Beautiful Gardens and a Cool Pool on a Hot Day

We had the pleasure photographing Katie in early January this year – and congratulations to Katie and Mark on their recent engagement!  (And yes, we mean an entirely different Mark and Katie to your photographers here..!)

The gardens were stunning, even if the temperatures were scorching.  Luckily we had any number of shaded areas to shoot beneath, from towering weeping willows by the dam through to the vine covered framed walk-ways.  Other parts of the garden also came in handy, especially the band stand which overlooked the dam.

As temperatures rose we decided it was time to shoot in the pool.  Again with the sun beating down and no shade over the pool we did the best with our small scrim and to position Katie and setup the shot.  Considering the harsh sun and heat, we think we got some awesome shots, and Katie did marvelously!
