Vancouver Engagement shoot by Christie Graham

How did it get to Friday already? If anyone has any tips on how to get a lot of work done with a puppy around I would LOVE to hear them!! Please send them my way. Honestly I think we have chosen one of the most energetic breeds!! Yesterday despite a 40min walk in the morning and an hour of playing on the beach she still wasn't completely wiped out. So much for puppies sleeping a lot!! I let her off leash for the first time on the beach which was all going swimmingly until we walked past people eating their lunch and she decided she should have been invited to their party. So she invited herself and proceeded to eat their lunch!! Awesome!

We're finishing the week with this lovely engagement shoot from Christie Graham. I love the wilderness feel of this shoot, and what's more the story of how they met is ultra romantic as Christie tells us...

Genuine. Kind. Spirited. Ben and Raquel are all of those things. They were top ten in Global TV's win a dream wedding, and why wouldn't they be? They radiate a unique energy and beauty that draws everyone to them. I know that's what happened with me. I saw them on the news one night and was planning the engagement session already. A creative hippie inspired shoot.

Ben and Raquel fell in love on a beach in Thailand, after knowing each other for only a short while. Ben spent his last pennies following Raquel to the next island, and without her contact information, he tracked her down and from then on, knew he couldn't let her out of his sight. That he didn't. Ben immigrated to Canada from New Zealand and proposed. From here on out its fresh vegetable juice and guitars, Volkswagens and Buddha's. Love.
