We couldn’t go wrong with this engagement shoot, a stunning setting, a beautiful couple and amazing sunset over the grassy dunes. We loved, loved, loved hanging out with Brad and Alyssa, they were free, fun and up for a bit of hike :) We hope you like this engagement set as much as we loved shooting it. Enjoy!

These two people are definitely some of the sweetest around and it was pretty special to get to hang out with them for a couple of hours to make some beautiful images to celebrate their engagement together. Ladies & Gentlemen, Pete & Elise :)

Arvind & Leenah flew out from Malaysia to see us here in Australia for their pre-wedding session a few months back. We had such a lovely time getting to know them both and got to make some really special portraits both at the same time :) They toughed out some pretty tough conditions too including a cold sunrise, tummy bugs and running up sand dunes in their beautiful clothes. We’re working on their wedding images as we type and we can’t wait to share them soon!

When we first spoke with Jay & Gene they mentioned all they wanted to do was have a fun, chilled adventure together. And we sure did! Jay & Gene flew up from Melbourne for our time together and after catching the sunrise over some galactic looking dunes north of Newcastle we headed into the Wattagans Forrest, gathered wood and sat around a fire roasting marshmallows. And to top it all off we ended up finishing off the shoot in their hometown, Melbourne; even getting some shots with their gorgeous Shiba Inu puppy who is more a member of their family than their pet.

It’s a little crazy to think that it was 9 months ago that we had the honour of being a part of Alex + Andrew special day at Watson Bay. It was an incredibly beautiful celebration of heritage, style, depth and courage. Alex’s persistent trust in her love for Andrew even when they had a season of separation and Andrew’s passion and courage to run back to the women he always loved gave such a sense triumph and passion to the day. Andrew said he wasn’t much of a public speaker and Alex mentioned before the day that he was very nervous for his speech. But it was one of the most inspiring reflections of love we have ever seen. He overcame his fear spoke with the clarity and passion that of a man who knew that ‘to love is to be vulnerable’ and ‘to love is to step out of your comfort zone and risk it all’. With an amazing group of family and friends to support them it sure was a celebration to remember!
