I've know Gurpreet since highschool... er... elementary school?? Regardless, I've known him for many years, and I was SO THRILLED to get a message from him about shooting his wedding. I was even more thrilled to meet his beautiful fiance, Dimple, and hear their incredibly sweet love story.
We decided to start their engagement session at Trafalgars Bistro, where they had their first date. Then we continued on to Van Dusen Gardens where Gurpreet had a surprise up his sleeve...
Before the photoshoot, Gurpreet told me he had a surprise for Dimple. When he proposed, he gave her a diamond necklace, with the idea they could pick out her ring together. Since then, he has had the excuse of "so many wedding expenses", and the engagement ring would have to wait. Dimple was more than understanding. But the suprise was, he did in fact have the ring, and he was going to surprise her with it at the photo session (He planned to do this at the end, in case she cried and ruined her make-up. Yes, that is how thoughtful he is!). For the last shot he suggested a photo where he was proposing to her, and down on one knee he talked about his love for her, then pulled out the gorgeous ring. It was so neat to capture such a special, authentic reaction. I love my job.
