Australian Engagement Photography

Adam Cavanagh | Australian Engagement Photographer

Hi there and thanks for stopping by and visiting. My name is Adam Cavanagh and I am a professional Australian Wedding & Engagement Photographer based in NSW.

Your engagement is one of the most exciting chapters in your love story—a moment filled with joy, connection, and anticipation for your future together. Capturing this milestone through Australian engagement photography ensures these memories are preserved forever in stunning, authentic images.

I’m passionate about creating photographs that feel like you. My approach is all about capturing the genuine connection between you and your partner—those candid laughs, stolen glances, and quiet moments that truly reflect your unique story. Every couple photoshoot is tailored to your personality, style, and vision, making the experience as meaningful as the final images themselves.

Let’s turn your engagement into a collection of timeless memories that you’ll treasure forever. I love taking epic images that include the landscape and scenery but more importantly, taking meaningful photos that reflect you, your relationship and your personality.

Authentic Australian Engagement Photography, Tailored to You

Your engagement is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone, and your photos should feel just as special. My photography style is all about creating an experience that feels natural, relaxed, and uniquely you. From heartfelt laughter to quiet moments of connection, I focus on capturing the essence of your love story in every shot.

Natural Moments

There’s beauty in the unscripted. I work to create a space where you and your partner can simply be yourselves. Whether it’s a shared laugh, a stolen glance, or a quiet embrace, I capture those moments that feel most authentic—because that’s where the magic happens.

Personalised Experience

No two couples are the same, and your engagement photos shouldn’t be either. Together, we’ll plan a session that reflects who you are, from wardrobe choices to location and vibe. Whether you’re playful and fun or dreamy and romantic, your couple photoshoot will be tailored to your unique story.

Iconic Locations

The right location sets the stage for your engagement photos, and it’s all about choosing a place that feels meaningful to you. Whether it’s somewhere that reflects your personalities, a spot where your love story began, or simply a setting that makes you feel connected and comfortable, your chosen backdrop should be as unique as your relationship.

From romantic natural landscapes to vibrant urban spaces, or even the cosy intimacy of a place that holds sentimental value, the location will be tailored to your story. Together, we’ll find the perfect setting to bring your vision to life and create timeless, authentic photos.

Engagement Couple Photo Information

I absolutely recommend that every couple that is engaged should have an engagement couple session together. Let’s face it… most people won’t have had a professional photo shoot before. And the idea of a professional photographer taking your photo can be an uncomfortable thought and for some people, the idea can fill them with total anxiety. Especially if you think you always look awkward in photos.

You are not alone. Most of my couples have never had a professional shoot before and most are a little nervous. I see it as my job to make sure you have a really fun and amazing experience at your engagement shoot. Because that is how to get natural, fun and creative images of the two of you. Not stiff poses or awkward expressions. Just beautiful and natural images that will spark joy.

Here are some reasons why engagement photography is an awesome idea:

• Meet and get to know your photographer.
• Get used to having your photo taken and see what photoshoot is like. This will get rid of any nerves about having your photo taken and will give you one less thing to worry about on your big day.
• You get photos of the two of you in casual clothes that you can display around your home.
• Your engagement is a major time in your life and all milestones in your life should be captured.
• There is no stress or time pressure, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Planning your engagement photoshoot should feel exciting and stress-free, so here are answers to some of the most common questions couples have. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, feel free to reach out—I’m here to help!

What should we wear for the session?

Your outfits should reflect your personality and make you feel confident and comfortable. Neutral tones, soft textures, and minimal patterns tend to photograph beautifully, but most importantly, wear something that feels you. I can also provide styling tips to help you coordinate your look.

Can we choose the location?

Absolutely! This is your story, and the location should hold meaning for you. Whether it’s a favourite spot, somewhere sentimental, or a setting that reflects your style, we’ll work together to find the perfect place to capture your love. I can also give you a few options to help you decide.

When should we do the shoot?

The timing of your engagement session can make all the difference. Ideally, plan your shoot a few months before your wedding to give you plenty of time to use the photos for save-the-dates or other pre-wedding needs. It is also a good idea to time your hair & makeup trial with your shoot.

What time should we do the shoot?

The best time for your engagement session is towards sunset, during “golden hour,”. The soft, warm light during these times creates a beautiful, flattering glow. So I would recommend that you start your session 90mins before sunset so that you are in the best light possible.

How long until we get the engagement photos?

I know you’ll be excited to see your images, so I work hard to deliver them as quickly as possible! Typically, you can expect your fully edited gallery of your session within 2 weeks. But we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
