Rachael + Jackson // cement playground

I have followed Rachael’s photography work for several years now - her bright, filmy, fresh photo work in families and weddings has inspired me lots over the years. We connected a few months back and made a plan for her to visit in Vancouver (she’s Victoria based) and trade sessions - she’d recently gotten engaged to her beau Jackson! Arron had this amazing spot in mind with cool shapes and urban vibe that I thought would be really fun to explore and shoot around. Rachael and Jackson were up for anything and it was so great to easily fall into shooting and trying new things as we worked together.

Engagement or couples shoots don’t always have to be out in nature (of course I love it out there too!) - but finding a unique or unexpected location or activity can sometimes bring the fresh-est inspiration and imagery! I could’ve photographed in this location all day long - the angles, shapes, and spaces made for an inspiring afternoon. Seriously it was just so refreshing to experiment!
