Alayna and Brett

The Sunshine Coast provides such an amazing backdrop for engagement photos and Edwina Robertson Photography did a beautiful job not only capturing the incredible backdrop mother nature provided but the intimate and beautiful love of Alayna and Brett. Add in a gorgeous colourful blanket, the setting sun and that stunning beach.

As for how they met? Alayna says only, “It’s amazing where one tequila shot can lead… ”

On what she loves about Brent, Alayna tells, “I love Brent’s excitement level, it never drops below 150%. He’s always up to mischief and constantly makes me laugh. He also inspires me to better myself daily, he is a perfectionist in everything he does.”

Funny stories a plenty form a decade of loving each other. “When you have been together for 10 years and the two of us can’t be serious to save ourselves, it’s very hard not to have funny stories. One of the first memories we have is on one of the first “dates” we were walking back from the restaurant, having a ball and carrying on. All of a sudden, with no warning I fell into a massive bush (it had nothing to do with the wine or the size of the heel I was wearing, I swear) Brent, still to this day gives me curry for it and laughs like it just happened.”

The proposal was rather exotic, Alayna recalling, “We were in Brazil on Christmas day, everything was like out of a movie!! In the morning had a whole beach to ourselves. We out in the water swimming when a pod of dolphins starting swimming within meters of us, it was nothing less than magic!! The (day) continued to be of this level and Brent knew today would be the perfect day to pop the question. At sunset we walked down to a beach where we were surrounded with palm trees , it was like a pure tropical island hideaway. As the sun was about to disappear Brent got down on one knee and asked he for my hand in marriage, I was in my togs and Brent was in his boardies, it was all so relaxed and perfect!!! I couldn’t of asked for anything better!”

On what he loves about Alayna, Brent tells, “The way Alayne makes anything that seems stressful into a moment of peace, she is the most laid back person you’ve met. She is always up for an adventure and loves the beach just as much as I do.”

“Brent loves the surf, so we joke that we chose Point Cartwright so he could check the surf. Point Cartwright just felt right that the shoot be held there. When Brent proposed in Brazil he presented me with a cute little necklace and said when we returned home we would look at rings as he was scared he would pick a ring that I didn’t love (Just for the record I would of loved any ring he chose). So when he had the actual ring (which I am in LOVE with and HE did choose it in the end) he took me down to Point Cartwright to re-enact that beautiful Christmas day.”
