When Brent and Lauren told me they hadn't officially booked a photographer for their engagement photos, I jumped at the opportunity to photograph them to created some special memories. Then Lauren suggested we take photos at Nova Coffee House in Marda Loop, and I'm so happy we did. They turned out even better than I had expected. Thank you Natalie for lending us the space for this project!
If you haven't checked Nova Coffee House, you're missing out! The large mural on the back wall is breathtaking, and artisan coffee, sandwiches, toasties and salads are definitely worth raving about. But I'll be honest, when I first discovered the Nova brand, it wasn't for the food or coffee, but rather because I attended a yoga class at Yoga Nova, which is located at the back of the coffee house. Nova Yoga features the Barron Baptist method of practising yoga, and offers a variety of Yin and Yang practises to encourage and foster the connection between mind and body that lives in all yogis. Whether you're a beginner, or seasoned practitioner, Nova Yoga has something for everyone. Being a " type A" personality and a perfectionist myself, my favourite class is the Crucible, taught by the owner Natalie. Yup, you guessed it, it's not an easy class but the energy in this practice is authentic and the challenge won't disappoint. So go get your downward dog-on, then head over to the coffee shop for a snack, you won't regret it.
