Vancouver’s Most Magical Holiday Engagement Spot
Christmas in Vancouver feels like a dream. The cold air, the sparkle of the lights, the way everything slows down just enough. If you’re thinking about engagement photos, this is one of the best times to do it. Especially at Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge.
The Lights That Change Everything
Capilano is already one of the most iconic places in the city. But during Canyon Lights, it transforms. Every path, bridge, and treetop glows. The lights add warmth and texture that you can actually feel in your photos. It’s beautiful. And it’s different every year.
Victoria and Phil Brought the Magic
This session was part of a private event with Canon and Socality. Usually I photograph models at this event, but this time I wanted something more personal. So I asked Victoria and Phil.
Victoria is my second shooter and one of my closest friends. Seeing her with Phil was something else. They made everything easy. The way they looked at each other, the way they laughed, it was all real. I barely gave any direction. They just showed up and were themselves.
More Than Just a Pretty Location
The lights are amazing, but what makes the photos work is the connection. With Victoria and Phil, you could feel it. That’s what people remember. Not just where the photo was taken, but how it felt.
