Aimee & Adam

If there is a better time for engagement photos than the setting of the sun, I’d like to know because it gets me every single time. Aimee and Adam’s relaxed sunset engagement photos have a beautiful magic to them. The golden glow as the sun sets, their intimacy and love and the beautiful show Mother Nature put on. All captured beautifully by Lisa Hayman.

Aimee tells, “We have a relaxed lifestyle and love being outside playing with the dog, working in our veggie patch, or having a glass of wine in the backyard. We liked our style shoot as it was natural, fun, less scripted, and relaxed which matched our personality. Our photographer Lisa has this style in her photos.”

Aimee recounts the story of how she met her fiance. “Adam and I met 6 years ago on Melbourne Cup Day back in Newcastle, NSW. We met through mutual friends that day. The following week, we caught up for a casual coffee, which then resulted into regular afternoon drinks and dinner dates.”

The proposal? A decadent delicious day of treats and surprises. Aimee tells, “Adam planned a long weekend away in the Yarra Valley, VIC. It was a beautiful weekend away where we stayed at the historic homestead, Chateau Yering. We started the day off with a hot air balloon ride, followed by a wine tour where we drank wine and ate cheese all day. We enjoyed relaxing at Chateau Yering homestead, and this is where Adam popped the question overlooking the amazing vineyards.”

Aimee remembers, “We have had many funny adventures throughout our 6 years together, from swimming with crocs in the Cage of Death in the Northern Territory, our road trip through the centre of Australia where we got a flat tyre in the middle of nowhere and a dingo stole our thongs, enjoyed happy hour cocktails in Ubud, Adam would laugh at my style when we would play golf, or laughing so hard when we were cruising down the roller coaster in Datanla Falls, Vietnam! ”
