BRISBANE & SUNSHINE COAST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER Wedding Photography Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, South East QLD and Northern NSW

A little bit of magic, a whole lot of q***r joy, and two people who make the ordinary feel extraordinary. 🖤

Somewhere between Middle-earth and a car park rooftop in Fortitude Valley, Rebekah and Nick found their own little pocket of magic. Just the two of them, stolen glances, little touches, quiet giggles, and those in-between moments that somehow end up meaning everything.

Their Lord of the Rings-inspired wedding was full of enchantment, but honestly? The magic was never just in the theme. It was in the way they looked at each other. The way they laughed together. The way they just were together.

And if there’s one thing I love about photographing q***r love, it’s getting to capture love that feels entirely, unapologetically theirs. No rules to follow, no boxes to fit into. Just their story, their way. 🌈✨

Also, we may have been asked by security why we were on a car park rooftop in Fortitude Valley. 😂

Apparently, even photographers on a quest need to explain themselves sometimes. 🧙‍♂️💍

A little teaser from sneak peek of Saturday’s wedding of Cass and Taylor! Congratulations friends what a day!

Huge thanks to Mooke for catching this tiny bts for me before hitching up the drone! That’s right, we snuck in the drone for these two legends!

Some weddings are built around traditions.

Some are built around expectations.

And then there are weddings like Josie and Liam’s — built entirely around the people and moments that matter most 🤍

When we first spoke about their plans, one thing became clear very quickly: they weren’t interested in creating a big production. They wanted a day that felt like them.

Their favourite humans gathered beneath the trees at Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens for a beautiful Brisbane micro wedding, where every guest had played a meaningful role in their story.

The result was an intimate Brisbane wedding that felt deeply personal, intentional and full of heart.

No elaborate styling. No grand ballroom. No pressure to perform.

Just two wonderful humans, a handful of their favourite people, and a whole lot of love.
A beautiful reminder that the most meaningful weddings aren’t measured by guest numbers, but by connection 🤍

If you’re dreaming of a Brisbane micro wedding, intimate wedding or elopement that prioritises connection over convention, let Josie and Liam’s day be your reminder that you don’t need a huge guest list to create something unforgettable. Sometimes all you need is your favourite person, your closest people and a place that feels like home 🤍

The photographer turning “we’re awkward in photos” into THIS 🤍

I think almost every couple says this to me before their wedding 😅

After 20+ years photographing weddings in Brisbane, I’ve learnt that nobody actually needs to know how to pose perfectly.

You just need to feel comfortable enough to be yourselves.

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? 👀

Wait for the ending ⛈️⚡️

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.
