shannon & omer - our one true wedding {wish} couple || vancouver wedding photographer

if you are a follower of my blog, you will remember the wedding photography giveaway contest that i have collaborated with ms jeanie of STUDIOjeanie, back before christmas. and you may also remember us announcing shannon & omer as the lucky couple.

last wednesday, jeanie and i have the DELIGHT of finally meeting in person and doing their engagement lifestyle session.

HOT. FUN. FRIENDS. JOY. INTIMATE. REAL.

these are 6 words that i can honestly say describe them as a couple. the chemistry they had with each other..how comfortable they were with each other..how they expressed their love for each other with words or even with just glances. all was so breathtaking and refreshing.

it was an ABSOLUTE joy to photograph these two. jeanie and i are so incredibly blessed to be a part of their beautiful lives.

here's some of their session...enjoy. and leave them some love. :)

with affection,
tracey
xoxo

{our true wedding wish} winners!!! || vancouver wedding photographer

**AND THE LUCKY COUPLE IS…*

shannon+omer!

before we introduce shannon+omer to our blog readers, we would just like to share that it was incredibly hard to select the couple whose story touched jeanie and myself the deepest. all of your life journeys were incredibly touching, and jeanie and i would like to thank each and every one of you for honoring our gift by sharing your deepest thoughts with us.

jeanie and i made our selection based on availability first and then followed by couple’s connection to the non-profit sector, as well as the story of how they met.

shannon+omer’s story related an incredible journey of destiny : despite them being on opposite ends of the world and from vastly different cultures, their worlds collided (in a good way) (; maintaining a strong and deep friendship from the very beginning, their story turned to love. shaped by determination at different seasons of their relationship, they persevered to bring joy and culture to a community with music, dance and love!

here is an excerpt from their story they shared with us : “omer and I found that despite being born on opposite sides of the world and growing up in vastly different cultures, we were like two peas in a pod. we didn’t know how to define our friendship. soulmate felt too romantic and kitschy. we never tried to give it a title, though one person once told us we were ‘twin souls’.”

…thank you for sharing your story with us, shannon+omer! congratulations from jeanie and i!
