Milestones in the Mountains.

"After landing the sights were absolutely unbelievable (the mountains were pretty nice too!) and I got down on one knee…"

After months of planning, everything was finally coming together as the proposal set into motion. As my partner is also an artist, I wanted to do something memorable and unique for us to look back on for years to come.

We were whisked high up into the mountains and witnessed an incredible scenic flight over Lake Lovely Water. This was a unique perspective for me as I had just made this trip last year, and caught some shots from the ground level. It was incredible to see everything from a bird’s eye view this time around.

We enjoyed a fabulous charcuterie board and sparkling water way up in the peaks of British Columbia. Then set up our camp for an overnight stay and took some of our own engagement photos before heading out on an epic hike through the Tantalus Range. We hiked along some incredible ridgebacks with views as far as the eye can see.

Purchase a fine art print of this “Tantalus Adventure” and witness the breathtaking views from the Tantalus Range in Squamish, BC.
