Getting To Know... Amy Oliver Photography
What’s your favourite part of your job?
I absolutely love hearing how my couples met and fell in love! *sigh* Oh and some of the moments I get to be apart of are pretty amazing! Like when there is no one at the house when the bride is getting ready because her Mum is still at the hairdressers getting her hair done and she needs help doing up the back of her dress? What a privilege it is to be apart of those precious moments!
What are you reading at the moment?
Blue like Jazz by Donald Miller and Real Living Magazine! (I’m a bit addicted to Real Living Mag)
What are you lusting after at the moment?
Oh that’s easy. A Nancybird bag. My other handbag has officially died and I am very distracted by this Nancybird bag right now.
Top three songs on your play list?
Animal Tracks by Mountain Man
January Wedding by Avett Brothers
Up on a Mountain by Welcome Wagon
What is your favourite moment during a wedding?
I really love it when the bride has just put on her dress at home and then her father comes into the room and sees her for the first time. I have to hold back the tears! It’s such a beautiful moment.
Who inspires you?
Oh so many people! Anyone who is kind and creative!
Photographer- Jose Villa
Teenage Photographer Nirrimi Hakanson
Singer/Songwriter Brooke Fraser
Stylist- Ashley Meaders
People giving back!
Is it really corny to say my husband Nathan? He totally inspires me in the way he always seeks to make fun in everything we do, even if it’s just going to the supermarket to get milk he has to make it fun!
Favourite Cocktail?
I’d totally prefer a glass of Red or Moscato!
What does it take to impress you?
Selflessness. People who put others before themselves and if I was being less serious then anyone who can sing and play guitar. That’s how my husband wooed me. lol.
What is the best piece of advice you were ever given?
Be the person your dog thinks you are. It just makes sense.
Favourite way to spend a Sunday?
Sleep in. Church. Latte on the way home. DVD on the couch with hubby and our puppy ‘Bear.’ Afternoon nanna nap. Friends over for dinner.
Black Tie or Casual?
Definitely casual! I’d wear leggings and thongs everyday if I could!
Your suggestion for a new name for ‘Hens' Party’
Chicken party? I don’t know!
Your favourite hostess gift to give?
Left-overs! Lol. Don’t people love left over food? That or flowers.
What’s the best gift you have ever received?
Nath bought me a vintage piano one year!
Three words that describe you best.
Creative. Tea-Drinker. Dreamer.

Engagement Session: Felicty & Richard by Amy Oliver Photography
We were very excited when Portobello Bride Member Amy Oliver emailed us with these gorgeous images from an Engagement Session she photographed recently! We love seeing new work from our Members, and it makes us extra excited when we see such great engagement photography coming from Australian Photographers! Love Shoot, eSessions, Engagement Sessions, or whatever you like to call them have been a huge trend overseas, which seems to be only growing in popularity and it is wonderful to see Australian Photographers not only taking on the challenge, but creating such beautiful images for the couple to treasure always!
This session with Felicity and Richard epitomises Summer! Strawberries, sundresses, picnics and lazing around bring a sense of nostalgia and of being carefree to these photos! So beautiful!

Richard lives in Wales and Felicity lives in Melbourne. The couple are parted by an ocean most of the time. When Richard arrived in Australia for a visit in December 2010 the couple seized the opportunity to have some special moments together captured. Hopefully these stunning images help close the distance and ease the waiting until they will be together and marry later this year!
