This set of images have been lurking on my laptop\u00a0since July and I should have posted them sooner —<\/p>\n

I met the couple when I actually just reached out to Melissa from Ashdown & Bee<\/a> to collaborate with some projects\/shoots. Being new since I moved to Sydney, I’m\u00a0more than happy\u00a0to connect more to local creatives around, too and to\u00a0keep my creativity going at the same time.<\/p>\n

so we set out a date to do their engagement portraits one sunshiny winter day last July. I was so eager to bring them to the Wall’s Look Out in the Blue Mountains and when I asked them that we might do a bit of a hike, they were totally game for it. After postponing the shoot due to a previous bad weather (in fact a storm), we finally got lucky with a glorious sunset light towards the end. I was literally hyperventilating (i probably always do in every shoot)<\/em> photographing these two while we\u00a0took pleasure\u00a0in\u00a0the awe-inspiring\u00a0views despite that\u00a0winter cold.<\/p>\n

I am ever\u00a0so glad and grateful I got the chance to meet such creative couple like Simon & Melissa, whose hearts are as passionate as their souls. They were naturally beautiful to photograph, I could\u00a0feel that warmth of love glowing from them (really!) and sweetly even finishing the same sentences together. That kind of love is truly just special!<\/p>\n

And oh Blue Mountains, you’ve changed the way I look at life’s perspectives\u00a0and you never cease to enthral me. I have to look for another word to replace “breathtaking” because I sure have overused it a lot!<\/p>\n
