These two lovebirds bonded over their mutual boredom during a performance of The Nutcracker. Cristina + Alex’s engagement photos represent this couple’s fun-loving spirit and we’re so excited to share them with you. Mint Photography captured Cristina + Alex’s dreamy lakefront engagement photos at Barrier Lake in Kananaskis, Alberta.
Love Story
We met in December of 2015. With it being so close to Christmas holidays, Alex purchased tickets to see Alberta Ballet’s rendition of “The Nutcracker.” This is where the sparks really began to fly, as we bonded over our mutual boredom during Alex’s poor activity choice. We are forever grateful for this poor decision, as it led to one of the best ones we both have ever made. In September of 2018, Alex parked his vehicle at a lookout spot in Bridgeland that we used to frequent during our first year of dating. It took one believable phone call to get Cristina out of bed to come save the “stranded” Alex from his broken down car. When she arrived, he popped the trunk to a display of champagne and photos, and got down on one knee. The rest is history.
