Did you remember Cecilia & Jeromy’s beach engagement photo session earlier this year? Well, there’s more to it, as promised!

On their wedding day, Cecilia & Jeromy had a memorable day that many would remember; they were married on the day Melbourne had the huge thunderstorm / hail / flood in March. Their plan to get their images taken around Melbourne before reception had to be scraped. Luckily enough though, during our engagement session, Cecilia & Jeromy had asked me to photograph them in their wedding gown. So here’s part 2 of their engagement photoshoot…

They say opposites attract. Harry & Maureen (friends call her Momo) are both lovely people with great characters, but yet they are different. Whilst Momo is very organised, Harry “goes with the flow” – and in the process, forgets where he leaves most of his things. Whilst Momo was happily working in Melbourne, Harry moved to Perth a few years ago and have decided to stay a bit longer… and he’s determined to bring his lovely bride along, of course!

When Harry visited Momo in Melbourne for their small marriage registry/celebration, they picked some great outdoor locations to capture their love for this photoshoot. We went from their usual date spot Botanical Garden to the Southgate area for lunch, and then Docklands for a nice walk on a beautiful sunny day…

Cecilia & Jeromy are getting married this weekend, almost a year after Jeromy proposed to Cecilia by the beach during Easter 2009. They didn’t get to return to the special beach where Cecilia said “yes” for the pre-wedding photoshoot, but we visited a beach at Mornington earlier this year for a fun pre-wedding photo session.

It was scorching hot – temperature in the high 30s – but that did not dampen Cecilia & Jeromy’s spirits at all. Cecilia had her makeup done in the morning before we made our way to Mornington for some fun in the sun. It was joyous to see how much the couple enjoyed themselves throughout the day…

Marcella & Adrian agreed to take pre-wedding photographs with me few months before their wedding. Lala (Marcella’s nickname) is fun and outgoing, whilst Adrian is laidback and a good sport. So the two combined makes it a very easy job for me!

Lala wanted to do something that she and Adrian would usually do when they were out on a date; something casual and fun. We chose 2 destinations for the photoshoot: St Kilda’s Acland Street and Chapel Street. Here’s me following them on their date…

Jane & Sam got married in November 2008. Since they were on a rather tight budget, it was only natural that they asked Jane’s bridesmaid to do their engagement photoshoot. Oh, and that bridesmaid happened to be me!

They chose Brighton Beach as the location – always a great place to shoot in Melbourne. It was in the middle of winter, but that wasn’t such a bad idea, as it only means that we had the whole beach to ourselves! After a couple of warm-up photos by the park, we walked towards the famous beach houses; and the fun began…
