In a delightful twist of fate, a cheeky squirrel decided to make an unexpected appearance during a couple’s engagement photo session at the stunning Banff National Park. Emily Johnson and Jake Parker were capturing their special moments with photographers Lisa and Tom Bennett from BDFK Photography when this furry little interloper stole the spotlight. “We had planned for romantic shots, but the squirrel had other ideas,” the photographers quipped.
It’s practically impossible to outshine a charming squirrel, especially in such breathtaking surroundings. The little critter posed like a pro, puffing out its cheeks while clutching a snack, delivering an expression that could melt anyone’s heart. Emily and Jake were in stitches over the squirrel’s antics, with Emily sharing, “We adore taking silly photos—our collection of goofy selfies is endless! We never imagined a romantic shoot would lead to such a hysterical and memorable picture.”
The couple’s adventurous spirit took them on a challenging hike to Helen Lake and Cirque Peak, where they donned formal attire for their photos. However, Mother Nature had other plans, and threatening clouds sent them back down the trail. “We found a lovely rocky spot for photos on the way back, and that’s when our furry friend showed up,” Tom explained. Though the duo often captures engagement and wedding photos in rustic settings, this was their first encounter with a photobombing wildlife star.
Now just a month away from tying the knot, Emily and Jake have an unforgettable engagement photo that will surely become a cherished memory. The day was filled with amusing incidents, including Emily taking a rather unexpected dip in a lake during the shoot. “With the weather mishaps and the squirrel, I can’t think of a more entertaining photo shoot day,” she said, chuckling.
Their love story is as unique as their engagement shoot. Emily and Jake met a decade ago while both were members of a Celtic band during their first year of college. They casually discussed marriage and decided it was a splendid idea. Clearly, the squirrel was on board too!
