I recently had the pleasure of capturing Salisha and Alex’s engagement session at Erwin Park in Vancouver. This location holds a truly special meaning for them. It is not only one of the most beautiful spots in the area but also the very place where Alex got down on one knee to propose to Salisha, just before their big New York adventure.

A Surprise Proposal at Erwin Park

The night before their trip, Alex convinced Salisha to take a late evening walk to Erwin Park. Naturally, she was a bit puzzled as to why they would visit a park at such an unusual time. But when Alex surprised her with a heartfelt proposal under the soft glow of distant city lights, everything became clear. That intimate, genuine moment made this location even more perfect for their engagement photos.

Moments like these remind me why I love what I do. Being part of a couple’s journey from the proposal to the engagement and beyond is an absolute honor.
