Joel and I met with this couple early on in the year and as they walked out the door after our session we suddenly had an idea for their engagement shoot so I jumped straight on the computer and emailed through my thoughts. It had come up in conversation that Dan worked with a lot of cars and so we thought hmmm....maybe we can get an old-school car for our shoot, couple it with a pretty dress against a country setting, and let the sun and the smiles do the rest. Bec and Dan loved the idea and we had been looking forward to this shoot for ages!
Here's a few of my faves from the shoot. You both made it so easy for us to capture the images we had in our head. Loved the car. Loved the dress. Loved your smiles!!




Look at those eyes! You just know she'll be such a gorgeous bride!

Old school lovin' just coz I like it...





Oooh! Look what we have here...

The colours were absolutely perfect, and the Firebird was hot!





And just to satisfy another image in my head that I had been wanting to shoot for ages, we detoured to the cutest little strawberry stand which I always see unattended by the roadside. This images crack me up coz it looks like Bec's flirting with the strawberry man!



Bec and Dan - thank you soooo much for listening to our idea and totally understanding my spiel and bringing it to life! Can't wait to show you the rest of these images and very much looking forward to your wedding day!
On that note, if any of you couples out there have an idea/theme/concept in mind and would love to give it a go (whether for an engagement shoot or even just for fun), we totally want to hear about it and will be more than eager to see them come to life! We generally like to think we will match any level of crazy (although I'm not sure I'd ever do something like this although it definitely wins points for being unique), and we're always up for some fun!
Hot couple, hot location, hot car, hot photographer = SCORCHING PHOTOS! I love it Trish. You never cease to amaze me! :D
