SzeChing and Jonathan are a committed, god-loving duo. They met each other at church when they were still students. While SzeChing was an active member of the fellowship committee at church, Jonathan was a quieter participant. Yet Jonathan slowly became more active and started working with her in the committee. SzeChing was a very active girl, always organizing different kinds of sport activities such as swimming, running, playing softball and badminton in her leisure time, and Jonathan was almost always there. In the summer when SzeChing graduated and Jonathan had one semester left, she joined Jonathan’s intramural softball team. One evening when they had finished the softball game and were walking together, Jonathan took the courage to ask! SzeChing took a week of careful consideration and deep conversation before they started dating. They could both feel the butterflies on their first date, when they went to Queen’s park for Canada day celebration and had ramen together. Soon after, a new job offer turned their love into a long-distance relationship. Looking at this couple today, we could be certain that distance didn’t diminish the sweetness and commitment in SzeChing and Jonathan’s love, but perhaps even amplified it.
5 years into their relationship, Jonathan decided to pop the question. He created a multi-stage scavenger hunt / escape room game all by himself, all filled with puzzles for SzeChing to solve. After almost 3 hours, SzeChing finally solved the last puzzle. Jonathan proposed and she said YES! It was deeply touching as Jonathan had planned this big moment for almost a year, and every bit of the game was thoughtfully organized to reflect their 5 years of loving memories.
We were deeply touched by this couple’s love story, their commitment and thoughtfulness for each other! The couple looks absolutely gorgeous on their casual stroll around Richmond Green Park, happily posing by the waterfall and under the beautiful willows. Thank you for having us on this delightful engagement shoot! We were also lucky enough to document SzeChing and Jonathan’s big day. Check out their wedding blog here!
