Crystal & Colin at the Happiest Place on Earth!

crystal and colin are both animators from vancouver, canada who, in their own words, “are both terribly enamored by the romance of the 50′s and classic Disney.”  they met while both working on a popular animated children’s show which led to them realizing they had many more passions in common (including each other).  they wrote to me last summer and told me that they would love for their engagement shoot to be a “first date at Disneyland – circa 1955″ (when the park first opened) and seeing that they flew all the way from canada for this shoot it was practically their first date there and i was lucky enough to get to follow them around on it!  the day was literally their dream turned into reality.  they were all dolled up, dancing from one side of the park to the other, and whenever we would break for a moment people would be whistling and smiling at them ear to ear.  they are pure sunshine together.   :)
