Realizing that it's been quite a while since our last posting, we figured it's time for an update. More should be forthcoming over the next few days. In the meantime, I figured that I would post some details from our recent engagement photos.
In short, Alice was highly interested in getting some engagement photos done. Personally, not being the sort of person who feels himself to be terribly photogenic, and not being inclined to enjoy having photos taken of myself, a was a little bit unclear as to what the big deal was. In her attempts to convince me that this was a good thing, we'd looked at numerous examples of engagement, pre-engagement, pre-wedding, and other sorts of photos, but I just wasn't feeling it, until one day Alice discovered the idea of 'life style photos' (I realize, this sounds a bit on the pretentious side). The initial option we looked at was unfortunately a bit overpriced and underwhelming ($200 before we even get photos?!). So, what to do?
Here, the story takes a bit of an amusing turn. For those of you who are regular Facebook users, Facebook uses contextual advertising similar to what Google provides. Presumably, some of the ads that are selected for you are dependent on the various data in your Facebook user profile. What this means is that when your relationship status according to Facebook goes from 'in a relationship' to 'engaged', Facebook starts schleping all kinds of wedding related ads. Alice noticed a particular ad for wedding photographers coming up repeatedly, so she decided to check it out. From there, we met Josie and Ian (aka Pure Souls Photography). Fast forward a few weeks later and we found ourselves shooting photos in the snow and mild 'precipitation' on Mount Seymour.
Initially, given the conditions, we were very worried about the outcome. Happy to say, after seeing the end result, we're quite happy with the end product. Here's a few samples for your perusal.
