Beautiful Outdoor Engagement Session
It's not every day that you get to see an engagement session like this. A super sweet + super talented photog (the amazing Elisabeth Cloutier Photographer) snapping up drop-dead gorgeous pictures of her little brother and her dear friend, who just so happen to be saying "I do" after she introduced them. Sigh... love makes me so happy. See every beautiful, sun-filled moment in the full gallery.
From Elisabeth Cloutier Photographer... I'm a professional photographer. I usually take pictures for people I barely know; immortalizing something unforgettable for them. And I always feel grateful to share their special moments with them. This time, it was more than just that. My little brother is getting married. On October 4th, 2014 he's marrying one of my friends. Yes, the future bride is also a friend of mine; I studied photography with her. I presented them to each other three years ago at my own wedding... she was my photographer. They fell in love and now it's their turn to say yes! Taking pictures of my brother was easy for me. I knew how he would act in front of the camera... Just the same as in real life. But the stress was with my friend; it's never easy to take pictures of a photographer. I had to convince her that for this afternoon, she was the lover, the future bride, the engaged... NOT THE PHOTOGRAPHER! She had to trust me like I trusted her three years ago. And she finally did. She trusted me to surprise them! At first, they wanted to do the session in a orchard. To cliché, I told them. I wanted something more special for them. The same morning, I was driving to my parents' new house in Shefford, QC, Canada and took the little road that my father told me to take. The scenery was supposed to be beautiful. I felt in love. Everything was there. An old chapel, a long dirt road, a mountain... And the light that day was magical!!! We even got the chance to see a deer on our path! Just as if God wanted them to have a perfect photo shoot. Even Gloria, their Boston Terrier, got few shots. Jean-Rémy and Andreanne, I was more than just happy to do your engagement session. I am profoundly honoured.
