After having a Skype chat with Adel, I have to say I was so excited to meet her in person.
On a solo visit from Egypt, this bride-to-be and I met at Brunswick for lunch to plan for her big day!
Adel is such a fun and lovely girl with the most gorgeous ideas for her wedding celebrations.

As Adel and Paul live overseas, we decided to do their engagement shoot a few days before the wedding and also as a final meeting before the big day.
I hadn’t yet met Paul- so it was lovely to finally meet him in person after hearing so much about him from Adel.

On the day of the engagement shoot, the two lovebirds and I met in Port Melbourne by the beach.
The perfect night for the sunset and a relaxing session on the beach.

It was so nice to take them to a beautiful place they had not yet visited. I also suggested some nice dinner spots and bars for them to check out after the session :)

Adel and Paul were relaxed and chatting as we wandered along the beach..
The giggles between these two were just the most gorgeous thing ever!

The first photoshoot – Done!
What a wonderful sneak peek to how things would go on their wedding day.

I love these sessions because you get a great insight on how it all works and know what to expect on the day.

Couples tell me that it makes them feel very comfortable knowing that I will be guiding them every step of the way. My favourite thing to do is to capture the raw connection between you and your main squeeze.

You can walk and chat- just whatever is ‘you guys’! We want things to be as natural as possible. You know those candid shots.
Some poses make people laugh but it’s those laughs and giggles at each other that you will love the images of.

Thanks again for your time Adel and Paul. I can’t wait to share your stunning Abbotsford Convent wedding in the next short while. It was such a pleasure meeting you guys and capturing those sweet moments before you say your ‘I do’s’.

Lots of love,
Madeleine xx
