Niki emailed me saying that her and her husband were flying out to Vancouver in the summer to attend a wedding and she wanted to get some portraits of them while they were here. After a few emails back and forth, a few blog comments left by Niki, I honestly could not wait till I met them both!
She arrived in Vancouver and went straight away to find the perfect location and I'm so happy that she chose Cleveland Dam! I had never been there and once I rolled up it took my breath away, seriously I almost couldn't breathe! The mountains rolling into the lake, the forest with the sun shinning through, and cliffs that just beg you to leap from them...just perfect!
But hanging out with Niki + John is what eventually took my breath away! After 21 years of marriage they still laugh, hold hands, he nuzzles in the crook of her neck, he leans towards her in a protective way, and the way they look at each other! 21 years and they are still this much in love, this is why I love love!
Meet the still much in love, Niki + John!
Niki + John, it was such a pleasure meeting and hanging out with you, thank you for the wonderful evening, next time we will enjoy some vino together!

WOW! Lesley, I LOVE them!! Cant wait to see all the rest! I'm sure I was probably one of your toughest clients to shoot, as I really do not like having my photos taken & was being somewhat "difficult" but you made me feel so at ease & you did a fabulous job. I told you I'd be thrilled if there was at least one that I end up liking of myself & now I think I will have a tough time choosing!! Thank you so much. It was a pleasure working with you! oh and yes - John had a blast with this, which was so shocking being a guy!
