I met Daniel and Zahara over drinks and Ice Cream back in Calgary and we hit things off pretty perfectly. We have lots in common, being avid animal lovers and activists… and hearing more about their story and what they do, you fall instantly in love with them not as a couple, but as people. To get to the point as to why I love these two so much, they rescue and save animals! When they’re not at their day jobs, they’re fighting, saving and loving animals of all shapes and sizes…. Mhmm I told you you’d love them 🙂

I headed out to Rosedale in late November of last year to see these two for their engagement session. They had a very specific spot in mind and I died when I saw it! During our session Zahara’s name got the best of me and it’s one of those names that I just couldn’t figure out how to say and stick with LOL I obviously know your name Zahara, but my lips fail me when it’s time to pronounce it… so we shared lots of laughs at my attempts hahaha I’m horrible with names guys!

Daniel and Zahara worked together and were friends for a little while before they started seeing each other in a different light at one of their Christmas parties… you know how that story goes haha and four years later they’ve been together ever since! Zahara was outside playing with their puppy Kuna when she saw Daniel step out with one of their cats. Immediately Zahara thought something was wrong with her or that she was hurt.. but Daniel walked over with a little ribbon on her… what seemed to be an unnerving moment… turned into an emotional and joyous one as Daniel popped the question! They’re both saying I do this Spring with a rustic/woodsy look to the big day and I can’t wait to see and hangout with you both in June!
