Harrison Tulip Festival Engagement-Annie and Arthur

There’s something truly special about an engagement session at sunrise—and when you combine that with endless tulip fields, mountain views, and a fun-loving couple, you get pure magic. Annie and Arthur’s engagement session at the Harrison Tulip Festival was exactly that: vibrant, joyful, and completely unforgettable.

Sunrise at the Tulip Fields in Harrison Hot Springs

To make the most of the experience (and avoid the crowds), we started early—really early. My day began at 4 a.m., but the moment I arrived at Harrison Hot Springs, I knew it was worth every second of lost sleep.

We began shooting during blue hour, when the fields were still quiet and wrapped in soft, cool tones. There’s a calmness at that time of day that you simply can’t replicate later on. As Annie and Arthur walked through the rows of tulips, it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves.

Then, slowly, the light began to shift.

As the sun rose, golden light spilled over the mountains, illuminating the fields in the most breathtaking way. Mount Cheam stood tall in the background, glowing in the early morning light and adding an iconic Fraser Valley backdrop to their photos.

A Sea of Colour and Endless Photo Opportunities

One of the most incredible things about the Harrison Tulip Festival is the sheer scale and variety. The fields stretch endlessly, filled with hundreds of thousands of tulips in every colour imaginable—soft pastels, vibrant reds, sunny yellows, and deep purples.

For Annie and Arthur, it created a playful and romantic setting that perfectly matched their personalities. They laughed easily, moved naturally together, and brought such a lighthearted energy to the session. It made documenting their connection feel effortless.

Beyond the flowers, the festival offers so many unique elements that elevate an engagement session. We made use of a charming vintage car, a set of whimsical swings, and even an antique bicycle—each adding a different layer of character and storytelling to their gallery.
