Why Spring is the Best Time for an Engagement Session


Victoria is famous for its breathtaking spring scenery, making it a dreamy backdrop for romantic engagement photography. Here are just a few reasons why you’ll love a spring engagement session:

  • Cherry Blossoms & Fresh Greenery – Picture yourselves beneath a canopy of delicate pink blossoms in Beacon Hill Park or strolling through the lush gardens of Government House. Spring in Victoria bursts with color, providing a romantic and timeless setting.
  • Golden Evening Light – Longer daylight hours mean we can schedule your session during that magical golden hour when everything glows beautifully.
  • Mild Temperatures – Unlike summer’s heat or winter’s chill, spring offers mild, comfortable temperatures—perfect for outdoor sessions without breaking a sweat or shivering through the photos.
  • A Fresh, Romantic Aesthetic – Spring symbolizes new beginnings, making it the perfect metaphor for your journey into marriage.
