It’s not too often that the best time for an engagement photo-shoot is at 10am on a Monday morning, but it’s certainly more fun than sitting at a desk and wishing the weekend wasn’t over.

I’m not that familiar with the eastern shore of Lake Macquarie, so we wound up at Balcolyn at a lovely little park on the point, with water on three sides. These guys totally relaxed and had a good time, and I hope you enjoy their photos.
