He proposed and she said Yes!

April 3, 2010

… Or something of that nature happened when Jeff (28) asked his gorgeous girlfriend Lisa (29) to marry him. Jeff contacted the studio to plan a photoshoot with a bit of a suprise thrown in – we were over the moon to be considered for such a special occasion. Since Jeff didn’t have anywhere special in mind we suggested the gorgeous Bare Island at LaPerouse which has such a great variety for portrait shoots and given the right weather the location can be awe-inspiring.

Lisa & Jeff had a little bit of difficulty picking their favourite photo from the session so they picked two:


Lisa and Jeff are such a cute couple and there is so much love between them. The session took a little bit of extra planning to make sure the timing was just right. For the proposal I had Lisa’s undivided attention so Jeff could grab the ring and propose. Once Jeff managed to get the ring out of his pocket it was just a matter of getting Lisa to turn around and notice – this was a little easier said than done as she was the perfect poser.

I love the cute little moment after the proposal where everyone is so emotional and noone has any idea what to say. “You haven’t actually asked me yet” Lisa told Jeff when he asked what her response was. Lisa’s and Jeff’s reaction was priceless – I got a little teary myself! Lisa’s gorgeous Sapphire ring – her favourite colour – was bought a while ago but she was still so shocked and suprised.
After the proposal we headed around the island and up on the bride for a few more hugs, kisses and of course photos.

We had lots of fun on this shoot and as the sun dropped and disappeared behind the clouds we were quickly running out of time. We did manage to squeeze in a few photos around near the water – Jeff didn’t want to get wet but Lisa was all in and loved a walk through the shallows. Unfortunately mother nature didn’t listen as a small wave headed for Jeff giving us plenty of laughs.


Congratulations to both of you, I wish you all the best in your new adventure into the world of wedding planning.
See you at the wedding!
