Wanneroo Engagement Session – Andrea and Brendan

As I was packing up my bags I had more than just a few butterflies. The weather was dreadful, I hadn’t shot in weeks after some time off and I adored this couple so much I felt more than a little performance anxiety.

But something magical happened while Andrea, Brendan and I spent a Saturday afternoon along southern Wanneroo, just a few minutes from both of our homes, and then onto the beach for their engagement session. The minute I saw them I felt at ease knowing how much they trusted me with their love. Little pockets of golden light appeared through the rain which gave us the most beautiful light filtered through the trees. I have always felt that the colours of the plants and earth seem almost in technicolour after the rain – and here is the evidence.

Andy and Brendan are getting married in December and after the fun we had at this shoot (sometimes at Brendan’s expense) I have high expectations for their wedding. Especially considering their adorable 10 month old daughter Olivia will be a part of it. She joined us for a few portraits at the beginning of the session before spending the remainder of the afternoon with her grandparents.
