I first met Delon & Cory while working at the local bar, The Brooks Hotel, back in 2012. Working long shifts & lots of hours together we all quickly bonded as did the other new girls who started at the same time as me. We became that tight knit family you normally find at server style jobs.

Even though I was taking photos back then I did not take it as serioulsy as i do now. I am very thankful they remembered me & my passion for photography when their eldest graduated. When we were chatting about locations they let me know they would be bringing their classic cars with them which is always an welcome addition to photos.

I will say this in almost every blog post from 2025 but we had a massive storm moving in with a little wind & off & on rain. We managed to get wrapped up moments before the downpour started which was beyond lucky. We also added in some family photos & even had the family dog; better known as "dads favourite child" join us for some photos.
