Some love stories are so unique and heartfelt they feel like they&rsquo;re straight out of a romantic movie. Kirsten and Jake&rsquo;s journey to love is one of those tales &mdash; full of twists, laughter, and moments that leave you saying, &ldquo;This could be a screenplay!&rdquo;
When Kirsten and Jake entered my giveaway for an engagement session, they shared their incredible story and suggested a meaningful location: the&nbsp;Cathedral of Ferns bush walk in Mount Wilson. The ferns symbolize Kirsten&rsquo;s New Zealand heritage and hold a special place in their hearts, as this is where they celebrated their two-year anniversary. It was the perfect backdrop for their session, and I couldn&rsquo;t wait to bring their vision to life.

<h3 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">A Love Story Years in the Making</h3>
Kirsten and Jake&rsquo;s connection dates all the way back to kindergarten, where their friendship first began. Over the years, their bond grew stronger, but it wasn&rsquo;t without its hilarious misunderstandings. From near-confessions and awkward moments to both of them unknowingly being on the same page about their feelings but thinking the other wasn&rsquo;t, their story is a charming mix of serendipity and patience.
After years of friendship, countless long phone calls, and more than one missed cue, they finally got on the same page in 2021 and started dating. Earlier this year, Jake proposed during a magical trip to Hamilton Island, solidifying their journey from childhood friends to soulmates.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>The Session: A Walk Through the Ferns</h3>
Kirsten and Jake&rsquo;s engagement session was nothing short of magical. The&nbsp;Cathedral of Ferns&nbsp;provided a lush, vibrant setting with its towering trees and verdant foliage. Kirsten&rsquo;s idea of wearing timeless outfits in black and white, paired with the striking green backdrop, created an elegant and dreamy aesthetic. Her second outfit, a warm rust-colored dress, added a touch of earthy romance to the session.
As we wandered through the bush walk, we captured a mix of candid and posed shots. From quiet moments of them holding hands to bursts of laughter that lit up the entire forest, their love for each other radiated in every frame. One of the most memorable moments was when we played with light effects on the road&mdash;a dreamy sprinkle of magic that made their session feel straight out of a fairy tale.

<h3 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">What Made This Session Unique</h3>
The Cathedral of Ferns wasn&rsquo;t just a stunning location; it was a deeply personal one for Kirsten and Jake. The towering ferns represent not only a connection to Kirsten&rsquo;s heritage but also the journey they&rsquo;ve walked together&mdash;a reminder of their resilience and the beauty of finding love in the right timing.
Their willingness to share their story and embrace every moment made this session extra special. From soft embraces to joyful laughter, their personalities and connection shone brightly through every photo.

Kirsten & Jake’s Engagement Session at Cathedral of Ferns

One of the greatest joys of being a photographer is meeting incredible people and hearing their stories. Every session is an opportunity to connect, to celebrate milestones, and to create memories that are cherished for years to come. Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Renae and Andrew&rsquo;s beautiful family as they prepared to move back to Western Australia. It was such an honor to capture their connection and love at the stunning Orange Botanical Gardens.
&nbsp;
Renae and Andrew chose this location because it perfectly summed up their time in Orange. The gardens, with their sprawling greenery and towering trees, are a serene oasis that reflects the natural beauty of the region. It felt like the perfect backdrop to celebrate their journey and the memories they&rsquo;ve created as a family during their time here.
From the moment we began the session, it was clear just how much love and joy Renae and Andrew share with their two little ones. Their children were full of energy, curiosity, and laughter &mdash; making every candid moment feel magical. Whether it was holding hands, running through the open spaces, or snuggling together on a cozy bench, the family&rsquo;s bond was evident in every frame.
What made this session so special wasn&rsquo;t just the picturesque location or the golden light filtering through the trees. It was the genuine connection and warmth that Renae and Andrew exuded. As a photographer, these are the moments I live for &mdash; the authentic smiles, the shared giggles, and the little glances that speak volumes about a family&rsquo;s love.
Photographing Renae and Andrew&rsquo;s family also reminded me of the transient nature of life. As they prepare to start a new chapter in Western Australia, these images serve as a time capsule, preserving the memories of their time in Orange. It&rsquo;s a beautiful reminder of how photography allows us to hold onto moments that might otherwise fade with time.
&nbsp;
To Renae and Andrew: thank you for trusting me to capture these precious memories for you. Your family&rsquo;s love and kindness left a lasting impression on me, and I wish you all the best as you embark on this exciting new adventure. May these photos always bring you back to this chapter of your lives, filled with warmth, laughter, and the beauty of the Orange Botanical Gardens.
If you&rsquo;re looking to capture meaningful memories with your loved ones, let&rsquo;s create something special together. Whether it&rsquo;s a family session, an engagement shoot, or a milestone celebration, I&rsquo;d be honored to tell your story through my lens.

&nbsp;

<h3 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Crafting the Perfect Wedding Timeline:&nbsp;</h3>
When it comes to your wedding day, organization is key to making sure everything runs smoothly and all the special moments are captured beautifully. One of the best tools to keep your day stress-free is a well-thought-out&nbsp;runsheet. A runsheet is essentially a detailed timeline of your day, outlining where everyone needs to be and when&mdash;making life easier for you, your vendors, and your guests. As your photographer, I&rsquo;ll use it to ensure I&rsquo;m in the right place at the right time to capture every magical moment.
Here&rsquo;s everything you need to know about creating a wedding timeline and how to tailor it to suit your day:
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

<h3 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Sample Wedding Timelines</h3>

The Privilege of Capturing Love: A Photographer's Reflection

There are weddings that are hard to forget, and then there's Maddy and Ash's wedding. Set in the heart of Orange NSW, the Botanical Gardens provided a backdrop that was as elegant as it was natural, a perfect setting for their intimate nuptials. As a wedding photographer, capturing the essence of the day is always the goal, and in this case, the joy and love were palpable.
&nbsp;
From the moment I met Maddy and Ash, I could tell that their wedding was going to be special. Their love story is one that truly tugs at the heartstrings. The way they looked at each other, filled with so much love and adoration, it was clear to see why they chose to celebrate their union in such a beautiful and serene location.
&nbsp;
The Botanical Gardens of Orange NSW offered the perfect harmony between the sophistication of a meticulously manicured garden and the wild beauty of nature. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers created an atmosphere that was both inviting and romantic. As a photographer, I was thrilled with the abundance of stunning natural backgrounds for capturing the couple's special moments.
&nbsp;
One of the highlights of the day was undoubtedly the ceremony itself. With close friends and family gathered, Maddy and Ash exchanged vows under a beautiful floral archway. The intimacy of the wedding was truly special, creating an atmosphere of warmth and love that was almost tangible. As the couple sealed their vows with a kiss, the applause and cheers from their loved ones echoed throughout the garden, marking the beginning of their new journey together.
&nbsp;
But what made Maddy and Ash's wedding truly memorable was the people. The close-knit group of family and friends that gathered to celebrate their love story made the day all the more special. The laughter, the tears of joy, the warm congratulatory hugs, and the shared dances - every moment was filled with true happiness and love, making it a pleasure to capture.
&nbsp;
As the day came to an end, the setting sun painted the sky with hues of pink and orange, casting a beautiful glow over the Botanical Gardens. It was the perfect end to a perfect day, a day that was as beautiful and unique as Maddy and Ash's love story.
&nbsp;
Every wedding I have the opportunity to photograph is unique and special in its own way, but Maddy and Ash&rsquo;s intimate wedding at the Botanical Gardens was truly a day to remember. Here's to Maddy and Ash, may their love continue to blossom like the beautiful flowers in the garden where they said 'I do'.
