Looking back, I think I had a pretty cool childhood. I grew up on acreage in Surrey – lots of land, but no other kids in sight. (Which may explain my social awkwardness.) :P
My older sister and I resorted to reading, climbing trees, and playing make-believe in the bushes of the overgrown lot next door (aka: fairy glens, secret forts, and magic faraway lands). Rarely a day went by without one of us stepping in a gigantic puddle and running back to the house…
“Mooooommmmyyyy!!!!! I got a SOAKER!”
Yep, that’s what we called them. ’Soaker’. You know, when you step so deep in muddy guck that it fills your ducky (that’s what we called our rubber shoes.) :D
Long story short, this obsession of mine with overgrown abandoned places has transferred into adult life. I love photographing clients in overgrown, wild, out of the way places. So that’s where I met with Sheena and Tyler for their engagement session. Within about ten minutes, I got a soaker AND Sheena got a soaker. Good thing she’s awesome and didn’t freak out in the slightest.
Sheena and Tyler are getting married in an outdoor ceremony in Langley in June (I looooooove outdoor weddings!), and will be my last wedding before I take some time off to get ready for my own. :) They are super cool, totally laid back, and I can’t wait to hang out with them again on their wedding day.
Minus the soakers. :D
P.s. I also made them climb trees. :D
I love this one – according to Sheena it’s pretty rare to catch Tyler with a big smile.
Pretty ring!
Sheena and Tyler – thanks for being so awesome, and for putting up with my random muddy location. :) Can’t wait till the wedding!
I hope you’re all having a fantastic Tuesday.
