I met Brendan and Judy at Emmarentia for a couple photoshoot yesterday afternoon. By the time we finished they’d got engaged in a park!

Judy booked the shoot a few weeks ago, and after it was booked Brendan contacted me to make the real plans. Now first the shoot was done at Emmarentia and my regular clients will know that I don’t normally shoot there. Really the only reason I don’t use the park is because of the ridiculous security guards in this public space. Judy and Brendan went through the pain to contact City Parks to book the session. It’s absolutely mad that we have to pay to shoot in a public space but anyhoo.

We started the shoot on the south side of the park in areas that I’d never been to. It was awesome to use new locations and I absolutely loved the yellows of the trees in the space.

This quiet spot under the yellowing trees was just perfect for photos with their bible.

After their outfit change, I took Judy for a few portrait shots while Brendan got himself organised.

He was waiting for her in a little quiet space which had been kitted out with flowers and balloons by friends and family.

It was such an awesome afternoon, and I really loved playing a small part in their story.

Congrats guys!
