Melita and Brett's Engagement Shoot

Melita and Brett's engagement shoot took place in Kings Park just a few days before Christmas. We had a good run with the weather for this particular shoot. First of all, it was before the Perth summer really hit (read: heat wave), and secondly, the on-off rain on that day cleared just as we began the shoot.

We talk a lot about the weather here, but it's a pivotal element which defines how each photographer shoots on the day. On this particular day, the diffused, post-rain evening glow allowed us to produce images like this:

That, and how game our couple was. Melita was a natural in front of the camera, which left Brett with no choice but to play along ;)

Kings Park was the site of Brett's proposal to Melita, so it was a natural choice for this shoot.

We asked Brett to recreate the proposal...

... and Melita made sure to examine the ring properly, this time around!

Ahhh the romance between them is so very evident.
