Happy Easter!

What a gorgeous day it is in Adelaide today. The sun is shining the temperature is perfect and its Easter Sunday which meant a nice long sleep in this morning followed by a surprise breakfast for Jarrod on our balcony, fresh hot omelets with prosciutto, mushrooms, red onion, vintage cheddar and baby spinach and a little fruit salad with lemon juice and a yogurt to finish. He then surprised me with an Easter egg hunt! My favourite! I'm still trying to find the last 4.

In celebration of this lovely occasion called Easter, here is a gorgeous engagement photo shoot by Galaxie Andrews I found on Green Wedding Shoes.

A backyard cheese party

On the weekend, I went to the engagement party of one of my bridesmaids. It was such a lovely relaxed atmosphere in her backyard with touches of yellow and lots of cheese! Even the cake was made of cheese! The weather was balmy and the wine was flowing and did I mention lots of cheese! Some of the most incredible cheese I have tasted!

Snow and Bows

Even though I'm rather an anti-winter/cold weather person, I do love the snow. Take a look at these engagement photos by Open Air Photography. How can you not love the snow when photos like these come out!

Save the date with scrabble...

Don't you hate finding brilliant ideas and thinking, why didn't i come up with that!? Well I am having one of those moments with these save the date images by He & She Photography. They capture such a fun and relaxed mood and you can tell their wedding is going to be the same! Can't wait for their wedding images to surface around blog world in the near future.

Picnic Engagement Shoot

Oh How adorable! This couple not only had a little picnic for their engagement photoshoot, but they brought their little fluffy white bunny! And even better, its name is Elvis. PERFECT! I love it when people include their pets in photoshoots, especially when its a little quirky x

Another charming engagement shoot

I love the tradition of engagement photo shoots, it isn't that popular here in Australia. It may have something to do with the differences in wedding budgets between the two countries. Gosh I would LOVE to do work experience with a wedding designer in the U.S. Somehow my and my new business partner's role (once we are fully up and running) will be to convince the brides of Adelaide that spending money on a wedding planner/designer iespecially ones as creative as us :) ) is worth while, and we don't need to spend a year or two's salary on their wedding. Anyway back to the topic of engagement photo shoots... There seems to be a 'space race' I guess you could call it, for who can come up with the most creative photo shoots. I have posted my favourites a while ago here and here and now this (along with the photo shoot in the post below) is a new addition to my favourite engagement photos.

I love these photos of laying out the picnic rug...hmmm perfect for my summer picnic wedding...might have to nick the idea! I can't help it if Erin Hearts Court are so creative it makes me jealous!
