Jess & Ryan – School Formal Session

Jess and Ryan’s formal session was held at the always-beautiful Gunabul Homestead, and it was such a great one to be part of. This was a joint session with both of their families, which made it feel like a true celebration from start to finish.

Jess looked absolutely incredible in a bold, form-fitting red gown with a plunging V-neckline that perfectly suited her confident style. She paired it with a long diamond necklace, spiral silver earrings, and a bold red lip that matched her dress to a tee. Her long, wavy hair was worn down, and her nails were completely covered in sparkling silver glitter - like little disco balls, in the best way.

Ryan complemented Jess’s look perfectly in a sleek black suit and red tie, echoing her striking red gown. The two of them looked like they stepped right off a red carpet.

And the car? A classic white Ford Cobra with bold blue racing stripes - iconic and just the right mix of sporty and statement.

It was such a fun, relaxed session with both families getting involved, which always adds something special. I loved capturing the quiet in-between moments just as much as the styled shots—the little looks, shared laughs, and that electric pre-formal excitement.
