Kate & Matt’s Engagement

I have known kate and her family for a few years, so when she told me she and her partner Matt were engaged, and asked me to shoot an engagement session for them, I jumped at the opportunity. She lives on a small farm in Whiteman’s Valley, Upper Hutt, so I decided to head out there to use the property for the e-session. We picked the right evening for it, but I didn’t realise how much shorter the days had become over the last couple of weeks, so the light was disappearing quickly and we had to work fast!

We made the most of hay bales, the tractor (which they REALLY wanted photos with), their private creek running through the property, and empty rural roads. We had a lot of fun, and it was a nice way to send them off on the three-month trip to the UK that they were leaving for the next day. Enjoy, and please feel free to leave thema  comment!

The photograph of them looking at each other, nose to nose, genuinely made me smile. Reminds me so much of my husband and I…. what you can say with a look like that.

You can tell that you really put them at ease for these shots, they are relaxed and fun!
