6. BEAUTY IN ORDINARY.
Sometimes the most ordinary locations can be the most beautiful ones, it’s just a matter of observing. That quirky little bar at the corner from your place, a pillow fight at home, your fav fruit & veg shop, a playful bubble bath with some champagne, a local cafe you love…
7. PLAN AN ADVENTURE.
It all begins with an idea. Plan an adventure to a stunning national park, a rain forest, an amusement park, a picnic at your favourite botanical garden, pop a champagne, take a walk through some of Melbourne’s iconic laneways.
8. BE YOURSELF.
This is all about your loving journey and you got to be yourself, feel comfort, be intimate, be passionately in the moment and celebrate each other, be silly, be playful…
9. HIT THE BEACH.
There is nothing more romantic than a stroll along the beach at sunset. A dip in the ocean and some playfulness in that golden dusky light is sure to be exquisite.
10. SHARE YOUR VISION.
Bring a guitar and play a lovely tune. Take a shot in your convertible by the beach. Share an ice-cream. Steal his coffee. Be prepared to reveal your silly and playful side. Be a chef, cook her a meal from scratch. Visit your favourite French Cafe. Take her for a bike ride…
11. WHAT IF RAINED.
Carry clear umbrellas and you will be sorted assorted. The soft overcast light is gorgeous and it will bring out your chemistry beautifully.
12. WHAT TIME OF THE DAY IS BEST?
The golden hour is traditionally regarded as the time of choice. While light is the key however having fun is more important. Late afternoon shoots are ideal, as you ease into the shoot the light starts to get softer and softer and complements your feelings and emotions
