Love in Pastel Hues - A Romantic King Edward Park Garden & Waterfront Shoot
March 25th, 2025
I recently had the pleasure of capturing a truly enchanting couple's shoot at the picturesque King Edward Park in Newcastle. As a wedding photographer, there is nothing better than when the setting is nothing short of magical... the lush greenery of the gardens and the serene expanse of the nearby water providing the perfect backdrop for a love story unfolding. A great way to spend a peaceful Saturday afternoon!
There is nothing like genuine joy and love between a couple!
Our beautiful couple, Dylan and Sam, radiated joy and affection their smiles as bright as the setting sun. Sam looked absolutely stunning in a delicate pastel pink dress its soft hue perfectly complementing the dreamy pastel shades painted across the evening sky. It was as if the clouds themselves were celebrating their love mirroring the gentle tones of her attire.

The shoot began amidst the verdant beauty by King Edward Park's gardens with a staircase where the couple were framed amongst the greenery. The natural setting provided a sense of intimacy and romance allowing their genuine connection to shine. The gardens being full of people, we decided to go down towards the water..
A nice little candid moment between poses
As the sun began its descent we ventured towards the waterfront where the vastness of the ocean mirrored the depth of their love. The pastel sky a canvas of soft pinks blues and oranges created a breathtaking backdrop enhancing the romantic atmosphere.
Sam's dress understood the assignment
Every frame captured the essence of their relationship playful tender and deeply connected. Sam's delicate bouquet of pink flowers added a touch of whimsy echoing the sweetness of their bond.
This shoot was a reminder of the power of love and the beauty of capturing fleeting moments in time. The soft pastel palette both in the bride's dress and the surrounding environment created a cohesive and dreamy aesthetic making each photograph a work of art.
