Whonnock Lake Sunset Love: Candid Moments and Lily Pad Adventures

August 15, 2023
Engagement  ·  Featured  ·  Lifestyle  ·  Photography

Meet Marieka and Chad – a couple so head over heels for each other that spending an evening at Whonnock Lake was an adventure waiting to happen. And guess what? I got to capture every bit of it, right from their genuine laughs to their romantic moments.

We had a plan, a vision, and a whole lot of excitement. Our goal? To let their love shine through as the sun set over the tranquil waters of Whonnock Lake. But this wasn’t just about a sunset; this was about capturing the essence of their connection.

As the sun gently lowered itself, casting a warm golden glow across Whonnock Lake, our adventure began. And what an adventure it was! Marieka and Chad stepped into the scene, and their chemistry was electric. No awkward poses or forced smiles – just genuine love and shared laughter.

But hold on, because things were about to get even better. They decided to take a splash – yup, right into the lake they went, clothes and all! There’s something incredibly liberating about two people letting loose and having a blast. And let me tell you, those candid shots were a true reflection of their joy.

As the sun continued its descent, we switched things up a bit. Floating amidst the lily pads, Marieka and Chad embraced the enchanting setting. With the changing sky above and the sun’s final bursts of color, it felt like a scene from a dreamy painting.

They held each other close, surrounded by the serenity of the water and the beauty of nature. It was a moment frozen in time, where everything else faded away, leaving just their love and the magic of the evening.

With each click of the camera, their story was immortalized. The laughter, the splashes, the serene lily pads – every element told a unique tale of Marieka and Chad’s connection. It’s moments like these that make being a photographer an absolute joy.

And that’s the wrap, my friends! An evening of laughter, lake splashes, floating among lily pads, and a love that radiates authenticity. It’s these genuine connections that fuel my passion for what I do, and I can’t wait to capture more stories like Marieka and Chad’s.

 They’re for the days when your baby asks, “What did you look like when you were pregnant with me?”
 Let’s give them something to hold

They’re not about skipping the celebration—they’re about shifting the focus.

Elopements strip everything back to what matters most: the two of you. No pressure, no packed timeline—just space to be present, breathe it all in, and feel every moment unfold naturally.
⁠
It’s less about centrepieces and seating charts, and more about connection. About choosing a location that speaks to you, saying your vows with wind in your hair, and letting the day flow the way you want it to.
⁠
Weddings are beautiful. Elopements are too—just in a different, slower, quieter way.

I’d love to know … which would you choose?

Their wedding plans may have been paused, but their love story never skipped a beat.

After a pandemic, two sweet boys, and a whole lot of life in between—Stephanie brought her wedding dress out for the very first time last week. And let me tell you… it was pure magic.

No aisle, no guests, no timeline. Just the two of them, golden hour light, and the quiet reminder that love doesn’t always follow a schedule—but it always shows up.

This one felt extra special✨
