Why This Is One of the Most Magical Spots for Winter Couples
If you’re recently engaged or just want to do something special together this winter, Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge might be one of the dreamiest spots in Vancouver to do it.
Here’s why couples love it and why you might too.
It Feels Like a Christmas
Every year the park gets covered in thousands of lights. The bridge the trees even the pathways glow. It feels like stepping into a fairytale. And for photos that soft light adds something you just can’t fake in a studio.
It’s Made for Cozy Photos
This session isn’t about posing. It’s about the two of you just being together. Walking hand in hand. Staying close in the cold. Laughing in the moment. If you love wool coats scarves and twinkle lights this is your vibe.
Yes It Costs a Bit More but It’s Worth It
You’ll need to buy tickets and it can get busy. But if you’re into winter magic and want something different than beach photos or a city session this is a memory you’ll actually hold onto.
A Real Moment That Stuck With Me
Last year I brought my second shooter Victoria and her partner Phil during a Canon event. They weren’t planning to be in front of the camera. But once I started shooting it just felt right. The way they looked at each other lit up the frame more than the lights did. That’s what this place brings out. Something real.
