LGBTQ Engagement Session in Vancouver: Ty & Daniel at Caulfield Park & Downtown
There’s something magical about capturing love, especially when you’ve known one of the people involved for years. That’s exactly how I felt during Ty and Daniel’s engagement session in Vancouver. Ty and I have known each other since high school, and being able to document this special moment for him and meet the love of his life was truly an honor. From the quiet, intimate moments at Caulfield Park to the vibrant energy of downtown Vancouver, it was a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
A Toast to Love in Caulfield Park
We started the session in the stunning Caulfield Park, located in West Vancouver, surrounded by lush greenery and sweeping views of the ocean and mountains. Ty and Daniel looked absolutely dashing in their custom suits, with Ty’s suit boasting a sleek, modern cut and Daniel’s suit featuring a special accent—a rose-shaped brooch passed down from his grandfather. It was such a beautiful, sentimental touch that added depth and meaning to the day.
They began the shoot with a toast, celebrating their love and the exciting journey they were about to take together. There’s something about starting a session with a moment of reflection that truly sets the tone for the rest of the day, and this one felt extra special.
Documenting Love and the Little Details
What made this session even more personal for me was seeing Ty, a talented photographer himself, in front of the camera. He brought along his film camera, which added an extra layer of nostalgia and creativity to the shoot. Ty and Daniel took turns snapping shots of each other, capturing playful and candid moments. It was so sweet to see them sharing these little, intimate exchanges—one moment, they were laughing; the next, lost in the quiet intimacy of just being with each other.
From Nature to City Streets
After Caulfield Park, we headed downtown to continue the shoot and change outfits. Vancouver’s downtown is an architectural lover’s dream, with its sleek lines, modern buildings, and vibrant city vibes. The contrast between the natural beauty of the park and the sharp, urban lines of the city made for some stunning shots. Whether framed by the city’s towering structures or tucked in the cozy corners of its streets, Ty and Daniel’s connection was evident in every photo. Their love for each other shone through, and it was a joy to capture their personalities and the ease they share.
Reflecting on a Beautiful Day
Ty and Daniel’s engagement session wasn’t just about the photos—it was about the bond they share and the love that has been built between them over time. As I look back on the day, I’m filled with gratitude for being able to witness and capture these moments. To see Ty, someone I’ve known for so long, thriving and in love, was genuinely heartwarming. It’s incredible to see him sharing his life with someone he deeply cares for, and to know that this chapter is just the beginning of their shared journey together.
Here’s to Ty and Daniel—may your love continue to grow, and may this be just the first of many beautiful moments you create together!
