An evening engagement photo shoot at Mud Bay Park, B.C.

Mud Bay Park in B.C., is kind of like a hidden gem ocean side engagement photoshoot location: it gets amazing golden hour, the ocean tide can either be really far out which is great for strolling along the sand, or high up which is great for dipping toes into the water, with the mix of sandy trails and grass, it’s one of our favourite local b.c. engagement photos location for so many reasons!

Mariah and Mark wanted to go somewhere for their engagement photos that was quiet enough for them to be themselves without worrying too much about crowds while they indulged in some heavy PDA and some steamy memory making. These two ran along the long grass, danced along the sandy shores as the sun began to dip down providing us with an amazing golden hour glow for the evening. These two couldn’t stop giggling as Mark (a local fire fighter) picked up Mariah and carried her all over Mud Bay Park. We finished off their engagement photo shoot as the moon began to rise, snuggling up in the long grassy field that looks right out onto the ocean.

Mariah and Mark are getting married this year at Sea Breeze Lodge on Hornby Island, B.C., where I’m envisioning lots of post wedding ceremony frolicking along the beaches, smores making, and celebrating one of the best days of their relationship together with all their family and friends! We cannot wait for their wedding day!

Hair and makeup for Mariah was done by the ever so talented Lara Parliament Beauty
