The views from the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish, BC are nothing short of breathtaking… that is, on a clear day. If 2021 brought us anything here in BC, it was truly, utterly, unpredictable weather. The weeks leading up to this surprise proposal session, we didn’t get many dry days… which is just one of the reasons I loved this couples session so much!
R & S stopped by Squamish and took a tour up the Sea to Sky Gondola on their way to Whistler, all the way from Winnipeg – so trust me, the timing for the sun could not have been better. Meeting clients that you’ve never met, ahead of one of the most exciting, and important moments of their lives is always anxiety-inducing, but R was sneaky, texting me what colour their clothes were, and when they got to the gondola at the bottom. S said she saw me getting onto my gondola going up, and I can imagine her thinking that I must have looked sick with nerves! Once I got them in my frame, it was all good, and we had a blast. We toured the trails, and played in the beautiful snow after she got that absolute stunner of a ring on her finger!
These two have been friends forever, meeting at a part-time job in University, but not becoming involved for a few years after that. Having been together for seven years, these two definitely know how to make each other laugh.
When asked what a favourite memory they shared was, their response was all of their travels together – including this trip! How could it not be, with the Hallmark day we had!
They didn’t stop smiling the entire time we spent together, and I could tell their sense of humour and love of life was a common ground for them. S’s family was invited along for the trip, and we made our way around to the lookout at the Lodge, to fake them out with a pretend proposal – I loved getting to witness the joyful family celebration immediately afterwards.
Thank you, R&S, for this lovely day – I wish you all the best in planning your wedding, and I can’t wait to see images of it!
