Hail.
Lightning.
Rain.

We could’ve packed up… but they stayed.
They laughed.
They kissed in a the rain while chaos raged around them. 💛

Some of the most magical moments happen when everything feels a little wild — and that’s exactly what a Brisbane engagement session can be!

For couples planning their Sunshine Coast or Brisbane wedding, or looking for a fun, intimate engagement shoot, sometimes the best memories happen when you embrace the chaos.

Would you stay or run for cover? 👀

This Summer on the Mountain event was such a beautiful reminder of how powerful thoughtful styling and creative collaboration can be.

From the textures in the florals to the way the tables were styled to complement the space, every detail worked together to create a setting that felt warm, intentional, and full of life.

These are the kinds of environments I love photographing — spaces designed for connection, conversation, and shared experience.

Such a joy capturing this one alongside some very talented creatives ✨

Sam & Mike 🤍

A micro wedding in Brisbane that proves small doesn’t mean simple — it means intentional.
Their day was the most beautiful intimate home gathering, filled with laughter, happy tears, and that unmistakable feeling of being completely surrounded by love. A front yard ceremony, their favourite people close by, and a space that truly felt like home.

By choosing a small home wedding, Sam & Mike were able to slow everything down. A first look meant more time with guests, one relaxed location kept the day flowing with ease, and personal touches (Mike’s Mazda, and Taco the very handsome dachshund 🐾) made the celebration unmistakably them.

This is the magic of micro weddings — less rushing, more connection, and a day that feels warm, real, and deeply personal.

Sam & Mike, thank you for trusting me with your story. This one will stay with me for a long time ✨

And also a huge thankyou to Ellen from for introducing me to such an incredible pair of humans!

Brisbane micro wedding magic ✨

James & Mackenzie’s day was the perfect reminder that intimate doesn’t mean small on feeling. With 58 guests in total, every moment felt intentional, relaxed, and full of love.

They said their vows at The Bethnal, Newstead, using the space for both their ceremony and reception, surrounded by family and close friends (and some very important group photos that their aunts and uncles will be talking about for years 🥹).

One of my favourite moments was Mackenzie’s first look with her dad before the ceremony — quiet, emotional, and so full of heart. And once the formalities were done? The party truly kicked off with wood-fired pizza, cold beers, and all the good vibes.

James and Mackenzie met through work and sealed the deal with a first date at Strike Bowling and Holey Moley — which feels very on brand for the fun, grounded energy they brought to their wedding day.

Huge love to the incredible team who helped bring it all together:
✨ Ceremony & reception venue: The Bethnal, Newstead
✨ Event coordinators: Lauren & Chelsea
✨ Celebrant: Venita (Vienna) Manning
✨ Entertainment: Red Seven Group Entertainment
✨ Florals: Jodie Rohrlach (Mackenzie’s cousin — how special is that!)

If you’re dreaming of a Brisbane micro wedding that feels relaxed, meaningful, and completely you, this is your sign 💛🍕✨

Some moments leave me quietly changed.

Zo and Natalia’s elopement wasn’t just about vows, it was about honouring each other in the most beautifully personal way. Their words to one another were so raw and special that I don’t think I could ever do them justice here — but what I witnessed was a version of togetherness I hadn’t quite seen before.

It was untraditional, unapologetic, and deeply intentional. A celebration that placed individuality and creativity right alongside love and commitment.

What a gift to be invited into this story.

✨ Micro weddings aren’t small… they’re just packed with all the good stuff (love, connection + meaning).

Ruby + Sadie’s Maleny elopement was everything a Sunshine Coast micro wedding should be—wholesome, heartfelt, and full of love. 🌿

First meeting in Berlin during the pandemic, bonding over chilly lockdown walks and deep conversations. Fast forward a few years, Ruby proposed on a trip back to Australia, and while they’ve already tied the knot overseas, this day was all about celebrating their love at home with their closest people.

The location couldn’t have been more perfect—Ruby grew up in the hinterland, and Sadie had always dreamed of visiting the Australian rainforest as a child. Little did she know her future wife was once running barefoot under that very same canopy. 💚

What made the day extra special? Their family + friends helped with the decorations and prep, creating such an authentic, down-to-earth vibe. Nothing over-styled, just love, laughter, and the kind of joy you can feel in every photograph.

Thinking of skipping the big wedding and planning something more meaningful? Slide into my DMs and let’s chat about your Sunshine Coast elopement. ✨

“A love story full of dancing, kisses, and pure magic! ✨💛”

Meg & Kaylee brought such beautiful energy to their session, and capturing their love was an absolute dream. When I read their kind words after delivering their gallery, my heart melted! 🥹💖

“👉 My partner and I had the most beautiful experience working with Terri, who was just a pleasure to be around! We felt so comfortable throughout our whole session (considering we had never had a shoot before!). Terri made us feel safe, comfortable and made it such a fun experience! We are absolutely obsessed with the final images that Terri created and loved seeing her vision come to life. We are so in awe of her work and are truely grateful to her for capturing our love just perfectly.

We would highly recommend Terri to anyone who’s looking for stunning images but also an amazing experience capturing them. We can’t wait to work with Terri again in the future. You’re the best, Terri! ✨🤗🫶🏼”

Seeing couples feel safe, joyful, and truly themselves in front of my camera is what it’s all about. If you and your love are looking for a photography experience that’s all fun, no stress, and totally you—let’s chat! 🫶🏼📸

💖 Date Night, but Make It a Photoshoot! 📸✨

Forget awkward prom poses—this is all about laughing ‘til your cheeks hurt and stealing kisses when you think I’m not looking (spoiler: I totally am 👀).

A couples shoot isn’t about perfection—it’s about your inside jokes, and the way you fit together like a jigsaw puzzle

🏙️ Fortitude Valley is the perfect playground for this—gritty backstreets, neon lights, hidden bars… and you two being effortlessly cool (or dorky, or romantic, or whatever your love language looks like).

So grab your love, your favourite jacket, and let’s make some magic—no stiff poses, just you, being you, together. ❤️

✨ The Magic of a Well-Timed Wedding Morning ✨

Brides, let’s talk about the getting ready portion of your wedding day! This is where the excitement builds, the glam happens, and some of the most beautiful, emotional moments unfold.

One of the biggest factors in making this part of your day smooth and stress-free? Being on time with hair and makeup!💄⏳

I’ve worked with some incredible makeup artists, but one that truly stands out is Valentina from on the Sunshine Coast. She has next-level time management skills, which means:

✔️ No rushing to get dressed
✔️ Plenty of time for those dreamy bridal portraits
✔️ A calm, relaxed vibe to soak in the moment

When everything runs on time, capturing all those special details—your dress, the final makeup touches, the joyful moments with your bridesmaids, is a breeze!

So if you’re planning your wedding, make sure to choose vendors who understand the timeline. Trust me, it makes all the difference!

And if you need help just shout out! ✨

✨ Ally & Matt – Childhood Besties to Mind-Reading Soulmates ✨

Okay, but imagine meeting your future fiancé in Grade 1 and having no idea you’d end up here?! That’s Ally & Matt’s love story, and honestly, we’re all just living in their rom-com. 🎬💘
Ally thought Matt was a lovely, respectful boy (aww), while Matt’s first impression? “Cute.” Classic. 😂 Fast forward to today, and these two are still the perfect mix of playful & romantic, pulling pranks, reading each other’s minds (seriously, they have a whole Black Magic thing going on 👀), and debating between adventuring out or Netflix + choccy. Spoiler: choccy usually wins. 🍫📺
If their love had a soundtrack, it’d be Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton, and honestly, their whole session had thatkind of energy—smooth, soulful, and full of all the good vibes. 🥃✨
Too many golden shots to choose from, so I just gave them everything (because choosing favorites is HARD, okay?!). Swipe to soak up the magic! 😍📸
