“I love this Rainbow Bay location – especially for a fun engagement shoot – because of the direction the beach faces. It gets the best of both the east and west skies at sunset – beautiful golden light in the west and then the pinky purples in the east. In winter this beach is always really quiet at sunset – and afterwards we can head to the surf club for a beer!” – Nicola

“I absolutely love the rugged rock formations, open air and always amazing light of Fingal Head. It’s a perfect backdrop for a wedding portrait.” – Ryan

“There is so much to love about the Gold Coast hinterland – particularly as you’re always guaranteed an epic view and sunset. This image was shot on the hang gliders’ ridge on Tamborine Mountain as a storm cloud approached from the east. The timing was perfect.” – Ryan
