cate.matt|perpetual

this is cate and matt.  truly a force to be reckoned with - this pair of karate champions mean business.  i was fortunate enough, however,  to catch them on a day when it was all play!

white rock holds a special place in their hearts and so we rushed off to crescent beach to capture some moments and document their story.

 

first a little depth-of-field (pardon the pun)

  

 the layering in this photo really made them stand out (not like they need any help)

  

a fun couple in a beautiful field - the perfect recipe

  

a little blue reduction

  

 standing on the edge of bliss

  

 i've been waiting so long to do the perfect sunset photo - with cate and matt, there were so many "perfect" photos it was hard to choose just one

  

 ... so here's another

  

... and another!

  

 it was obvious how absolutely meant-for-each-other they were

  

 yeah, i know - HOT

 

congratulations, you two!  i can't wait for the ceremony and reception - i'll be there to capture the beginning of the rest of your lives together!

lysa.javi|fun

lysa and javi - even the way their names are spelled tells you that this isn't your everyday couple. they were a bit hesitant to have their photos taken, but a pair this good-looking deserves to have the spotlight on them!

for their location, they chose a patch of land called spanish banks, which hosts a great off-leash dog area. this was the perfect place for "honey," their canine companion, to run around and just be a dog.

i knew my first beach session ever was off to a good start when the first frames from my camera looked like this

this is lysa's favourite (and definitely one of mine as well!)

loved the red coat

by the time we were done with the session, i could see they were a lot more relaxed being in front of the camera. you could tell how laid-back they really were and that they knew how to have fun. congratulations, you two, can't wait to see the wedding photos!
