Our dear friend, Aimmey and Phil are finally getting hitched in 2 weeks time! We are all buzzing with excitement, because it has been Aimmey and Phil’s long awaited dream to marry each other.

It has been a huge privilege to not only work with Aimmey at weddings or fashion shoots, but to truly regard her as one of my best friends. She is definitely one the kindest, hard working and generous human beings I’ve ever met. On top of that, her laughter is super contagious, that can turn around any bad day. Alan and I cannot wait to sit back and relax, and see Aimmey’s defining moment as she struts down the aisle in that one jaw-dropping couture dress by Craig Braybrook. Seriously, her gown is totally out of this world!

To celebrate her upcoming wedding and friendship, I want to share their beautiful journey when they first got engaged. Thank you Aimmey and Phil for letting me capture your engagement story. Much love, Karen

Remember TLC’s classic R&B album, CrazySexyCool? That’s exactly what came to mind when I hanged out with Courtney, Luke & their dog Macey in Docklands for their engagement session.

Crazy weather

Super sexy couple

Coolest tattoos.

Three’s a crowd?

Hey who needs a portable fan to give you hair movement when you got natural gusty wind? Ha, check out Macey, she doesn’t seem too fussed…

Oohh hotness! My fave couple shot of the day…

Aww…I love it when dogs get playful… but I’m not too sure about Macey biting on Luke’s nose. Hope it didn’t hurt!

Courtney was an absolute stunner and totally photogenic.  These are my favourite close-up images of Courtney + Macey. Courtney is going to look amazzzzing in her wedding dress.  Cannot wait!

Ray and Evangeline are the sweetest kind, the quirkiest pair with beautiful hearts who simply adore each other and aren’t pretentious about their faith and passion for Jesus. They are also one of our dearest friends and we were over-the-moon when they asked us to spend their wedding day not only as guests but as their wedding photographers.

Ray and Evangeline are environmental friendly giants. Believe it or not, it’s rare that I meet people who would make the effort to reuse or buy recycled materials as much as possible. I remember staying up late one night in New York watching a show on “the life of rubbish” and the images of houses residing near landfills of filthy rubbish had binned my bad habits for life. I’m now a self-confessed recycling junkie. Anyway, my point is that I was really excited when Evangeline told me she wanted a “green” DIY wedding –Peeled-back labeled jars, 100% recycled paper-pulp wedding invites, vintage suitcases just to name a few. Knowing their personalities, we knew they wanted a unique wedding that represented them as a couple and who they are individually, and this even meant wearing glasses (no-contact lens) on the wedding day! I’m so impressed!

Country-inspired theme was what we had in mind for Ray and Evangeline’s engagement shoot. Think 60s styled suitcases, checkered shirts, Converse sneakers, Wedge heels, and cardboard picture frames sprawled with fancy cartoon drawings set in Melbourne’s Western suburbs. Ray and Evangeline were spoiled with fields of gold Canola flowers and gorgeous sunlight. All credit is due to our talented photographer and friend, Katie from Heart Story who actually found this same sweet spot for our very own couple shoot! More about our couple shoot later.













We had a lot of fun hanging out, swapping stories including my clothes, and watching them kiss in front of our cameras (and they weren’t shy about it!). Thank you Ray and Evangeline for your companionship and being such great models!
