Love stories that start at the lake always feel extra special—like Amanda & Nolan. Their Birds Hill Park engagement session was everything you hope for as a Winnipeg wedding photographer: light-hearted, silly,, and grounded in a love that’s been years in the making.

These two first crossed paths as kids with cabins at the same lake. What started as a friendship around age 13 blossomed into something much more during their last year of high school. Now, over 7.5 years later, they’re planning forever—and this session was such a fun way to celebrate the journey they’ve already had together.

I can’t wait for their special day in September!
