Engagement Session at Stanley Park with Van and Minh
Vancouver Views and Real Moments
Stanley Park is one of my favorite spots for engagement sessions. You get ocean, skyline, forest trails, and the Lions Gate Bridge all in one place. For Van and Minh, it felt like the perfect setting. A little bit of nature, a little bit of city. All of it beautiful.
From Vietnam to Vancouver
Spending time with Van and Minh gave the whole shoot a deeper meaning. They told me how they moved here from Vietnam, how they met, and how they decided to make Vancouver home. That story shaped everything about this session. It wasn’t just about taking pretty pictures. It was about who they are and what they’ve built together.
Big Life Changes and Big Smiles
They’ve got a lot happening. Wedding coming up. A new beauty salon on the way. And a baby. All of that and still they showed up glowing. Full of laughs. Van’s friend Anthony came along and took some fun behind the scenes shots too. Just added to the energy.
The Bridge Hit Different
That lookout near Lions Gate Bridge always delivers. But with Van and Minh there, it just felt extra special. They were fully in the moment. Those photos are some of my favorites from the day. Real, relaxed, and full of light.
Thinking About Stanley Park for Your Session
Here’s what helps make the most of it:
Weekdays Are Best
It gets crowded on weekends. Weekdays are calmer. You get space to breathe.
Go for Golden Hour
Morning or late afternoon light is where the magic happens. Soft and glowy. Perfect for photos.
Pick Your Spots
Stanley Park is huge. Choose a few favorites ahead of time. The bridge. The totem poles. Forest trails. Downtown views.
Bring a Second Outfit
Changing looks adds variety. One dressy. One casual. More ways to show your style.
Wear Comfy Shoes First
There’s some walking involved. Bring shoes you can move in. Switch into your photo shoes when we get there.
Soak It In
This is about more than photos. It’s about having a moment together. When you’re relaxed and happy, it always shows.
Final Thoughts
Van and Minh’s session left a mark on me. Full of love and laughs and that kind of energy that stays with you. If you’re dreaming of a shoot that feels real and full of heart, Stanley Park might be your place.
Let’s make it happen.
