I love how the earth comes through when I need her to. Mala and Henri and I spent Sunday afternoon at the Zig Zag in Kalamunda after Perth had been showered upon almost continuously for 3 days prior. While the rosellas chattered and ate their dinner, and a wallaby hid and rummaged through the bush, we had a little fun capturing the uniqueness of their relationship in such a spectacular location. This shoot challenged me by being almost entirely in full sun. It made me think differently and embrace the rays of sun and their collection is now amongst my favourites because of it.
There were moments when I just wanted to drink in the atmosphere – whether it was listening to Henri play his guitar on a hilltop or hearing the wind rustle through the trees while the sun warmed our cold skin. We had quite a few magical moments and I am so pleased Henri and Mala were kind enough to let me experience them together.
After being together for 5 years, Mala and Henri are going to be married this October in the Swan Valley. Henri was looking at Mala with such joy and endearment during our casual outing in the hills, I can only imagine his reaction when he see her as his bride.
Angela, very nice! Aren’t they the nicest couple =) I love the location… that long-distance image with the sun on the horizon is beautiful.
Love your write-up too, so descriptive =)
