Cultus Lake Engagement │ Angie & Alex

These two. SERIOUSLY. Hilarity from start to finish!! We started their engagement session at Alex’s dad’s property, up in Columbia Valley. So unbelievably gorgeous up there. But it was the morning, and it was COLD. And right before I showed up, Angie had bailed down a hill and gotten her skinnies completely muddied up!! Thank goodness she had decided to bring a change of clothes!! And she just laughed it off – no big deal. LOVE my drama-free peeps 😀
We weren’t sure whether or not we were going to go down to the river. The leaves are pretty much off the trees, and it’s starting to look pretty dead and wintery out there. But I was just out scoping this spot with a week before this for a wedding I 2nd shot for her, and knew shots along the water would be beautiful. So we took a stroll down to the river, and despite my nervous rambling about them watching their step, watch out for those slippery rocks! don’t fall in! we ended up with some winners FOR SURE!! From there we drove back down to Cultus to play in the leaves, and get some shots by the lake. These two are so stinking easy to shoot. It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes couples are just chill in front of the camera. And these two totally were. I’d set up a pose, shoot, and then I’d be about to re-direct, when they would just move a teeny bit into something perfectly adorable and totally comfortable and i’d have to WHIP my camera back up to my face while trying not to knock myself out, to try capture the magic before it disappeared. Easy peasy. We all survived, and Angie & Alex got some amazing photos from their Cultus Lake engagement session! Including their face shake action. See below. If you don’t laugh, there’s something wrong with you.
