Corinna and Peter – Carlton Gardens

On a recent visit to Melbourne from Sydney, Corinna and Peter invited me the Royal Exhibition Building for a little engagement session. A gorgeous Sunday afternoon spent exploring the garden’s of Melbourne’s beautiful Exhibition building and one of Melbourne’s greatest museums — how could I say no?

Corinna and Peter are getting married in Melbourne — Peter’s hometown — in December, so this was a perfect chance to get to know them before their big day. Though Peter’s family lives in Melbourne, Corinna is from Germany, and she can’t wait for her family to arrive for their wedding. They’ve rented a house on the coast to enjoy with their international guests.

We shared a laugh when Peter’s inner school teacher came out — he started the shoot posing as if for a yearbook photo. Corinna looked stunning in a bold print dress that she’d bought at the Exhibition Building’s Finders Keepers Market just the day before.
