Angela and Grant's e-shoot!

Angela and Grant are getting married in March and we recently got together for their engagement shoot and to get to know them a little better. Grant works as a driver in the mines, and that means his hours are all over the place - in fact he'd only had 3 hours sleep in the last 24 hours when we met for the shoot. We were impressed that he was even vertical let alone fun and involved in the shoot!

We headed up to the Promised Land for some fun country images, and had a ball!

We had a fun time with Angela and Grant, so much so that it was dark when we finally said goodbye! Poor Grant, he was about an hour past his use-by date at that time!

Tania and Darren's dawn engagement shoot!

Last Saturday before we headed off to Skye and Matt's wedding we got a call from Tania, who wanted to change the time for her engagement shoot with fiancé Darren. It seemed Darren had a bad cold, and as a result they wanted to head back to Tamworth a little earlier, so our scheduled time of 4.00pm on Sunday wouldn't suit.

We had scheduled the shoot for 4.00pm because as many of you will know, we love the twilight and sunset... it really is the magic hour for photography. The alternative of the middle of the day wasn't great due to the expected harsh light, so we decided to start at dawn, and meet them at Emerald Beach at 5.50am.

I must say that this was an enormous sacrifice for me, because if you don't know, my two weaknesses in life are pizza and American College Football. Oh, and Snack chocolate blocks... and good coffee... hmmm....  Anyway, college football is a big deal to me! The first game of the 2011 college football season for my favourite team started at 2.20am, and would not be finished until after 6am, so it was a real sacrifice to rearrange the shoot! Of course Tania and Darren didn't know that, just Mary Ann who was telling me that clients come before football, and the sooner I learned that this season the better!

Suffice it to say that after spending the dawn with Tania and Darren I was VERY happy that we had rescheduled the shoot, as you will see from the photos. Enjoy!

Wow! What amazing light! It only lasted for a few minutes but it was SO worth heading down early! It was another lovely memory of Emerald Beach for Tania and Darren, who had actually got engaged only a few metres from where these images were taken. Thanks Tania and Darren for being prepared to get up so early!

Allison and Darren - in love and fabulous!

Our last e-shoot on this trip to Sydney was Allison and Darren, who had first contacted us in January after admiring the photos on our website and blog. When we met them in April we got a glimpse of their personalities, but it wasn't until their e-shoot that we really got to know them.

Allison and Darren met online, and from the first they realised there was something special between them. Before they ever met in person they spent hours and hours talking and getting to know each other intimately, which made their first real date incredible! From that moment they both knew they had met the right person with whom to spend their lives.

After our shoot we went out for dinner and drinks with Allison and Darren, and had a GREAT time at the Lowenbrau Bar. I was very glad I didn't have to drive home afterwards! :o) We had so much fun with them, and hopefully we will be able to catch up again before the wedding in November. Darren, remember you promised to take me fishing in the week before the wedding! Thanks for a great night guys, and good luck with the balance of your wedding planning!
