The Anglugs Engagement Shoot

Angel and Neels (Glugster) met me in Newtown early this morning for their much anticipated engagement photoshoot.  I had a ball.  They brought quite a few props along with them so that the photos would tell their story.  And of course Newtown was just perfect for it! I just love the place with the run...

SheBee (13 comments.) - February 3, 2010 - 1:36 pm

oh my word – this is absolutely my favourite photo shoot you’ve ever done Jenty!

The graffiti is phenomenal – they almost *make* the photographs. I especially love the one with Angel and the ribbon in her hair.

Such a gorgeous, gorgeous result.

These are some real cool photographs. The background works so well. Lovely light again. Not harsh at all. Did you use any reflectors or something.

Keep it up.
