Hi there, Nongi here from Darwin Photography & Makeup Arist, local photographer in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.
​
I didn't get a chance to create a blog much but this time I would like to do it just for one of my good memories, I meet Rosharn and Matt first time on their first child maternity photo session.  In mid october Rosharn contacted me to book in for family photoshoot from our Christmas special 2019 as now her baby girl "Fayra" is 6 months old, oh god she is adorable little live doll. 

We have the date set on 30th November and we plan for beach shoot. On 16th November, Matt sent me a massage through my FB's page and expressed his intention that he would like to have a surprise proposal to her.... YASSSS why not? Then our secret mission has begun !!!! 

Matt have invited both side of their family to be the witnesses. So we have a meeting with their family just 30 minutes before the photoshoot for briefing, they come with the esky with a nice cold drinks, I showed them the bush area where they should be hiding and they are not allow to show up until the minute that Matt on his kneels and they did it all just perfectly (but Matt and also me hearing them cracking a can of beer, cerebrate ahead lol), thank you for your collaboration guys ! I also told Matt that he was not allow to come early, to make sure all families have gone and hiding elsewhere before Matt, Rosharn and Fayra arrive on their photoshoot. 
As Matt get told to be late, you guys need to see Rosharn face when she meets me at the meeting point, she apologised with her guilty face for being late. I found it quite adorable, I looked at Matt face which having a big grin right next to her, well done Matt for taking the longest shower you could to make her late lol

We already talking about what we were going to do over the phone with Matt and that moment has arrived. I got them on the spot that I need to take a photo, I pretended like we doing family shots just normal, then I ask Matt to put Fayra nearby cause we need her in part of some photos, I asked Rosharn to walkaway for 4 steps and turnaround by swing her hair in the air for fun, she followed everything, while she practicing swing her hair I waving to the family who watching us behind the bush. Now that moment has arrived, Roshard walked 4 steps and swing her hair and turned around, She told us after that she stunted because she turnaround and don't see Matt there but only a second after she noticed that Matt was on the sand and KNEELS DOWN and see everyone walked out from the bush. Lets the picture tell its story.

      After your booking, we will go through ideas of the shoot and your requirements and then find suitable locations. I'm also offering a makeup and hair styling service if you want that extra touch and because I shoot under natural lighting i like the softer evening sun for its effect. I also offer prints in a variet of forms from classic photographs to framed and styled canvas or metal prints up to 40' inches if you need some real impact. 
      On the day, your only requirment is maybe to bring a bottle of water, relax and enjoy the moment.

When Ben has arrived to the hotel room, where the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready. Emily has already hiding herself behind the brick wall, then it's time for Ben to come in. 

They were so close and only the brick wall between them. That was so exciting moment for everyone, especially our bride and groom, of course !!!!  They were allowed to hold their hand and feel the love across the brick wall of love. Now let my images explain their wedding day stories !!!!
