Proof That There is a Way Out of the Dreaded Friend Zone

These friends turned fiances are the living proof that getting out of the friend zone is completely possible. They teamed up with We Are Origami to frolic through the hills of The Southern Highlands and capture that special time before “I Do”. It’s an engagement that’s both whimsical and ethereal and the light? Pure magic. See the full shoot with some seriously stylish outfit changes right here in the vault.

From the photographer… The setting for Kim and Justin’s engagement shoot was romantic, whimsical and simple. There was an ethereal pink hue over the day, and gorgeous light on the grounds of Milton Park and the the surrounding fields. Brides will draw inspiration from the romantic scenes which depict the iconic Southern Highlands in a completely unique way to reflect Kim and Justin’s gentle relationship. Kim mentioned, “for as long as we’ve dated, it’s been a really enjoyable easy relationship. Even if there’s conflict, we fight very fairly and resolve things with ease, understanding, patience and compromise.” The heartbeat behind their relationship is ‘falling in love and growing together forever.’ We couldn’t think of a better description! He loved her at first glance… And she loved him two and a half years later! “Justin always had his eye on me, and was interested from the beginning (so he claims), but I didn’t quite feel the same until 2. 5 years later.” No wonder they describe their relationship as patient, perseverant and understanding. It wasn’t until they bonded over pursuing photography by shooting together at Milson’s point in Sydney, when the ‘friendzone’ walls were conquered! It was fitting that they found an absolutely gorgeous location for their engagement photos, valuing photography and treasuring these moments we shared together.
