I had the incredible honour of photographing Elle and Mitch’s engagement session at Cook Park in Orange, NSW. This location is truly special to them as it was the site of their first date over 11 years ago. To see them return here to celebrate their engagement was a beautiful full-circle moment.
Their journey to this new chapter in their lives is nothing short of magical. It began with a trip to the UK, where their first stop was London. They planned to place a lock on one of the many iconic bridges.
A few days into the trip, they found the perfect spot on Westminster Bridge. Together, they placed the lock and threw one key into the water for good luck. What happened next was pure magic. Mitch pulled out a little Pandora gift bag, and inside was another padlock, engraved with the words “Will you marry me, Elle?” He then got down on one knee and proposed right there, creating a moment that they—and I—will never forget.
Capturing these intimate and heartfelt moments is why I love what I do. Congratulations, Elle and Mitch! Your love story is inspiring, and I’m honoured to have been a part of it. ❤️🔒💍
