Nicole & Bas are awesome. We seem to have so much in common with them. They’re a little goofy (I hope don’t mind me saying that, Nicole & Bas!) like we are. They love to travel too. Nicole & Bas met backpacking in Mongolia and on their wedding invitation there is a picture of them drinking beer out of plastic bags in the back of a tuktuk. Looking at that picture makes us want to go back to south east Asia. Nicole & I both love to cook – she’s gotten me hooked to Smitten Kitchen and we both love our European men (Bas is Dutch). There are also some strange coincidences like how Nicole saw these photos of my sister and brother-in-law and realized that Bas has the same t-shirt as my brother-in-law. Needless to say, we have lots of fun together. When we started to plan their engagement photo session Nicole said that they wanted a grungy look to their engagement photos since their wedding will be in the forest on the Sunshine Coast. Nicole suggested that we head into East Vancouver for the session which we happily did.
Thanks, Nicole & Bas, for an entertaining photo session. We’re really looking forward to your wedding.
Holly & Roger
Another likeness between us is that when we asked Nicole & Bas to walk a little slower, Bas started walking like this which is exactly what Roger does when I tell him he is walking too fast!
Beautiful photos! it really captured the essence of your personalities
My fav is the black and white one where Bas is ‘walking slower’, although I’m not sure why he would need to since Nicole is a pretty fast walker herself!
Great photos! I can’t wait to see the wedding pictures!
Wow my friend since 3rd grade is all grown up and looking amazing! Congrats Nicole (and Bas)!!
See you in a couple of months!
These are wonderful pictures! Their personalities shine through in each shot, and you can tell how they genuinely care for one another. I love the urban chic feel to shoot, it’s like a sneak peek into their love affair.
What retarded hair are you talking about? Hehe! Too 浪漫！(romantic)
Hot girl with handsome boy! Pic looks good!
Great pics! I love seeing the “other side” of Vancouver. I like the one of you guys in front of the wall with Bas laughing. Oh and the bum shot of Nicole is pretty good too
See you guys in October!
Loves it! Particularly the kissing:)
Very nice. I like that they’re not your typical boring engagement photos.
You both look gorgeous! Love the light, the juxtaposition of muted and vibrant colors, the grunge. But you are missing a beer-in-plastic bag shot to round out the set! <3, maria
Love it! The aesthetic is perfectly Nicole&Bas. The pics capture your relationships and the dynamic so well that I can easily imagine the teasing between the shots!
Love you guys! xo

All the very best to you guys!!! Looking forward to seeing your wedding pictures! 
Love your branded jeans, what happened to your head?
These photos are just wonderful! The grungy look was a great idea that worked really well. Each shot managed to bring across the personalities of Nicole and Bas. Nicely done!

Hello! Really love your photos! They’re really nice, warm and real, and really capture your personalities. Not like the fake pretentious ones we got back here at you-know-where. But then again, it’d have been nice to see you guys in traditional Chinese wedding garb too. Do one with cheongsam! Haha!
