Oh my goodness I LOVED this session. SO SO much. We had TONS of fun and it was so nice to just hang out with Dan and Amy – there are amazing people and an absolutely adorable couple! I remember when they first started dating, I was a member of Dan’s youth group at the time, and we were all so happy for him/curious about who she was haha. Turns out she is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. 🙂 And now, look at them! 3 years later (is that right Dan and Amy? haha) they are getting married!! I couldn’t be more excited for their wedding!
I just want to share a summarized version of their proposal story by Amy (because it is so sweet!):
“Dan had planned a special “Hallowe’en Date” for us but didn’t tell me any of the details. All I knew was that we were going to be watching some scary movies. That morning Dan had made a list of things for me to bring: a cooler, rain clothes and gum boots! He ended up driving me to the top of Mt Seymour and led me to a cute cabin in the woods. There he lit a fire, we carved some pumpkins, watched some scary videos, and then he made me dinner. After dinner, he asked if I wanted to watch another video. That video turned out to be a recording of a Skype conversation he had that morning with my parents, asking them for their blessing! Dan got down on his knee and proposed. I laughed through the whole thing, haha! And of course I said yes!!! We ended the evening with some celebratory fireworks in the parking lot.”
Way to go Dan!
For Dan & Amy’s engagement session, we wanted to create a bit of a theme. These are Amy’s words: “The themes for our photo shoot came from things we enjoy. I love to be outside in nature and Dan loves watching films, so why not combine the two? We also both have a love for traveling. My parents even drove across Canada in a van on their honeymoon. So, when Marie mentioned a VW van, we knew that it would be perfect for recreating a road trip together.”
That pretty much sums it up – so take a look at this super fun engagement session!
A BIG thanks to my dear friend; Allissa Best, for assisting me and another BIG thanks to my dad and my boyfriend; Chris Ekren for helping me build the tent! 🙂

Dan made up a song and was singing it to Amy as we were shooting these photos, I wish I could remember the words haha it was so cute/silly. 
This happened naturally and I was so glad I captured it! haha
