romantic outdoorsy engagement

For adventurous couple Kieran and Stephanie an outdoorsy yet romantic engagement shoot with Kirill Bordon was just perfect. This darling duo met while traveling and have explored the world together since then. With a precious bouquet and a bottle of bubbly and blankets to share while admiring the beautiful backdrops, this engagement shoot strikes the perfect balance!

From the bride-to-be Stephanie – “Kieran and I met 5 and a half years ago. We were from complete opposite sides of the world. Me being from Ladner, BC and him from Auckland, New Zealand. I was 18 and he was 22 and we both decided to travel Europe on a Contiki tour. We did not know each other before meeting in London, were we met up with our group we were going to be traveling with for the next few months.

We saw each other at the bar the night before leaving for Paris. He was to shy to talk to me but I thought he was pretty cute so I bought him a drink. The very next day we were up the Eiffel tower sharing a glass of champagne overlooking Paris. Pretty much sounds like a fairy tale, and it was. We got to experience the most beautiful cities in the world together and basically the rest is history.

Since then, we have lived in 3 countries together, England, New Zealand and finally settled down here in Canada. Kieran proposed on June 6, 2014 while we were enjoying a picnic in Fort Langley. We will be getting married at on August 5, 2016!”
