Jenny & Chet’s Sydney Town Hall Engagement

On a sun-drenched Easter Saturday afternoon, I captured Jenny and Chet's engagement shoot at Sydney Town Hall. The historic charm of the location, combined with the couple's genuine affection, provided the perfect backdrop for some truly memorable shots. It was a fun, relaxed session that allowed me to expertly capture their love and excitement for the future while living in the moment.

This Sydney couple contacted me about capturing their upcoming Bimbadgen Palmers Lane Wedding in the Hunter a while ago. We arranged a time to grab coffee at Jimmy Joans, and our client meeting turned into a few hours of discussing their wedding plans and just talking about everything. They're such chill people and had a clear vision of what they were after for the Hunter Wedding. Our connection was instant, and it was clear that they felt comfortable and at ease with me.

Since the wedding was quite a while away, we planned an epic Sydney Town Hall Engagement Shoot in the big city. What better time than the Easter long weekend? The still moments I created for the two of them amidst the rush and busyness of the city created a perfect balance of chaos and calmness like they were in the eye of the storm.

The contrast was beautiful. We explored locations such as The Town Hall, Queen Victoria Building, Hyde Park, Darling Harbour, and their surrounds, making for a diverse collection of portraits in the heart of Sydney CBD. Each location had its unique charm and added a different flavour to the shoot.

The stone exterior of Sydney Town Hall brings so much warmth to the images while the intricate patterns on the stairs on the side of the building add some romantic charm that coordinates the ornamental detail in the architecture of the Queen Victoria Building. Before heading towards Hyde Park, I used the Pool of Reflection Sydney to capture some glassy, minimalistic portraits of Jenny and Chet. Our last stop was at a place in Darling Harbour with significance to the couple, where they'd spent time together when they were newly dating. I love selecting locations and styles to suit my couples based on their preferences and what they'll vibe with most. It makes for some memorable photos unique to every couple I have the privilege to capture!

It was such a perfect day!

I also had it captured in a video Filmed by Andy; check out the Behind The Scenes video below.
