Polina & Justin. Engagement.

It’s time for me to share the news of my most special and anticipated day of the summer – August 1st. It’s always been a little special, as it is my Birthday. But this year it’s also the day my best friend Polina is getting married!! They’ve always been one of those couples that Polina’s single girlfriends dream of being in and treat as a paragon. Rightly so.

I remember a wonderfully incoherent phone call from Polina – something about a surprise trip to Vegas from Justin, romantic dinner, the perfect Italian vino, tears, and a shiny diamond… ‘congratulations’ from strangers… We cried and laughed. 

For the engagement portraits we decided to pay tribute to the place where Polina and Justin met … and spent many diligent hours … University of Alberta’s beautiful Rutherford Library.

From book lovers ... to lovers.

In the 'quiet room' of the beautiful Rutherford Library

I love this moment. Although I felt so creepy - capturing it from a dark adjacent room!
