Exposure: Fiona + Bobby

Great things come out of the most unexpected little alleyways. We took these newlyweds down to The Rocks and encouraged their fun-loving personalities to come out to play, just as the sun peeped around the corner of the houses.

We were on a larger family portrait session and these two young boys dove into the overgrown grass looking for adventure, separate to the rest of the group. Capturing the essence of childhood between two that share a strong bond is magical.

We just love how the dog joined in with the family bonding moment. Brings a smile to our faces every single time we see this image.

Playing with the light and making it work to your advantage can sometimes be a risk, but more often than not, that light can be a very willing participant in the moments you capture.

We love bringing some vibrancy and fun to the images to contrast against the more silent ones. Fiona set them up and Bobby grabbed his camera, ran across the street, and fired up the wedding party to cheer triumphantly.

A candid image of the bride and groom in Palm Springs, California, enjoying a moment or two before the ceremony. Bobby likes to find little places to hide and snap a few candid shots.

Patterns, light and people are some of the most fascinating elements to sew together. As Bobby walked out of the building, he noticed the light catching the texture and pattern in the wall, and quickly asked the bride and groom to stand against the backdrop for a more dramatic image. The splash of red in the corner is just enough to break this image up a little.

Whilst exploring a forest late in the afternoon, we found that the way the light was peeping its head through the canopy was simple enchanting. I asked Bobby to stay seated where he was, and snapped a few frames as it slightly grazed the side of his face.

Watching Fiona walk through the leaf-laced paths of this forest, I couldn't ignore the backlighting as she played around with nature.

One thing we both adore witnessing is walls diminishing in the presence of a camera, and authentic love manifested. It's inspiring to see it reflected on the faces of our muse. The blessing of having a family spout from that union is incredibly special.

Those unexpected moments, where the smiles say so much more than words. We had left this couple within their bubble of time, whilst their other son was running around just off camera.

When the intensity of the post ceremony celebrations had calmed down, we whisked these two away to a beautiful little park close to the church. They took a few breaths and savoured the moments from that day.

Whilst Bobby was trying to keep the little girls attention, I snuck around the corner to capture the same shot, but from the back. I love how you can see the father and mother on the sides entertaining her to keep her laughing.

The love of a mother embracing the tiny body of her daughter, encapsulating her in a love so passionate is incredibly special.

This couple cherish the love that this old, little dog has brought into their lives. You can see the frailty in her tiny expression, and the adoration on the faces of the couple.
