Usually engagement sessions are scheduled in the months leading up to a wedding once a couple becomes engaged. But in this case, Andrew took the idea of engagement session literally. He was planning on popping the question to Mairead where they met at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, so we strategized a few days before and came up with a plan to have the moment captured with photos. The plan basically involved me being out of sight spying on the couple as things unfolded. I’m sure that I looked out of place – standing in the wet weather, dressed in black, tucked behind a tree with camera gear in hand, waiting … and as they approached, I noticed their umbrella read “merde, il pluet” – how fitting. She said yes and it was a perfect moment – and thankfully, campus security didn’t stop by and ruin my cover …
Those who have worked with me know how I love to capture those “real” moments, so I have to say, it was a pretty exciting shoot for me – I’m sure Andrew would agree for his own reasons! Congrats guys and I look forward to ringing in 2011 with you at your New Year’s Eve wedding.
