Public Gardens Engagement Photos, A Love Story…Joanna & Zach

Public Gardens engagement photos, a dream location for any love story. Stunning gardens and willowing trees, you just can’t go wrong. Such a beautiful and warm day for an engagement session. I had a blast capturing their love and I can’t wait for their 2022 wedding! Stay tuned for their sneak peak below.

The Love Story

Joanna and Zach originally met at a townhouse welcoming event. They were paired into the same group by birth month. Zach saw Joanna sitting on the wall and thought she looked adorable. She thought he was part of the event staff and thought to herself “I hope he doesn’t think I’m a first year”. She was actually a transfer student) The feelings were mutual initially but eventually it was Joanna who made the first move to officially begin dating. They both play Dungeons and Dragons together and love to collect pop figures – they have almost 200 now.

How was the Question Popped?

Joanna and Zach went for a walk in their favorite park to the spot where they had a picnic on their first anniversary. They brought a friend of theirs to take photos and she got a great pic of Joanna tackling Zach to the ground as she said yes. Luckily there was lots of snow to dampen their fall.

The Public Gardens Engagement Photos Sneak Peak

Joanna and Zach both originally chose the Halifax public gardens as a backup location but it turned out much better than they could have imagined. Joanna and Zach visited the gardens every time they came to Halifax. At one point Zach had even considered proposing to Joanna there. It’s such a beautiful spot and has plenty of ducks. Joanna is amazing. Zach is very patient and supportive. Here are just a few of my favorites from their engagement photo shoot. thee choices will be added once they’ve viewed their gallery!
