Charlene and Josh Outrun a Storm in Steveston During Their Engagement Photos // Victoria Wedding Photographers
Last week was our first time meeting Charlene and Josh in person. We got to know a little about their story over a Skype chat a few months ago, and learned about their elaborate and fun proposal. A day long proposal to be precise. The day he popped the question, Josh sent Charlene on an Amazing Race style scavenger hunt. With a friend in tow to document the adventure, Charlene was sent from place to place, from clue to clue, to end up at the Capilano Suspension bridge where Josh was waiting… to trick her with a bracelet. Later that evening Charlene and Josh met up with family and friends at their church, where Josh proposed (for real) in front of all of them! We loved the story. An adventure proposal?! How amazing is that! Charlene and Josh sounded like a couple we wanted to get in front of our lenses.
Since Charlene is currently doing her residency in Minnesota, we decided it would be a great opportunity to do their engagement photos when she came back in the summer for a week. We had a date picked to meet up in Steveston for a candid picnic themed engagement session. The day we picked was rainy and dark. All. Day. Long. So, we picked our back-up date and that was it, we would do it rain or shine! The day rolled around and it seemed we were going to have a little bit of both: rain and shine. Like troopers, Charlene and Josh braved it all. When we got to Steveston the sky along the horizon looked promising, but the large black, wet looking cloud above us was threatening. We walked and talked with Charlene and Josh (and some curious swans), trying to keep ten steps in front of the rain, quite literally. The looming rain was never able to keep pace, but created such a unique setting for Charlene and Josh’s outing in Steveston. We’re always so grateful that we get to shoot so many couples who are willing to roll with the punches, and embrace the unknown! Afterall, that is one thing marriage is all about.
Thanks Charlene and Josh for being so adventurous, we think it totally paid off! We can’t wait to see what happens on your wedding day, and be there to capture what will surely be an adventure.
