You’ll see sunflowers mixed with daisies and other flowers. Every corner feels a little different.
Weekday afternoons work best. It’s quieter, easier to move around, and less expensive. At the end you can take home a bundle of sunflowers, which is a nice bonus.
What It Felt Like
The evening was warm with a little wind. We walked through the fields and stopped whenever something caught our eye. At one point we found a dinosaur statue hidden in the flowers. Tyler laughed because he had dreamed about being chased by a dinosaur the night before. We made that photo happen, and it was perfect.
That’s how the whole session went. Relaxed. Fun. Honest. They weren’t worried about posing. They just enjoyed each other.
We ended on a swing chair near the edge of the farm, then grabbed one last photo on the bridge as the sun dropped. Quiet and calm. Exactly how an engagement session should feel.
Why You Might Want Photos Here
This isn’t a polished garden or venue. It’s a farm. That’s what makes it great. It feels real. If you want photos that are warm, natural, and simple, this place delivers.
Here’s why I recommend it:
- 30 minutes from Vancouver but feels like an escape
- Golden hour is beautiful, cloudy days work too
- Lots of variety: fields, bridges, flowers, swing chair
- Weekdays are quieter and less stressful
- You can bring home sunflowers
- Works for both casual and dressed-up outfits
- Affordable entry, especially during the week
For Tianna & Tyler
I’m grateful I got to spend this evening with them. It was easy and full of laughter. That’s how I want every couple to feel when we take photos together.
