Choosing the right location for your engagement photos is essential! Downtown Vancouver offers a vibrant backdrop filled with character and charm.

Starting Off at Portal Park

We kicked off the day at Portal Park​​, a lovely little oasis in the city. As soon as we arrived, we had an encounter with an older couple named Roy and Kathy. Their warmth and genuine connection made my heart MELT! There’s something so special about witnessing love that has stood the test of time.

Roy and Kathy shared their wisdom with Amanda and Neyvone, offering sweet relationship advice that I was fortunate enough to capture on video. They said, “Always make time for each other, no matter how busy life gets.” Moments like this remind me why I love my job!

Capturing the City Vibes

As we continued our adventure, we stopped at intersections for some classic city vibe shots. I was standing in the middle of the median of a busy downtown intersection, dodging traffic to get that perfect shot of Amanda and Neyvone walking across the street! 😂 The energy of the city paired with the magic of their love made for stunning images!

As we continued to Coal Harbour, the sunset provided the perfect backdrop for our final shots of the day. This spot truly brought everything together, offering a picturesque view that added a touch of romance to the session.

Tips for Your Downtown Engagement Photos

  1. Choose the Right Time: The golden hour—just before sunset—is ideal for capturing the best light. This soft, warm glow enhances your photos and creates a romantic vibe.
  2. Diverse Locations: Downtown Vancouver offers an array of settings. I can help you choose spots that provide unique backdrops and perspectives, ensuring a variety of images that reflect your personality as a couple!
  3. Be Playful and Relaxed: Embrace the spontaneity of the city! The more relaxed and playful you are, the more authentic your photos will be. Don’t be afraid to laugh and enjoy the moment!
  4. Dress for the Setting: Choose outfits that complement the urban vibe. Whether you opt for casual or polished looks, make sure you feel confident and comfortable.
