Some people you meet, you hang out and you just know they’re going to be your friends. Julia and Nik were exactly those kinda people! The night before the couple shoot they invited us for dinner, to chat and meet each other.
We chatted about the shoot and I asked them what kind of photos they were looking for. They just said relaxed and fun. Then I asked them what kind of things they love to do. What do they like. What makes them, “them”? For me that is one of the most important things when I do a couple shoot. It needs to be “them”! At first Nik was very concerned…”What do we like??” he asked, but then he got really excited and said “strawberries! She loves buying strawberries at the market.” So that’s exactly what we did, we bought some strawberries at the market and incorporated it into their shoot :)
And for me it was perfect, it gave the shoot a very European feel and I love it!!
For Photographers: You’ll see I edited some of these photos (and others from Germany) in a old school Polaroid kinda look…I’m currently working on a Polaroid combo Presets for LR, so keep an eye out for the launch of KIKI, where we will have a whole photography resource section. Exciting stuff coming…it’s just taking a bit longer than I hoped for :) But coming, that’s for sure!!
Gorgeous couple! Love the ‘spring’ photos :) so fun!

Hi C, those spring shots would just provide me with endless possibilites, I think you would have had to drag me away from that area. Polaroid look is cool. my LR has these presets on them. I see from the whois Iaan has owned kiki for a while, looking forward to it, sure it will rock.
