Sweetheart Session - Whint and Dallas

"We never expected to find love," Whint and Dallas explained to me as we sat under a the canopy of an old tree at Brisbane's New Farm Park. They were telling me their story of how they met.

"We were both looking for something fun and casual, but ..." Whint breaks off into a laugh. "Here we are!" said Dallas with a smile.



I photographed Whint and Dallas last week up in balmy Brisbane, in preparation for their wedding in September. It was a marvel to see their implicit tenderness towards each other.



In their ''spare'' time, these two like to dance. And can they dance! I promptly put my two left feet away.



Whint is also a photographer. It's such a huge honour when another photographer chooses you to photograph their wedding. It's something extra special.



Just adore this one of Dallas. Warm and beatuiful, just like him really.



See, there's that tenderness again.



Whint said she felt nervous about being on the other side of the camera. She was really wonderful though, relaxed and natural and really giving of herself.





Below would have to be one of my favourite shots from the session. I love their eyes, their intensity, the way they look through you. But at the same time the photo feels quite serene to me. Gentle even. I love it when a photo can be more than one thing at one time.



It makes me feel good knowing that even if you're not looking, love will find you. Just like it did for Whint and Dallas.
