Cairns Urban Photoshoot – Harley & Sean

Cairns urban photoshoot | urban engagement photos | Cairns wedding photographer

When people think of engagement photos or wedding photos in the Cairns area – most will imagine sandy beaches, tropical coconut trees, rainforest, maybe sugar cane fields.

So when we heard that Harley and Sean were keen for something a little outside the box, it was a fun prospect.
Back in Auckland we shoot many urban weddings, so we drew inspiration from the type of locations we look for there … cool light, strong colours, bold shadows.

The best part is that these locations are often places that you’d never give a second glance to if you’re walking past – but they photograph beautifully!

We loved the way that Harley’s pink hair pops out as a splash of colour in these locations too – it adds an extra edge that really makes it.

Our engagement shoot wrapped up with a few natural photos down on the Esplanade, close to where their wedding will eventually take place.

Here’s a little sneak preview of the images – enjoy!

Doing an engagement session is a really cool way to get to know your photographer before the wedding day, and have a ‘test run’ to see how the whole process feels, what it’s like to be photographed. Of course, the bonus is a bunch of beautiful photos you get to keep, too!

That way, once the wedding rolls around, it’s more like having friends there with a camera, and makes for much more relaxed, natural feeling wedding photos.
