Banff Two Jack Lake ice skating engagement session

Ally and Tyler are one of our 2020 couples, it feels like yesterday it was 2018 and we are booking 2020 now! They are friends of our friend (and talented videographer ) and we could not be happier to photograph their wedding and see some familiar faces. They are high school sweethearts, who love brunch as much as we do, so it only made sense to meet over delicious brunch. It did not take long to schedule their ice skating engagement session, which was perfect as Ally used to do figure skating and Tyler played hockey. We brought shovels to clean the snow from the lake and made a little ice skating “rink”, even though a little bumpy. 😉

What is your proposal story?
…well we have been together forever! We dated in high school and went to university together here in Calgary at Mount Royal. We bought a house about a year after graduating and have lived together for almost 3 years now! The proposal was a total surprise. I had been studying for my CPHR exam basically non stop from the beginning of September until I wrote the exam in November. The weekend after Tyler suggested we go to Banff for the day to get out of the city and celebrate my test being over. We went for brunch (my favorite) and then took a nice walk by the river and the falls. He completely surprised me when he popped the question. It was so perfect and so us 🙂
