She's been apprenticing/second shooting with me on some of my recent weddings, and is such a funny, warm person to have around. Shelley is from South Africa, but moved over to NZ a couple of years ago. She is incredibly keen to learn, very creative, and very talented. I'm looking forward to seeing her business grow here! Her and Bailey are getting married next month in Arrowtown, and since Shelley knows the value of having a pre-wedding photoshoot, we set up an engagement shoot last week in Dunedin.

The good thing was, we've been having such lovely, summery weather we knew that an evening shoot would be really warm and pleasant. Except on Saturday...... when it was FREEZING!!! I tell you what, I had a thermal top on and a coat, and my fingers were still going slightly numb. Shelley and Bailey dressed for summer, but don't they look really warm, and happy... and young..... and in love?!

I can't wait for the wedding!
