Hope & Isaac. A Byron Bay Engagement Session

Hope & Isaac. A Byron Bay Engagement Session

Oh to be young and in love! Meet Hope and Isaac. These guys are in the final stages of planning a beautiful spring wedding for this September, and a couple of weeks ago, we headed down to Byron Bay for their engagement session.

I absolutely love this type of shoot… a casual stroll through gorgeous landscape with a beautiful couple and these guys were super easy to work with. Largely because they are both happy and easy-going, but also I believe, because Hope’s dad is a very talented and well-respected photographer himself and so I think she has spent plenty of time in front of the lens during her life.

No doubt, September will roll around in no time and I’m super-excited to be capturing their special day for them.

Kate & Dan. A Retro Engagement Session.

Kate & Dan. A Retro Engagement Session.

When scouting for interesting locations for engagement sessions, an important factor for me is to find somewhere very secluded, where the couple can feel at ease and not have to worry about on-lookers… Kate and Dan’s engagement session was about as far removed from this ideal as you could get.

In early June, Coolangatta comes alive with style, cars and music from the 50’s and 60’s. Kate and Dan chose to get into the vibe and have their shoot in amongst the spectacular that is ‘Cooly Rocks On’. So 50’s styled Kate, Dapper-Dan and I took to the streets, with thousands of other people and made this series of images.

As chaotic as it was at times, the general vibe was electric and we definitely all had a ball! The old classic cars were the perfect props for the shoot and I’d like to thank the owners who graciously let us use their vehicles. After such a fun day, I really can’t wait for Kate and Dan’s wedding next year… it’s going to be a blast!
