Christie & Nathan in Love- Pokolbin Engagement Session {Sydney Wedding Photographer}

About a month ago I shared a sneak peek from this engagement session held in picturesque Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley. I’m sure I’ve said this before, but WOW! It is such a beautiful place. I was hoping to make the most of the morning fog this day, but unfortunately mother nature decided to cry and bucket a months worth of rain in one morning. Fortunately by the afternoon the rain had cleared enough for us to shoot. There is something about overcast days that can be quite beautiful so I think it was the perfect backdrop for this session!

Christie and Nathan will be married in September in Sydney with their reception at the L’Aqua located in the beautiful Darling Harbour. I love shooting in Sydney so I’m very much looking forward to their wedding!

Christie and Nathan thanks for laughing at my sad jokes and having fun with me during this session. I have no doubt your wedding is going to be beautiful!

Gorgeous Family+Beautiful Props+Beach+Golden Light= Amazing Family Photographs♥ {Sandgate Family Photographer}

This gorgeous family enjoyed an afternoon of photography courtesy of a friend of who had purchased the session as a birthday gift for Alison and Anthony. Their two daughters were so wonderful to work with and full of gorgeousness! I love this session for 100 reasons, but mainly because I think it captures the essence of what family photos are all about; capturing moments and having fun!

The styling in this session was done by the lovely Katy from Hummingbird Vintage Hire.

Enjoy! ♥Shayla

Ross and Natalie’s Engagement Session {Hunter Valley Gardens Wedding Photographer}

For this engagement session, we braved the overcast, rainy weather to get some beautiful engagement photographs of Natalie and Ross during my time in the Hunter Valley last month. Despite the tragic weather, these guys embraced it and we ended up with some gorgeous photos as a result. I am super excited to be photographing their wedding at the Le Montage in Sydney later this year and I am quite certain Natalie is going to make a beautiful bride:)

Hope you enjoy!

Kyla and Andrew’s beautiful Hunter Valley Wedding {Peppers Creek Barrel Room; Pokolbin Wedding Photographer}

You may remember Kyla and Andrew from their gorgeous Sydney engagement session I photographed last year. There is something quite special about photographing the wedding of someone you already know, and I have to admit it always gives me extra goosebumps when I see my friends in their wedding dress for the first time. What a gorgeous bride!

Kyla and Andrew ‘tied the knot’ at the Peppers Creek Chapel in Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley, which was followed by a beautiful reception at the Peppers Creek Barrel Room (also located on site). What a gorgeous, beautiful day! The weather in NSW had been a little crazy leading up to the day, but fortunately turned on the charm for us when it mattered most.

As a photographer, although we are snapping away taking photos throughout the day, we are paying close attention to detail and are fortunate enough to view some really special moments. I love being a fly on the wall and enjoying these moments through the viewfinder of my camera. I loved seeing Kyla and Andrew so happy together and sharing such a special day with close friends and family. Kyla being a lover of dance, managed to put quite a few personal touches into the wedding reception which was so much fun! My favourite moments were the glances they made towards each other, where you could see the love and respect they have for one another. 

Kyla and Andrew, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your special day and I wish you the very best in your new future together as husband and wife.

A massive thank you to my 2nd shooter Rich Low who photographed the boys getting ready and was a great help to me throughout the day. Some of his photos have been used below.

ps: It’s definitely worth turning on your favourite love song while you look at these!
