Alison and Owen: Eloped!

Alison + Owen.

It was just the two of them, and a very stormy ocean raging behind, that accompanied the day they decided to get married. Away from prying eyes, and in a ceremony on the beach to seal their love in a private moment, Alison and Owen eloped, and then headed on the rocky moody shores for some photos.

I was reminded by their session that getting married is not about the big grand wedding, but about the marriage... it is about the love and more importantly the commitment between two people, and the lives they have chosen to build together for the rest of their days. It was really sweet to see that there are lovers in the world today that choose the road less travelled and really just want to celebrate their love and nothing more.

It was really lovely to see that despite the crazy stormy weather, Alison and Owen just enjoyed one another.

Happy Tuesday everyone! And hope you all enjoy the mini blog sessions we'll be putting up this week - you voted for it on facebook, so we're giving what you asked for! :D

Los Angeles Pasedena Engagement: Ron and Doleen

Today's mini blog session (as voted by all of you who follow us on facebook) comes all the way from the other side of the world, in Los Angeles where we roamed the charming streets of Pasedena - I LOVED the place. It was full of spanish charm, colour, and not to mention the famous Californian sun. I still stand to this day that Californians get to enjoy some of the most beautiful light in the world :)

Anyhow, meet Ron and Doleen!

Their session was shot a little more glamorous than I would normally shoot, but really?!! When you check out Doleen's amazing feather dress, you can't help but shoot a tiny little bit more sophisticated and sassy :) We even had other photographers we met that day, trying to grab a few shots of the dress while Ron and Doleen's session was underway. It was so funny! :D

Alright, lets move onto the images - hope you enjoy some of my favourites from their lightning quick session around the town :)

Umm... hello? I LOVE people who express their personality through fabulous SHOES! :D

A little fun off the Pasedena Bridge :D

Doleen was so sweet and insisted I take her shoes (we're the same size - size 37 hehe!!) so they are sitting nice and pretty in my shoe cabinet now. love!!! thank you soooo much Doleen!

We ended the session at this gorgeous little spanish residence (or restaurant - we couldn't figure it out! haha) that we just happened to stumble pass while looking for parking :D Yay for random location finds and happy accidents! :D

Hope you are all having a lovely week so far! We hope to squeeze one more mini blog post before this week is out so stay tuned! :D

Picnic and Fields Engagement: Shae and Richie

The sun has not been behaving in sydney lately, but sometimes it doesn't really matter.... when sessions are as sweet as this one, full of simplicity, love, and just because kisses, you will never find me complaining behind the camera. On a very cloudy and grumpy weather day, Shae and Richie just enjoyed the beauty of being together. And the camera adored it :)

Thank you for such a gorgeous afternoon, you two lovebirds! I can't wait to capture your special day soon! :D
