The Belair National Park in the Adelaide Hills, is a gem for engagement photography, and it was the perfect setting for Emily and James’ special shoot. Emily and James, a delightful couple, were briefly in town and seized the opportunity for their engagement session amidst Adelaide’s unpredictable weather. Fortunately, the sun decided to grace us, offering a radiant backdrop for their photos.

Their love story is as enchanting as the landscapes of Belair National Park. Planning to return to Adelaide for their wedding, this shoot was more than just a collection of pictures; it was a prelude to their lifelong commitment. Their chemistry was palpable, making my job as their photographer an absolute joy. The park, with its lush greenery and serene ambiance, mirrored the depth and tranquility of their relationship, making every shot a testament to their bond.

Belair Train Station

The historic Belair Train Station, with its architectural charm, was our first stop. The station’s timeless beauty provided a picturesque setting that complemented the couple’s style effortlessly. Emily and James, initially a bit camera-shy, quickly warmed up to the lens. My approach was simple yet effective – engaging them in lighthearted activities to elicit genuine smiles and laughter. This method not only helped them relax but also allowed their personalities to shine through in the photos.

Capturing moments at the Belair Train Station felt like traveling back in time. The station’s vintage vibe blended seamlessly with the couple’s modern love story, creating a beautiful contrast. Each frame highlighted their excitement and anticipation for the future, while the historic backdrop reminded us of the timeless nature of love.

Engagement Shoot

Moving deeper into the heart of Belair National Park, the scenery transformed into a sun-drenched forest, setting a magical stage for Emily and James’ engagement shoot. The natural lighting was a photographer’s dream, casting a warm, golden hue over the couple, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. Strolling through the park, we found enchanting spots that seemed tailor-made for their shoot.

In the midst of Belair’s lush landscapes, Emily and James’ connection was unmistakable. Their playful interactions, tender glances, and spontaneous laughter made for candid, heartfelt photographs. The park, with its tranquil paths and vibrant flora, echoed their love story’s vibrancy and depth, offering a picturesque canvas for their memories.

Fun with a Vintage Box Brownie

Adding a twist to the shoot, I introduced a vintage Box Brownie camera from my collection. This 70-year-old camera wasn’t just a prop; it was a bridge connecting the past and present. Emily and James were fascinated by its history and charm, and it brought a unique flavor to their engagement session. The Box Brownie symbolized the timelessness of love, much like their own story.

Using the Box Brownie, we experimented with different poses and angles, creating a fun, playful atmosphere. It was delightful to see Emily and James interact with the camera, their curiosity and joy adding an extra layer of authenticity to the shoot. This old camera, a witness to many love stories before theirs, now played a part in capturing their beautiful journey.
