Mike and Cathie – Sunshine Coast Engagement

Cathie and Mike are just the most chill couple I’ve ever met! They were pretty much open to any adventure I could come up with. We met for a quick beer at the Lighthouse Pub to meet in person and get to know each other! We had originally intended to go to a different spot I had scouted out, but I’m always open to changing plans and just listening to what people really want. But both mentioned how much they love Davis Bay! So we made the choice to dump Plan A and head for Plan B! And since we had beautiful clear skies, I knew we would get some magical photos. Davis Bay is just so iconic. The wharf, the beach, everything about it makes for gorgeous shots. You simply cannot beat the golden glow!

They don’t live here, so I’m sure they will love looking at the stunning sunset photos we got there! There is really is nothing like that setting sun over the wharf and beach. I never tire of this view! They had never had professional photographs done of themselves, so they were a little nervous to be doing a session. I hear that so many times from my couples, and always love the chance to do their engagement photos before I photograph their wedding. I like to view it as a way to meet with the couple in person and just get to know them a bit! I find out all sorts of information that I may be able to use to put them at ease when the big day comes. Its kind of like a little training and coaching session really. By the time the big day comes, they fully know how I work and usually just get into the flow of the wedding and let me capture them and their special day!

We even had local entertainment when a sailboat hit the reef near the creek.  And the tide was going out!!  But in the end someone came to the rescue and pulled it off!
