I love Engagement Sessions! It’s the perfect way for you to get to know me and my style of shooting before the big day arrives. Check out the latest sessions here…
While they’re getting married out in the country, Amie & Jack decided to have their engagement session a bit closer to the city and we met up in the Blue Mountains to explore some of my favourite lookouts. We started at the ever popular Lincoln Rock, before heading not too far away to Cyclorama Lookout & Landslide Lookout.
I met up with Alice & James to photograph their engagement session at Clareville for an afternoon of fun by the water. It’s always so nice to hang out with my couples for a few hours and get to know each other better before the wedding. I get to see how you interact as a couple, and you get a beautiful set of images, win-win!
Alice and James are just the sweetest couple ever. James literally leapt into the water at one point to rescue a small child that got knocked over by a wave. Somehow without managing to get himself completely soaked. That’s skill, my friends!
I swear this seagull was following us around all afternoon.
After a while, we headed north from Clareville to Palm Beach for a few more photos, and to crack a bottle of champagne. Because, why not!
But first, this bougainvillea wall! I was in love. I mean they’re a pain to actually have in your garden because of all the thorns, but to photograph – heaven!
Can’t wait to see the wedding? Check it out straight away!
PS. If you’re wondering about Alice’s gorgeous dress, it’s from Mimi Wears Vintage! These two absolutely nailed couple dressing!
Natalie & Luke’s engagement session started out in Centennial Park amongst the pine trees, then as the rain got heavier we headed to nearby Paddington Reservoir to take advantage of a bit more cover. Still, it was a lovely relaxed afternoon & the way they look at each other shines through :)
This shoot took a lot of scheduling, but we got there eventually. It was originally booked in for a sunny Saturday back in March last year, but when I very unexpectedly went into labour 11 weeks early, we had to postpone. A few months later after I had my daughter and life settled down, we scheduled it for a weekend in June. But then the makeup artist ended up having her baby too! So when it started raining 3rd time round, there was no stopping us!
Fun fact: You may recognise Natalie as one of Louise’s bridesmaids a few years ago. There is no better testimonial for a photographer than to be hired again in the same family!
If you’ve never been to Paddington Reservoir before, it’s definitely worth a little wander inside. It could easily be missed from the street. However, once you walk down the stairs, it’s like a little rustic oasis amidst the bustle of the city.
Stay tuned for the wedding!
