It has always been a dream of mine to photograph a proposal. But getting to help plan one and shoot it for two of my very close friends? What more could I have asked for!

Danielle booked a session with me during my I-lost-a-lens-please-help sale and I was so excited to shoot with them as it would be their first shoot together after dating for 4 years. Our original date was when that blizzard came through and none of us wanted to suffer through that so we rescheduled. And it was fate! Dave messaged me that week saying he’d like to propose. I was SO HAPPY!! But also had no idea how we’d be able to keep this from Dani. Secrets aren’t a strong suit for Dave or I.. and I talk to Dani almost every day. So I was stressin’

I knew I wanted this to be special, so I thought about the most special place in Kamloops and BOOM! it popped into my head. Black Box Container Home. PLUS it had the added bonus of being a place that I frequented often enough that it wasn’t out of the ordinary for them to meet me there. I messaged Cathi at Black Box Container Home and she was on board instantly. It was all coming together. When they arrived I went out to meet them with my decoy camera bag and asked Dave for help with something heavy, and Cathi went to take Dani on a tour of the other side of the container home.

And then Dani walked in.

It could not have gone any better, truly. I am so happy for these two! And to be their photographer for their wedding too! I’m a lucky duck.
