Beverly + Ross … •☾• … Pink Cliffs Sunset Engagement
“I saw your on Instagram at about 2am when I was browsing and couldn’t sleep, and I was so impressed that when I woke up I wondered if I had just dreamed about finding the perfect photographers for our day. Luckily, I took a screenshot of your home page before falling asleep, so I’m contacting you in hopes that your many travels bring you near the Yarra Valley in October 2018!” ~ Beverly
Hello Lovers,
When we see enquiries like Beverly's, we just want to pack our bags and jump on it because we know we will have a great time shooting weddings of couples who enquire like this. But the stars don't always align and with a Brisbane wedding booked for the day before Beverly & Ross' Stones of the Yarra Valley wedding, we had to bite the bullet and pass.
Nonetheless, we thought we should meet these two beautiful souls. As soon as we touched down in Victoria in March this year, we invited them over for an engagement session, just for the heck of it and just as an excuse to drink champagne and explore a beautiful photo location that Doruk and I had scouted out. The results are below and we hope you enjoy having a browse.
Doruk, Amber and I are roaming around in Victoria again NOW for a few weeks again, so if you would like to schedule a session with us at the beautiful pink cliffs featured below or at Cactus Country, Tahbilk Winery, Melbourne City, the Pink Lake Reserve or any other epic location, use the contact form below this post to get in touch and book yourselves in. If June is no good, we're back in August, October, December and next year, so no rush.
PS: ALL our couples tell us they never had their photos taken before and that they are no models, including Beverly and Ross. But then see what happens. All the magic. You don't need to be a model to get beautiful photos. Being madly in love is more than enough. xx Tina & Doruk
More Engagements
“When I hired Tina, Doruk and the Lovelenscapes team, I didn't know that I would also be making lifelong friends.
Their photography is perfection. They worked with me to sort out a vision and theme for my engagement photoshoot and produced something beyond my wildest imaginations. They instantly made myself and my fiancé feel so comfortable. Everything felt natural and it was such a beautiful and romantic moment and the photos they captured really show that. Their style is so artistic and unique I truly haven't seen anything like it. I knew that any photos they took would be reflective of our relationship and be rare. They really are works of art.”
Stormy skies and the mountains. When in Meteorological doubt, we always decide to make a run for it, and we’re so glad we did for Ai-Vi & Matt’s beautiful engagement photos. Their photos turned out quite painterly, romantic and intimate and we used a fine art editing technique to bring exactly that mood to the forefront. This shoot got under my skin and kept me up at night for its beauty and its portrait of two sweet souls in love. We hope you can feel it all with us.
It’s as majestic and picturesque as Mount Coolum, but nowhere near as tough to climb. Needless to say Emu Mountain is an absolute gem for engagement sessions if you love mountains, perfect sunset views and a hint of ocean in the background. It’s wild and beautiful up there and it only takes 10 minutes to walk up. Nisa did it in heels. It’s easy.
We shot and produced one of our Signature Portrait Sessions for Nisa & Kevin, which meant they got the digital images, plus our Italian-made magazines and more in the mail to enjoy over the years.
We will let the photos speak for themselves. Congratulations, Nisa & Kevin. We can’t wait for your wedding later this year.
Maddie & Alex met many years ago, working behind the Whiskey Bar at The Regatta Hotel before pursuing their current careers as a Paramedic and Nurse {what a match!}. I looked up the colours of the place before the shoot, noticed the chocolate browns and asked Maddie about golden, sparkly outfit options. Turns out Alex had already gifted her the perfect golden dress for this shoot. Done. The End. Two emails into this and the entire thing was organised.
Maddie had a glass of Moët waiting for me. Alex swung around the ladder to find a whiskey for Doruk. We had to get with the program.
Moon and Venus were still up in the sky when we met with Mackenzie, Tim & furbaby Harper for our sunrise engagement photo session at Queens Beach in Redcliffe. Not all couples would be up to splashing around in the ocean at 13 degrees with their bare feet. We welcomed the day with a beautiful golden sunrise, smokebombs and florals that I made for Mackenzie, inspired by her auburn locks. We can’t wait for their wedding at The Hideaway at the Sunshine Coast in October. Enjoy looking through this little piece of sunrise magic. We’re up for shoots like these, always, always.
Come and join us for a winter stroll through the Beerburrum Pine Forest with Krish, Abs and baby Marley. These three recently had their engagement session with us amongst those endless rows of majestic pines. The light was magical, the sunset was golden - what more can we ask for.
We escaped Brisbane on Mother’s Day to get a glimpse of autumn at Mount Tamborine for Lisa & David’s sunset engagement photos. Our shoot took us from the Tamborine Botanic Gardens to Robert Sowter lookout and there were glorious autumn trees, a golden sunset and champagne to celebrate, so needless to say it was perfect.
Hannah is a brewer and Andrew is a winemaker and they are both working at one of our favourite wedding venues, Ocean View Estates, one hour out of Brisbane. They greeted us with a bottle of delicious Ocean View Sparkling in hand, which we drank later on while we edited their photos. Needless to say we instantly felt wonderful around these two and we can’t wait for their wedding coming up this May {super soon!!}.

What rain? Nothing phases this beautiful family of three. We had a weather forecast of scattered thunderstorms ahead of our engagement shoot out at Samford, but decided to go for it regardless. We were rewarded with a gorgeous moody sky and an extra charming session with Mich, Charles and their Australian Shepherd baby Frankie. I had spent the previous evening making some blush pink florals for Mich’s hat and for Frankie. They decided to use my wreath for Frankie at their wedding when she will be the ring bearer - so looking forward for all of that to go down this June.
