West Vancouver Engagement Session

It's easy to be deterred by a grey-sky kind of day when an engagement session is on the books, but photographer Lani Elias along with Eric + Esther brought beauty and tender romance to what might otherwise seem like just a blank backdrop.  But that's where great styling choices (a dark blue suit for Eric to provide some contrast, and a light, airy dress for Esther to keep things from getting to heavy), an ideal location (water and foliage always provide a little bit of colour), and the pairing of film with a great lab (which can provide a fabulous warm feel, even on a cool cloudy day), makes all the difference.  Less than optimal weather can actually sweeten the mood rather than sour it, if the right course is taken, and this engagement session is a prime example of a thoughtful, stylish approach.  It's a sweet way to start off the week here at Vale + Vine.
