This is my best friend and her fiance. They got engaged Dec 23rd, 2010. He called me and asked me to do some family photos of them with his 2 children. He also said that during our photos he is going to propose. Of course, I was thrilled for her (she didn't have a clue!), and even more thrilled that I was able to be there to witness my bff get engaged! So there we were in the middle of our photo shoot and he drops onto one knee and popped the question. She cried. I cried. It was awesome!!!
Fast forward to exactly one year from that date and we did these, their official engagement session. We were supposed to do them in Calgary (where they live) when I was there a month or two prior, but the day we had scheduled to do them, downtown Calgary was closed due to hurricane winds. I think the only time downtown Calgary has ever been closed and it happens to be when I have a shoot booked there. LOL. They were planning on coming back to Saskatoon for Christmas, so we rescheduled for then, exactly one year from the day they got engaged. The weather was going to be so mild, it was perfect. A couple of days prior to that, she sprained her ankle so bad she couldn't walk. She didn't want to reschedule, so she was a trouper and hobbled around on her crutches. She even wore heels!
I have to say I'm so happy for my best friend. It's obvious these two were meant for each other. They didn't stop laughing the entire time we spent together. I wish I could shoot their wedding but I will have a more important job... to stand beside her as her maid of honour while she says her vows. Needless to say I can't wait for her big day and to stand up for her and watch as she marries her other best friend, the love of her life:).
