Toward the end of 2011 I was invited out to a beautiful family owned vineyard, located near Rochford Winery in the Yarra Valley for this photo session.
I’ve got to say, the lead up to this date was a trifle hectic. Christmas was on the horizon, it was nearly the end of school/work for the year and life seemed to be spinning out of control.
Once I turned off the highway though, onto the road leading to this magical place, everything changed. It was a good time to take a deep breath.
Pru and Karl, young but with a love and affection for each other that felt so old and solid. Photographing them took me back a few years, made me remember what our unions are all about.
You know, I’ve often spent ages searching for locations to take my couples and families, for their photo sessions. I’d always be on the hunt for expanses of lush green lawns, cottage gardens and
tame, structured trees. All the while overlooking what was in my backyard. I have a new – brand new – appreciation for our beautiful gum trees. Graceful, old and comfortable. They hug our
landscape so well…and I’d never once used them as a backdrop before (on purpose anyway).
Enough rambling though. Hope you enjoy the photos. This one is dedicated to Karl’s grandfather.
Gorgeous session! So much love.
Gorgeous set
What stunning photos, I am Karls mum and just wanted to tell you how beautiful your work is. They are so natural and really captured the beauty of the land. I thank you very much and my Dad would be proud.
Hi Richele….wow, thank you for the beautiful compliment
It was a very special place to visit and I had such a lovely time taking the photos. If you would like to, perhaps email me at bek@littleredphotography.com.au and provide me with your address and I’ll send you a CD of the shoot.
