Capturing Amber and Matthew's engagement session at Snyder's Flats in Waterloo was an absolute joy.
Not only because of the stunning golden hour light that enveloped the landscape but also because this session was deeply personal to me. I've known Matthew since he was just four years old, thanks to my close friendship with his older sister, Katrina. Seeing him so in love and preparing to marry the love of his life, Amber, is truly heartwarming.
A Romantic Picnic by the Water
Amber and Matthew's engagement session was filled with sweet, romantic touches that perfectly showcased their love story. They set up a beautiful picnic with roses and strawberries—a perfect nod to their upcoming summer wedding. As we walked along the water's edge, the golden sun bathed everything in a warm glow, making each moment feel even more magical. Amber's mint green shoes added a pop of color that was as unique and lovely as she is.
Lizzie, the Corgi
Of course, no session with Amber and Matthew would be complete without their adorable corgi, Lizzie. Lizzie will also play a special role in their wedding, and it was so fun to include her in their engagement photos. Her playful energy and their love for her truly shined through in every shot. I can’t wait to see her walk down the aisle next year!
Looking Forward to Their Special Day
What makes this love story even more special is that Matthew's dad will be officiating their wedding. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love being a wedding photographer—capturing these intimate, emotional connections that make each wedding unique. I’m already counting down the days until next August when I’ll have the honor of documenting their wedding day.
