Simone & Dan | The Paddock Yeppoon, Central Queensland Garden Wedding
Simone & Dan - together for 11 years and with 2 beautiful little boys, but these two had wedding day jitters like they were newly dating. Not to mention the fireworks, the flower nans, and the two beautiful families that came to celebrate them. P.S. Did I mention those dress sleeves?!

Em & Tom | Country Engagement Session, Alpha Central Queensland
A recent trip west took me to Alpha, Queensland for Emily and Tom’s country engagement session. Emily mentioned that they're not photogenic, and well - I like to think I proved them wrong!
