Milk Beach Engagement: Katrin and Julian

I was nerve-wreckingly a bit nervous about this session because the couple only wanted one photographer and I had never worked alone before. Also, this was a TEST session, to check if I was up to scratch when (if) the time would come to photograph their wedding. If I failed, I knew I would forever disappear to the other side of the World (oops I already live there), bury all my photography gear (ok, sell it on eBay), and of course change my identity so that I could not be recognised in the street as that girl who failed the test engagement session.
Luckily for me the couple was fun and easy to work with, and Katrin looked like she came straight from her latest movie in Hollywood. I felt like I should be paying her to pose in front of the camera. Everything went smoothly and I was given the green light for the Big Day (still as a single shooter, how will I ever take sharp photos with wobbly knees??).

Now, did I mention the location?? Please do not contact me if you're not getting married at Strickland House/ Milk Beach, because I don't think anything can compete. On one hand you have a heritage building that looks like it's coming straight out of a movie studio, on the other you have a deserted beach with the city skyline in the background as an option. Forget the Eiffel Tower or Bora Bora, this place is the new black.
