Fall Engagement Session at Victoria Park Edmonton

The Engagement Ring and How They Met

This cute couple reminds me of all the medical shows that I have ever watched!! You will soon understand why (PS Medical shows I have watched: Scrubs, Grey’s, House and more!). Courtney and Karl met while Courtney was in nursing school and Karl was in med school. They had mutual friends who definitely helped with the cause! They attended a show together in 2015 and as they say ‘the rest is history!’.

The proposal happened this year on July 8th when Karl, Courtney and Karl’s family went for a hike in Jasper! Karl had already spoken to Courtney’s parents but Courtney had no idea! Karl’s brother did not know either so he wanted to accompany the couple on their hike. Karl’s parents held him back since they were in on the plan! Courtney and Karl eventually found a secluded spot overlooking the mountains. Here, Karl turned on the Bluetooth speaker and played some of Courtney’s favorite music. He went down on one knee and said: “You are my best friend, will you be my forever best friend?”

Courtney said “No no no,”. She then cried and was in shock. Then she said yes!! So now they are getting married next year and Courtney is Karl’s forever best friend (that is so adorable!!!).

The engagement hair and makeup was done by Puneet Ramirez who did a fantastic job and made sure our photos look absolutely amazing!

The Engagement Session at Victoria Park, Edmonton

Courtney and Karl wanted fall engagement photos with a flair for nature and hues of autumn. I suggested several locations to them and they finally choose Victoria Park in Edmonton.

Victoria Park is a beautiful little area located right beside the river valley along the river valley road in Edmonton. It has an outdoor ice rink which we have in the past used for engagement photos as well! During the fall, it has gorgeous colors and beautiful tree canopies. It also has a wooden fence along one edge of the park that makes for an amazing location for photos. We started the engagement session at the Victoria Park right before sunset. We took some photos within the canopies as well as along the fences. At one point, we asked to borrow a fire pit from a couple for some of the photos :P. I do my best to keep the engagement sessions light-hearted and fun. This meant doing goofy and silly things like stethoscope pictures (reminiscent of Scrubs).

Eventually, we moved to the river valley road where we took some photos overlooking the gorgeous sunset and the river valley. We created some beautiful portraits of the couple there! We finally went down to the Three Boars Eatery which is where Karl & Courtney had had one of their first dates. I spoke to the management to see if we could do some photos there and they were so helpful and kind!

The Cutest Couples & The Best Sunset at Muttart Conservatory

The Engagement Ring and How They Met

Brianna & Kris are one of the cutest couples I have ever photographed. They are both nerdy and love start wars! They met at the Alliance Church in Spruce Grove in 2014. They would often hang out after choir and discuss things ranging from Harry Potter to Start Wars. Kris would often take Brianna’s son to rock climbing as well!

This cute couple had its first date at the Muttart Conservatory. Given their affinity for rock climbing, they climbed the Dove of Peace! Kris proposed to Brianna on January 28th, 2017. The bought the ring together and then went to the Van Oyster Bar for dinner. They had oysters the first time and followed that with a walk down Whyte Avenue! They eventually went down to their first date spot, the Muttart Conservatory, where Kris went down on one knee to propose. Somehow, the ring fell down in the snow and both Kris & Brianna had to go searching for it.

The only words Kris had said on his knees were: “I have an important question”
The immediate answer that followed was “Yes!”

Kris, being the amazing gentleman that he is, went to see Brianna’s parents first and got their permission. With their blessing, this couple got engaged and will be getting married really really soon!

The hair and makeup were done by the amazing Hamana of Hamana’s Artistry. She used a palette of beautiful colors that suited Brianna’s outfit and skin tones but also made her look very beautiful! Krist looked equally handsome in his jeans and plaid shirt!

The Engagement Session at Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton

Muttart conservatory is one of the most beautiful spots within the city. With its unique combinations of pyramids and scenic view of the city, it is the perfect spot for engagement photos. I love including places that are sentimental and important to my couples in the photos. In this case, this was the spot where the two love birds had their first date!

I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph Brianna & Kris’s engagement photos and we are really looking forward to joining them on their wedding day.
