HOW DID YOU AND YOUR FIANCE MEET? We met while doing Christian missions in Québec, Canada.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROPOSAL: Alyssa and I went on a hike to celebrate finishing the school year. At the end of the walk, we trekked down to a boardwalk. There was a little wooden bridge in the forest with the sun shining through. Alyssa thought it would be great to ask someone to take a photo of us. Instead of grabbing a camera out of my bag, I pulled out a ring instead!

WHAT WAS YOUR VISION FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS? We left it up to the photographer, and she chose a beautiful golden hour shoot in an open field.
HOW DID YOU CHOOSE THE LOCATION OF YOUR SESSION? We also left this up to the photographer, but we live in Québec, and we wanted to have some of its beautiful landscape as our backdrop.
