Karen Buckle Wedding Photographer Sunshine Coast Noosa Maleny Photography Blog | "The photos are amazing"

and the bride (to be) wore purple!

how cute is Lauren's dress! Lauren & Chris came to see me this afternoon for some engagement portraits. I LOVE doing these sessions! They're always so fun and we get to know each other in a way that's not possible in a normal meeting. Also, it's nice for the couple to walk away with some images of them being them! No stress or pressure just a bit of fun together! This is not meant to be hard, or awkward or uncomfortable and hopefully each couple that has one of these sessions feels right at home in front of the camera by their wedding day! 

 

 

Karina & Michael

This portrait session lasted oh about 5 minutes until the wind started blowing a gale and a sub tropical Noosa rainshower caused us to run for cover - lol

We're going to reschedule but these are a few photos i loved - and I think Karina will not love her hairdo but to me these are the best - so natural and real!

Sam & Katie

Sam & Katie are getting married this year. Sam is from the UK and Katie is from Buderim and I can only imagine the energy it takes to make cross continent love work. But this year they are getting married and Katie has moved to (chilly) London for love!  

I can tell they are going to have a lot of fun together wherever they are in the world!

 

 

Tiessa & Ryan (and the end of a huge year!)

Tiessa & Ryan are two of the loveliest people! Tiessa laugh's a lot and Ryan doesn't (more of a happy on the inside type guy) but it works! I'm so excited when couples come for an engagement portrait shoot. Makes their wedding way more relaxed and gives them some sweet "before" pictures. Thanks Ryan & Tiessa! 

On another note - I'm shooting my last wedding for this year today! This has been a massive year for me and after I finish taking care of all my 2011 brides and grooms I will be taking a break to be with my family! Thankyou so much for following my work. I appreciate you!

Sunday afternoon in Maleny looks a little like this... | Sally & Joel Engaged!

Sally & Joel are getting married this October in Brisbane so for their engagement portraits we did some more natural locations. Maleny was the perfect answer! And after some torrential rain on Saturday we were blessed with some gorgeous sunlight to play in!

colour me happy

omgosh i love the city for its colours and textures and people! I *sometimes* cheekily refer to the Sunshine Coast as "the middle of nowhere"  - i think i was a city girl in a past life? so when i get the opportunity to go anywhere near the city i am pretty excited and i have my eye out for pretty stuff - this day was all about colour and when i saw Kate's dress i was in heaven 

Kate & Grant are getting married this September and took the opportunity for a love shoot (engagement portrait session) before their wedding, which is an awesome icebreaker and a great practice run for the wedding, not to mention you get some fun images of you being you, well you when i am around -lol - Kate & Grant followed me wherever i took them and were so fun and brave and gorgeous!

 

 

pure and simple sweet love

Vanessa & Mike are gorgeous together. So natural and happy together. After 10 minutes I joked that we were done  but thats how beautiful they were.  That's how comfortable they are together. I loved witnessing their pure and simple  sweet love.

it must be love

Often he says 'I dont like photos' or she says 'he doesn't like having his photo taken' Well not many people do! Me included. But if you just go with it and have a bit of fun - there's really nothing to it! He's doing something he really doesnt think he wants to - it must be LOVE!

Lou and Chris Engaged

If these two are anything to go by 2011 is going to be awesome!
