one fine day photography

The other day, Michelle and I took our dogs to their favourite off-lead park to burn off a little excess energy.

For a change, I took a camera along! Bella is the German Shepherd Kelpie cross, and Mickey is the mini foxy. Here are some of my faves:

And because Gloves (our cat) would be offended if I didn’t include her, here are a few photos I took around the house recently

Ray and Nikita are both nurses. They met when they were both working at the same place. Before long, Ray had to start working elsewhere … something about rules preventing couples from working together?

It’s pretty clear that Ray’s love for Volkswagens is only surpassed by his love for Nikita. Nevertheless, Xena (his Kombi) did feature in their engagement session.

It’s also clear that Niki and Ray can’t help laughing non-stop!

We had a ball doing their e-session around Nobby’s and the Newcastle Baths. Enjoy!

I wonder who will be the first to correctly identify the country Niki grew up in?

This one has been a long time coming. Sorry, guys

Jackie and Ben decided to have their engagement session at Stockton, hoping it would work well for views of the Newcastle waterfront, which Jackie’s grandma was largely responsible for… back when she was the mayor!

As you can see, it proved to be an AWESOME place for a photo session. And we even got Newcastle in occasionally

Enjoy!

He thought he was leaving Holland for a year of backpacking around Australia. Ha! How little he knew

Martijn and Katrina met as housemates in a Newcastle share house. (Its steps featured in their e-session, if you’re curious )

The rest, as they say, is history!

Their wedding day was full of love, international visitors, and a rather unique blend of Dutch-Australian humour! Anyway, I’ll let the photos do the rest of the talking. Thanks so much for sharing the day with us, Katrina and Martijn! Thanks to Josh Stunell for assisting me too.
