Couples Sessions
For devoted lovers
Beautiful reminder of
the love we share
for each-other
Lets Talk
I genuinely believe that having a portrait session is one of the best things you can do. Whether you call it an engagement shoot or a photo session, it’s an opportunity to capture your love in a way that reflects your style and personalities. Let me know which location resonates most with you – a place that feels like ‘you’ and where you can imagine these photos proudly displayed on your wall.
Over the years, I’ve noticed that many of my couples choose to print these portraits rather than their wedding photos, and it makes perfect sense. These images often capture the essence of your everyday life and the love you share in its most natural form.
I’m also open to exploring any other options or locations you might have in mind. I’ve done a variety of sessions in unique settings, from cozy moments like drinking coffee by a campfire to candid shots in your kitchen, or even creative ideas like shower photos or artistic gatherings with friends. I can’t wait to hear your ideas and plan this fun-filled portrait session together
Couples + Engagements
Your engagement session is the perfect way to capture the start of your journey and shake off any nerves before the big day. It’s like a fun warm-up, helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera while we explore a new spot or one of your favorite places. You’ll see how amazing you look and have a great time while doing it!
Let’s get creative! These sessions are a blast, and I love personalising them around your favorite activities. It’s just you, your partner, and me capturing natural, fun moments.
Oh, and I also offer family and maternity portraits! Each session comes with unlimited photos, locations, outfits, and a downloadable gallery with print options. Let’s create something special!

Locations
The location you choose for your couples photoshoot is just as important as the photos themselves, as it helps to showcase your unique personalities and story in a way that truly captures who you are as a couple.
Here’s why it matters:
• Personal Connection: Choosing a location with personal significance, like where you had your first date or got engaged, adds sentimental value to your photos, making them a true reflection of your relationship.
• Style and Taste: The setting sets the tone and atmosphere for your photoshoot. By picking a place that mirrors your individual style and taste, you elevate the photos and add a personal touch.
• Background: The background plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetic. Selecting a location that aligns with your interests and personalities makes the photos even more special and unique.
• Lighting: The time of day and lighting conditions at the location can greatly influence the mood and tone of the photos. Choosing a spot with beautiful natural light or a unique ambiance ensures your photos are both stunning and memorable.
By carefully selecting a location that resonates with who you are as a couple, the resulting photos will be not only visually striking but also deeply personal and meaningful. Let’s work together to find the perfect spot for your photoshoot
UNCLOTHED STORIES
I'm passionate about capturing the essence of authenticity and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere where couples can truly be themselves. My fine art portrait photography sessions are a celebration of love and individuality, where couples have the chance to create timeless, meaningful memories. Whether in the studio with beautifully crafted lighting or in the great outdoors, utilizing the beauty of natural light, I'll be there every step of the way to guide and support you. The sessions are an hour of pure fun and joy, where couples can let go and just be themselves. Whether it's a special project, a gift for each other, or a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, the end result is always the same - a sense of empowerment, confidence, and love for one another. Come, let's create something truly beautiful and unforgettable.
I uphold the privacy of all couples and do not distribute completely naked photographs.
In home Sessions
When it comes to capturing memories, there's no place like home. That's why I believe doing a photoshoot in the comfort of your own home can be truly special. Your home is where you feel relaxed and at ease, and those natural emotions show through in the photos.
The photos will capture the intimacy and familiarity of your relationship in a way that's unique to you, and incorporating your home into the photoshoot can add a personal touch to the photos and showcase who you are as a couple. By doing the photoshoot in your own home, you eliminate the stress of traveling to a different location and can stay in your comfort zone, allowing us to capture you both in a relaxed and natural state.
Your home holds a special place in your heart and is filled with memories, making it the perfect setting to capture new memories and moments to cherish for years to come. By doing a photoshoot in your own home, you'll get photos that are personal, intimate, and truly reflective of who you are as a couple. Let's create some beautiful memories together in the comfort of your home.
Start time 2-3 hours before sunset.
Some times even mornings work great.
Beach Sessions
Taking photos during sunset on the beach is simply beautiful. The combination of the warm sun and the cool ocean creates a peaceful atmosphere that's perfect for capturing intimate moments. The soft light from the sun adds a romantic glow to the photos and makes for a stunning background. Whether you're snuggling up together or having fun in the waves, you'll create memories that will last a lifetime. It's a wonderful experience that will allow you to relax and enjoy each other's company while capturing those special moments.
Start time 40 mins before sunset.
Emu Mountain
Capturing couples' memories on Emu Mountain is a relaxed and enjoyable experience. The walk up is easy, making it accessible for all fitness levels, and the views from the top are breathtaking. Emu Mountain provides the perfect backdrop for the couple's photos, offering a scenic and unique setting. It's a chance for the couple to have a fun and adventurous experience and create lasting memories. The easy walk up the mountain makes it a stress-free and enjoyable experience, and I'm honored to capture these special moments in such a beautiful and relaxed setting.
Starting time 40 mins before sunset.
Forest
Getting photos in a forest is a peaceful and serene experience. The lush green surroundings provide a natural and beautiful backdrop for the couple's photos. It offers a unique setting, different from park photos. The tranquility of a forest provides a peaceful escape from the busy city life, making it a perfect opportunity to connect with each other and nature. It's a chance to create lasting memories in a calming and serene environment, and I'm always honored to be a part of capturing these special moments.
Starting time 40 mins before sunset.
Carparks
Getting a couple portrait session in a car park can be a unique and creative way to capture your love and connection. A car park offers a modern and urban setting that provides a sleek and stylish backdrop for your photos. With its concrete surfaces, interesting lines and shapes, and urban environment, a car park can add an edgy and contemporary vibe to your portraits. Additionally, a car park provides ample opportunities to be creative with your poses, lighting, and angles, making it a versatile location for your portrait session. Whether you're looking for images with an urban edge or simply want to create a memorable and one-of-a-kind photo experience, a car park provides an unexpected and interesting backdrop for your couple portrait session.
Kind Words
"Liam and I had so much fun at our engagement shoot with Luke that we were saying on the drive home that even if he completely forgot to send our photos through the experience alone was absolutely worth it. Then we received the photos and WOW they are so incredible and completely exceeded our expectations. It’s no surprise that Luke is the best photographer in the business. He managed to capture our fun, playful candid moments and make us feel so at ease In front of the camera - I kind of forgot he was even there (except if that were the case Liam would be carrying me a lot less) I am so happy we have these photos to cherish for the rest of our lives, can’t recommend Luke enough". - Marissa
Prints
Having your photos printed and displayed in your home has several benefits:
- Memories: Printed photos serve as a physical reminder of special moments in your life, preserving the memories for years to come.
- Decoration: Printed photos can serve as a decorative element in your home, adding personal touch to your living space.
- Legacy: Printed photos can be passed down to future generations, providing a tangible connection to your family history.
- Emotion: Seeing a beautiful printed image hanging on your wall can evoke emotions and bring back cherished memories every time you look at it.
Printing and displaying your photos from your couple session will bring joy, happiness, and a lasting connection to the memories captured in those moments.
Dressing up in a certain style or theme can add a sense of fantasy and whimsy to a portrait photo shoot, making the photos more interesting and visually appealing. It's important to go all out, don't hold back, and be creative with your outfit choices. It can also help to tell a story or convey a certain mood or theme in the photos. Additionally, it can serve as a form of self-expression, allowing the subject to showcase their personality and creativity. This can make the subject more comfortable and confident during the shoot, leading to more natural and expressive poses. What you wear is even more important than the location. Feel free to send me images of the clothes you both will be wearing for my feedback if you wish. The outfit you pick to wear will make or break the shoot, trust me on this. Overall, incorporating a certain style or theme into a portrait photo shoot can add a unique and dynamic element to the final images.

Families & Maternity
Just so you know, I regularly photograph maternity and family sessions, often on a weekly basis. While I don’t showcase them much on my wedding page, they’re a significant part of what I do. These sessions are particularly special to me, as I often capture these moments for my past wedding couples who are now starting or growing their families. It’s something I genuinely love doing, and I’m excited to photograph this journey with you.
The pricing is the same as my portrait sessions: $880 for 45 minutes, $990 for one hour, and $1500 for two hours. Let me know which location you’d like to choose.
