Kim & Dave’s Engagement Session with Nouvelle Photography

In April, Vancity VendorNouvelle Photography sponsored a free engagement session giveaway on Vancity Bride. A lovely bride-to-be named Kim won and part of the prize includes having her engagement session featured here on my blog! Kim and her hubby-to-be Dave will be getting married in just a couple of months (August 2nd, to be exact). They chose to have their shoot at Lynn Valley Canyon for sentimental reasons. Dave grew up in Lynn Valley and his parents still live within walking distance of the canyon. They have many fond memories, having grown up in the area so there was no question that it was the perfect place to spend some time in. Without further ado… here are Kim and Dave’s photos, as captured by the very talented Jessica Kuan. Thank you again Jessica for sponsoring this amazing contest.

A Few Words With Kim…

How did you and Dave meet?
“We actually met as roommates! (I joke we met on Craigslist…because technically it’s true!) I had moved to Vancouver a few months before and was looking for a place in Kits and he was looking for a new roommate. We got along really well, I moved in and after a month and a half of becoming really good friends we realized there was something pretty special between us. Just over 3 years later we got engaged!”

How did Dave propose?
“Dave proposed in our apartment on April Fool’s day last year. But thankfully he wasn’t fooling We went to his parents after for our weekly Sunday night dinner and announced the news to them and celebrated with some sparkling wine!”

What is your wedding going to be like?
“Our wedding will be at the Brock House on the North Lawn with the reception under the tent. We used to live a few blocks away and would walk through Jericho quite often, so that area has a lot of meaning to us. It’s a beautiful setting that really highlights Vancouver (mountains, ocean – what more can you ask for?) so I’m really looking forward to sharing that setting with all my friends and family travelling from Ontario. We both love to travel and love the outdoors, so we are having a bit of a travel rustic theme to it. Our invitations were boarding passes and we will be incorporating the travel theme (and photos from our travels) into the guestbook, table names and seating chart. (We are also planning a delayed honeymoon trip in November/December for 6 weeks to Nepal, India and Sri Lanka!)”
