Christine & Charles - Engagement Photo-shoot

I met Christine only a few weeks ago, and was really intrigued as she had just got engaged to Charles and they were planning their wedding in only 10 weeks. This is a whirlwind engagement, although they have been together for 8 years. Meeting with Christine over coffee, I realised one thing about this couple, they are well organised and focused, if anyone could get this done in such a short time, they would!

I was super excited when she told me where they wanted their engagement shoot - an airfield incorporating a few airplanes!

The day was really fun, but poor Christine almost froze to death when we did the sunset photos, at least Charles got to keep his jacket on! I felt so bad for her, but I think we can all agree, it was worth it! Thank you to the lovely ladies, Chris and Sherrie, who ran around with us, carrying all the equipment and holding reflectors and scrims!

I asked Christine a few questions about her and Charles, the answers put a big smile on my face, and I am so priviledged to have met this down-to-earth and cool couple! I can't wait to shoot their Wedding next month at Casalinga, I know it will be an awesome wedding. I wish Christine and Charles many more happy years together and hope they loads of time in the air doing what they love together!

How come an Airfield for your Engagement Shoot?
We both have a passion for aviation, Charles has his commercial pilots license and I have my student pilots licence. After 7 years I realised Charles will never change. Its aeroplanes aeroplanes aeroplanes, so I decided if I can't beat them, I might as well join them!!! (his dad and brother also have pilots licences, and his granpa did as well) You can only imagine our dinner conversations :)

We really are the best of friends and have so much fun together!

How did Charles pop the question?
He proposed at Mount Grace on top of the mountain. When we got back to the car a lady was there crying. She had reversed into our new hilux :( so we spent the next 2 hours at the police station. Then it rained - only on our car!!! (now I sound like a drama queen but its true). When we got to his folks place his mom got the champagne out and the broke 2 of his great Grannys crystal glasses and when we got home our gate motor blew up. So we went into lockdown!

So we figured if so much unluckiness happened on the first day, the rest of our lives should be a breeze:)
