Ben & Genaya | Port Hills | Engagement Session

I don't blog anywhere near enough engagement sessions, and I REALLY need to! Engagement sessions are where I get to know my couples a bit more, and I see how they interact with each other so I can capture exactly who they are. MOST of my clients have never been in front of a camera before so this is a way to help them relax and get to know how I will work with them on their big day. Its also a chance to have a relaxing photoshoot without the pressure of everything else going on around them like a wedding day brings; its normally me, my camera, the couple, and sometimes an extra family member! Plus they are a TON of fun.

I first met Lizzy and little Brooke when we caught up for a coffee and had a chat about the plans for their amazing day; we got on instantly.  I met them again, this time the whole family at their engagement shoot on a quiet beach just before sunset, they were like pro's I knew the wedding was going to be easy. Jarrod and Lizzy are absolutely amazing souls, not only are they totally in love, but also best friends and parents.

Jacob and Kirsti were one of my "Win Your Wedding Photography" competition winners last year. I have been looking forward to this wedding since the day I met them and heard about their plans. When people hear about city weddings they often think about large buildings and urban styled photographs.

This wedding cried the ultimate DIY'ers dream, every aspect of this day was hand crafted by James and Melinda themselves. The intricate detail in every item - you know this day had been carefully thought out and planned.

It was a gorgeous summer day, held at their family farm, surrounded by their nearest and dearest where they took the next step as husband and wife. The love this couple had for eachother is unsurpassed.
