Sweetheart Session - Ashley and Richard [Melbourne, VIC]
Over a cup of tea, I asked something difficult of Ashley and Richard - I asked them to be themselves while I took their photograph. It's no easy feat. I know I'm guilty of over smiling, generally over doing it myself. So I knew I was putting ahead of Ashley and Richard no simple task.
But Ashley and Richard looked relieved when I asked them to be themselves. I'd inadvertently taken the pressure off them, the pressure to be some idea of perfect, and instead allowed them to relax and enjoy spending some time together. They chatted freely, laughed loudly, loved warmly. 
For a fleeting moment, Ashley looked exactly like Rose Byrne. 
My heart melted when I pressed the shutter on these next two photographs. I asked Ashley and Richard to show me their love, and they really really did. 
I can hardly wait the 29 days until Ashley and Richard's wedding. It's going to be, well, there's no other way to put it - it's going to be beautiful.
