Waimakariri River Autumn Engagement Photos
Waimakariri River Autumn Engagement Photos: Kelly and Phil’s couples shoot.
When autumn arrives in Christchurch the weather pretty much feels like winter weather, and so was the case the day we shot Kelly and Phil’s engagement photos.
In the late autumn afternoon sun, we met up with Kelly and Phil under the Waimakariri Rail River bridge. The couple had opted for this particular location because of the location’s privacy and of their outdoorsy nature.
Phil loves the spot as he is a 4-wheel drive fanatic and frequents the area. He even works on his on 4×4 vehicles for repairs and improvements.
To kick start the shoot, we utilised a dirt road nearby and some beautiful warm light that was coming through the autumn coloured tree leaves. We shot on the dirt road for a short period making use of the different backgrounds that were at our disposal.
The shoot then moved to the river bed where we finished off and put Phil out of the misery of being in front of the camera.
It was a fun and enjoyable shoot and was short and sweet.
Photography Tip
Help your subjects to feel relaxed in front of the camera. The more they relax, the better the images the that will result from the shoot.
