PORTRAITS | Jen & Brad | White Rock Portrait Photography

I am so stinking happy with these it’s just silly.  I love love love fall, but even more than fall, I love shooting couples like this.  (This looks like an engagement session, but Jen and Brad are actually happily married with two adorable children.)

Right now Adam (my fiance) and I are almost finished our Marriage Prep courses (to be married in a Catholic Church you have to take some  prep classes).  One thing they stress a lot at these classes is that marriage is something that you constantly work at.  One of the couples that came in to speak to us at a class really stressed the point that even when you have kids, you have to keep your relationship with each other your priority (even over the children).  Their logic for this is that if you don’t, you will drift apart – and end up not providing a good loving example for the kids anyway.  I thought that was a really good point.  So then along came Jen and Brad, providing a real life example of just that.  I think that it’s the coolest thing ever that in the midst of raising two busy little ones they managed to remember how important their relationship is, and to book a portrait session with just the two of them.

We met up a little before sunset at one of my new favourite locations in White Rock:

Apparently this field was crawling with spiders.  Jen is not a huge fan of spiders.  Thank goodness the only one who noticed them was Brad, and he kindly waited until we were out of the field to let us know (cause I’m a pretty big fan of these shots):

I swear I didn’t even notice this spider web when I shot this  (it came out a lot more pronounced after editing than in the original image).  Might have been a good clue as to spiders being in the field though.  :P

I like sun a lot, but cloud cover sure is nice for shots like this.  Did I mention I love fall?

Pretty pretty Jen.

We found this cool semi old car and junk pile on our walk.  I was pretty stoked.

Love this.

And this.

Thanks again you guys, I hope you love them as much as I do!
