Saturday we hung out with Stephanie and Michael at one of our favorite locations for engagement sessions...yepp Granville Island! And although we've been there a bunch of times, we thought we could create something new and fresh. We arrived early and scouted out our old favorites and then kept on searching to see what new corners, nooks and crannies we might uncover.
Stephanie and Michael were so awesome to get to know and work with. They are totally natural in front of the camera... even though they don't think so ;) They were also playful and up for just about ANYTHING... with a little encouragement or course... I mean she was in heels!
This is what we found and created! Enjoy...
Oh.... and PS. The above shot was taken with Barry Calhoun of HipWeddingPhotography's Canon Shift lens.... Yes Canon....GASP! There was a time when we almost changed sides, but our Nikon loyalties prevailed. Thanks Barry for giving us a hand on this one! ;)
A couple of candids...
And some not-so-candids... ;)
Yes we played on the kids playground... They're were no fewer than 20 or so 3-foot-somethings running around us as we shot!
The water park was thankfully not in use yet and we took full advantage of some of the unique spaces we found as a result of the "dry" water park.
Our favorite alley next to Emily Carr...
Here is a shot that Dan was envisioning and with the help of Barry lighting, we got this wicked look. How to make a metal wall look cool? CTB anyone?
Our favorite local crane, great angles and old steal + bright yellow paint = a couple of photographers in love with a really really BIG prop. Sephanie was reluctant to jump on this thing.... She braved it though and after showing them some images on our LCD they wanted to climb on more stuff.
So we went over to the bridge and climbed on some more stuff, oh yeah and took some more pictures! Tested out our new jeep in an under the bridge adventure. The Burrard Bridge is also one of those favorite locations so we dropped in and played around with some poses, lighting and super WIDE lenses!
Well yeah okay, long lenses too...
Cute, we know! So fun and playful!!
A little lighting to look like night.... Well kinda like night...for 3pm at least ;)
And everyone loves to get dizzy!
Thanks so much Stephanie & Michael. Dan had to laugh at the end of this one cause when we started shooting it was all business with the boys. They shook hands and said "good to see you again" in a very properly fashion, but by the end, Dan and Michael were all about the "Man Hugs"!!
We had such a blast guys, looking forward to more good times, fun photos and "Man Hugs," okay maybe not.... if it's too awkward now...JK!
Best,
DK

Absolutely amazing pictures, they're more than we ever could have asked for (definitely man hug worthy). It was so much fun to work with the two of you, can't wait to do it all again on the big day!
