A nice romantic walk on the beach.

Some images from an engagement photoshoot I did this week. Meet Amy and Bernard - they are getting married in just over two weeks. I wanted to put these on here and write about it because 1) Amy and Bernard are super cute, and 2) I want to show prospective wedding couples what the engagement photoshoot is all about. Its basically a way for me to capture you as a couple before you get married. I encourage you to wear whatever you like, and more importantly to be yourselves infront of the camera. Beforehand, a lot of people (especially boys) find it hard to imagine being relaxed whilst being photographed, so its great when after the shoot people say to me "oh that was actually quite fun! I didn't feel awkward at all". Thats the idea! It means that you have some lovely images of the two of you just being together, and also on the wedding day you feel SO much more comfortable infront of the camera.

There's my little plug! Here are the images. We shot this in the middle of all that horrible rainy weather, and the light in the evening was beautiful. I got Amy and Bernard to walk their two lovely dogs on the beach.





Look at the cute dogs! Thats Marley on the right, he's a 9 year old Blue Heeler (sp?) / Bull / Staffordshire cross and he likes to CHEW things. Aida is on the left, she's a Ridgeback puppy and she is so cute (and SO full of energy). They won't be the same size for long, Aida will soon grow up to be bigger than all of us. Well, almost.





Such a perfect evening for photographs, although a tad cold!





I love images where the boy is looking at the girl!







After the beach we went to hang out on the train tracks, which I've been eyeing up for ages as I drive to and from the beach with Nana and Nails. Plus the light was perfect for the old-rusticy feeling I was after.







I think this is my favourite - doesn't Amy look radient?



I have my first New Zealand wedding this Saturday, and a whole bunch after that too. How exciting! I can't wait to get stuck in. Its taken a while to build up the business over here, but I'm getting there. Luckily dunedin is geographically quite big, but socially quite small, so great for personal referrals!

My next post should be about the barn...
