From First Kiss to Forever: Cassie & Jon’s Heartfelt Forest and Beach Engagement Session

Cassie and Jon’s love story began with a touch of serendipity, reconnecting through social media after attending the same high school without ever meeting. Fast forward five years, and these two found themselves on a beautiful October afternoon at a place close to their hearts—the beach at the end of the Oyster River Trail, by the bench where they shared their first kiss.

Forest Moments

We started the session surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery, setting a tranquil and intimate scene. Cassie and Jon’s connection was apparent from the first shot, with every glance and touch capturing the warmth they share. The forest provided a perfect backdrop, accentuating the deep colors of their outfits and the gentle way they held each other. Their laughter echoed through the trees, a fitting reminder of their shared love for fun and the little moments that bring them closer.

A Stroll Down Memory Lane

As we moved toward the beach, the light softened, casting a warm glow that complemented Cassie and Jon’s closeness. This place isn’t just a beautiful backdrop—it holds sentimental value, as it’s the spot where they first kissed.

Their first date story is such a sweet one, a night at the Sid Williams Theatre watching Rent, where they talked so long during intermission that they got locked out—a beginning as unique as their love.

The Proposal Story

A session with Cassie and Jon wouldn’t be complete without revisiting their engagement story. Jon popped the question at the Vancouver Aquarium during a memorable weekend away. After a seagull incident during the sea lion show (which involved an unplanned wardrobe cleanup!), he proposed on the viewing platform of the rehabilitation tank, following a heartwarming otter moment. It was a proposal filled with the spontaneity and humor that defines their relationship.

Simple Joys and Shared Adventures

These two enjoy life’s simple pleasures together—walks, board games, bowling, and camping. Their shared love for these moments was evident throughout the session, as they played and laughed together, effortlessly falling into poses that highlighted their easygoing and authentic connection. Cassie pokes fun at Jon’s “misadventures” and his knack for finding trouble, and their lighthearted dynamic shone through in every candid shot.

Forever by the Water

This session captured the essence of Cassie and Jon’s journey, with a location that symbolizes the start of their love and a setting as warm and genuine as they are. Here’s to many more walks, late-night conversations, and moments of laughter for these two, whose story reminds us that sometimes, the best beginnings are the ones we least expect.
