Amy & Joe {Sweethearts}

I’m super excited to be shooting the wedding of these two lovely faces this weekend and thought I’d better get this little blog post done before the they were upgraded from sweethearts to husband and wife!  Looking forward to a relaxing afternoon watching these two tie the knot, alongside their nearest and dearest.  In the meantime, have a lovely eve to a special and hopefully meaningful long weekend.  I’ll be out with my church family at a local park coming together over an Easter message followed by a good old barbeque together and it might be the nanna in me but I honestly can’t think of anything else I would rather do.  Wishing you a blessed Easter friends xoxo

 

 

Irene & Jonathan {Sweethearts}

Have I told you how much a fan I am of sunrise shoots?  Even more so now that I have little ones that wake me prior to 6am on most mornings! Loved spending a quiet morning with Irene and Jon for their sweetheart shoot.  I arrived and was wide eyed at the beauty Irene had created – her sweet hairpiece, Jon’s unique bowtie, and a beautiful wreath of succulents!  I think I want one for my front door!  Oh, and how cute is her smile :)

Hope this brightens up your Monday evening as it has mine!   Much love, xoxo

 

A Summer Collaboration

Sharing with you a little something special today!  A sweet little summer afternoon spent with some amazingly talented  girls in the southern highlands as the sun went down.  I hardly ever do styled shoots but I really enjoyed this one – utterly carefree, all shot on film, and nobody had any other agenda than to hang out and get to know each other a little better, look pretty, and make pretty!   A big thank you to Sandra from Simply Peachy who organised all the wonderful people that took part in this shoot, you are a superlady!

Mira Flores Flower

I was asked by the darling Silvie of Mira Flores Flower (pictured in the last photo here) to help her out with some images of her floral creativity and loved it. I’m terrible with remembering the names of flowers but I did love her choice of blooms, colour palette, and the little berries and earthy tones and textures woven throughout.  Also loved that she trusted me to use film for this shoot.  Really enjoyed falling into a groove without checking back against the back of the camera and the flowing relaxed pace of the shoot.  Thanks again Silvie!  Do check out her work here while her site is in the making, or keep up to date on facebook here! <3

 

Leona & Ryan {sweethearts}

What a special day to share with Leona and Ryan, who shared a beautiful togetherness shaped over the 17 years since becoming high school sweethearts. With only one day that would fit Ryan’s busy work schedule and Leona heading back to Korea, the day preceding our shoot were a nervous wait on Sydney’s erratic weather. We decided to just get out there on a cloudy day – but what a sunset was waiting beneath those clouds! Best wishes L+R as your wedding day approaches!
