It all happened on a golden April evening, the 19th to be precise, as the sun began its descent over our beautiful cityscape.

Our story unfolds near Fraser's Restaurant, where romance was in the air and love was about to take centre stage.


But first, let me set the scene for you.

Our groom-to-be enlisted the help of the brilliant team at "Picnics By Design" to create a dreamy setup that perfectly complemented the enchanting atmosphere of Kings Park. Imagine a patchwork of green grass, covered by several layers of beautiful boho-style rugs beneath your feet. On the picnic table, strawberries awaited inside an elegant glass dome to be used as the tools to scoop the delicious Nutella offered. To top it all off, a bucket full of ice and a bottle of champagne, ready to celebrate this love story in the making.

As the sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, our groom-to-be, Laudair, led his unsuspecting partner, Natalia, to the spot where their lives were about to change forever. Now, remember, this was all a surprise for Natalia, who had absolutely no idea what was about to unfold.


As they strolled along the park's pathways, taking in the breathtaking scenery, Natalia's eyes widened with delight as she stumbled upon the beautifully arranged picnic. The sheer joy and surprise on her face were priceless, and it was at that very moment that Laudair knew he had chosen the perfect setting for this significant milestone.

With my camera discreetly poised, I captured every precious second as Laudair dropped to one knee. It was as if time stood still, allowing the sounds of nature and the rustling leaves to whisper their congratulations. The magic of the moment was palpable.


And just like that, with a resounding "Yes!" and a heartfelt embrace, their journey as an engaged couple officially began.


I, as their dedicated stalker, ahem, engagement photographer... made sure to capture every detail of their beautiful story. The candid laughter, the stolen glances, and the unfiltered joy that surrounded them. These are the moments that remind me why I do what I do – to preserve memories of love and happiness for eternity.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the celebration continued. Glasses were raised, toasts were made, and promises of forever were sealed with heartfelt kisses. The lovebirds revelled in their newfound engagement, surrounded by the stunning views of our beautiful City of Perth.

To Laudair and Natalia, thank you for allowing me to join this unique moment in your lives. Your surprise engagement proposal at Kings Park was a true testament to the power of love, and I am grateful to have captured its essence through my lens.
