For those of you that have been waiting for our engagement photos, here they come!!! We went to Lake Minnewanka for the photos (Dad's suggestion). It was so pretty up there, it was a great pick.
As some of you may know my parents love taking photos!! Both my parents are exceptional at different things regarding photography. My mom is good at taking a lot of quick shots to catch the moment, while my dad is amazing at composing beautiful shots (although a TAD slower). They recently bought a reflector that they hadn't had a chance to use yet so we brought that along too (below). Having a reflector was a little weird at first but eventually we got used to it and it was like it wasn't even there.
Step one was to apply lipstick obviously!! Mom was teasing that Taya's lips are so big it took forever to cover them with lipstick...
Another behind-the-scenes shot of Dad taking pictures. The lake was so beautiful, but we had a tricky time getting it in the pictures.
Part way through the shoot Corey got a hold of a camera and was instantly hooked. He couldn't stop snapping shots after that... and they're really good!! We might have yet another photographer in the family.
Corey managed to catch some head shots of everyone. (Clockwise: Dad, Mom, Kyle, David)
Testing the light, trying to find the perfect spot.
Corey and his boyfriend, David. We figured since we were all there we would get some pictures of Corey and David too.
The photographers at work.
Kyle leading us into the woods. This is actually where we ended up taking most of the pictures. The light was diffused and we could use the reflector to brighten our faces if needed.
Can you spot the Corey-bear in the woods?
Fooling around in the parking lot.
And here are our favourites of the real engagement shots!!!
Over-the-threshold pose...
Back-to-back pose...
This is actually from the leaning pose at a different angle when we thought the pictures weren't being taken and Kyle was pretending he was going to fall off the tree. We were laughing so hard!
We think we want to cut this shot a little more panoramic and get it put on a canvas for our family photo wall.
This one was also taken when we thought the cameras we down and we were just sharing a moment in the forest.
The last two seem to be the crowd favourites so far... but we are still torn. We love something about all of them.
Which one is your favourite???
Taya and Kyle
