The sun was shining and from across the fountain, I saw a pretty lady with a tall guy walking towards me. I wasn’t sure whether or not it was them, but when Tiara flashed a warm smile at me, it confirmed whatever doubts I had! What a relief it was as I was a tad bit worried I would end up approaching the wrong couple >.< We never had the opportunity to meet prior to that day, having only communicated via email from a couple of months ago so it was really nice to finally put faces to what before this were only names in my emails.

Aaron and Tiara had just returned from a weekend down south where they had a wedding ceremony which was attended by their family members and close friends. And the after-glow of the newlyweds, the nuances in their gestures which indicated the intimacy between them, the way they looked at each other, all this actually made me feel a biiiiit voyeuristic throughout the portrait session. But voyeur’s good, for that made for easy shooting ;)

On the day of our session, there was an exhibition at the park which was in conjunction with the annual Art & About exhibition organised by the city. Decided to use a few of the pictures as a backdrop as I thought they were rather apt for our session.

I feel happy when I look at this shot :D I love love. Wheeeee!

The moment I took this shot, was also the moment they were telling me how Aaron had proposed to Tiara :) Suh-weet!

And coincidentally, where the venue of the proposal could be seen from the park! Yes, he proposed to her at the Sydney Tower over a romantic dinner :)

Aaron & Tiara, congratulations again on your recent nuptials and thank you for the fantastic time that day! And Tiara, I loooooved the fact that you still speak Malay with a Sabahan slang despite having lived in Sydney for more than 10 years! Berabis kita nanti. Hahaha! Am absolutely looking forward to seeing you two again for your wedding reception back in Kota Kinabalu come January! Yay! Less than 3 months away :D Get ready for more cheese then! Hugs
