchy face when she is settling into his arms, comfortable and secure. She looks up at him sheepishly with butterflies still in her tummy after all these years and makes the face. He grabs her and plays with her in his arms - smiling that he can too be comfortable and silly with his girl.

Angie is really good friends with my sister in law - Nicky and was a bridesmaid at her wedding. She told me it's hard to get a great photo of her (mission, accomplished in Meixco at Ric & Nicky's wedding). And then Brad & Angie both tell me - "just so you know we're terrible in front of the camera, we don't photograph well"....

Yup. uh, huh. LIARS! Angie and Brad are naturals in front of the camera for those beautifully canid playful moments of real genuine smiles and laughs. They are the ideal couple to photograph because they know how to let loose and 'play'. When you feel comfortable with your photographer, as a couple it will be so much easier for you to let loose and play.

So go on, and go wrestle your spouse on the couch, kiss them all over their cheeks, steal a piece of their cake, give them a tap on the rear, pick her up when she's washing the dishes - please just never forget to 'play'.
