Joanne & Jackey

There was something about this ethereal anniversary shoot that drew me in today. Pictures & Hearts joined with Sophie Lau and florist Sarah Kelman Flowers to capture the first wedding anniversary of Joanna and Jackey who wanted to commemorate their first year with beautiful photographs.

Joanna and Jackey tell the story of how they met. “We met at University. Although we were not studying the same Major, but we were classmates in a number of courses and we were part of a group of friends that hung out together. We were good friends for almost 4 years but we never considered each other as partner until we were working at a late night shift job together. We shared many stories and watched the sunrise in the morning at Coogee beach. That’s how we fell in love.”
