Danii & Dan

Danii and Dan chose a coastal setting for their sunset engagement photos. They wanted a relaxed, intimate feeling that would capture the love they have for each other. Matt Godkin Photography met with the couple to capture their newly engaged glow.

Of how they met, Danii tells, “We met at our youth group! Dan came to church one day and I (Danii) convinced him to come to youth that week!”

Dan tells the story of how he proposed. “I (Dan) planned to take Danii to Bundeena national park in the morning to go for a walk/propose. But when I called her about it, she thought our walk was meant to be on a different day, so she had her mind set to clean her room that day. So I had to go back to the drawing board and as she already had dinner plans, I decided to pick her up after dinner and take her to the Coogee board walk. We went for a bit of a stroll and we mucked around on that rainy day, and when we finally sat down, I proposed to her (on one knee of course) and thankfully she said yes!”

On what he loves about Danii, Dan says, “Apart from being gorgeous, I love that whenever I’m feeling down or going off track, she makes me smile, feel good about myself and always gets me back on track and challenges me to be more positive.”

On what she loves about Dan, Danii tells, “I love how humble he is, I love that he goes above and beyond for the people he loves. He gets excited over little things, and he has such a joyous laugh. He has the worst jokes, but I have to laugh because they are funny (sometimes)!”

Of their engagement photos, Danii & Dan tell, “We really liked the candid and relaxed style that Matt has. We didn’t want to have a total model shoot and have to be in awkward positions, we just wanted it to be natural. Matt made us feel really comfortable during the shoot, so we could be cute and close and it turned out to be quite intimate.”
