Introducing the newlywed Mr. & Mrs. Olive! Knowing Kate as far back as primary school, it was a privilege to capture her marriage to Alex. They left no detail unthought of - including a painter for their ceremony, carriage rides for their guests throughout the afternoon and the sweetest little outfit for one of their pups, Isabella. I have so many beautiful moments to share from this celebration, so make sure to scroll to the end! "Maddy was absolutely fantastic to work with! She made the process so easy and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The final photos were absolutely stunning. We will definitely be back!" - Mr. & Mrs. Olive Vendors: The Barn at The Mountain , Shannon Hawkes Artisan Florals , Revenge Hair & Body , Nicky Svensen, Cake Design , Man the Bar , Elizabeth Kate Fine Artworks , Creative Cater , Gladstone Bridal Boutique , Ceremonies by Serena , Capricorn Carriages .

On a recent trip to Brisbane, all the pieces fell into place and I stopped in to capture some images for @celesteceval 's salon and her son James' formal with Christine. Complete with incredible ocean views and a vintage Mustang, it was an honour to capture these! I'll share more of Celeste's branding images soon as well, but here are some words from her in the meantime: "Thank you so much 💕 You just have a way of making people feel comfortable. I always feel awkward with photos... but somehow you made all the insecurities disappear. Thank you so very much! You are very good at what you do!!! I really am so glad you were able to do our photos!!!"

When Jess & Ray asked me to capture their wedding, I was thrilled - but especially so knowing I would get to adventure down to @tamborinemountainglades  (previously Cedar Creek Lodges) in the Gold Coast Hinterland with them! What a fun, intimate celebration with their loved ones in an incredible rainforest setting.  Lots more to come from Jessica's ceremony, and Raymond's reception (iykyk).

They met at Perisher, got engaged while heliboarding in New Zealand and now married on a tropical island. Tess, a firefighter, and Tristen, a paramedic, managed to craft a wedding celebration that was such a perfect reflection of who they are as a couple. It was a laid back celebration with 40 of their nearest & dearest - and their two beautiful pups as flower girls, of course (but from what we saw they were most excited to go for a swim). In a break of tradition, Tris & Tess crafted a new surname from the letters of each of their last names (and I love this idea!!). So - congratulations to The Dreimers!

It was an honour to stop in to Celeste Ceval Hair Stylist 's salon recently on a trip to Brisbane. The brief was to capture some fresh branding and studio images for her, conveying the relaxed feel of the space and her waste free, organic approach. What do you think? Does it look inviting? Here are some words from her in the meantime: "Thank you so much 💕 You just have a way of making people feel comfortable. I always feel awkward with photos... but somehow you made all the insecurities disappear. Thank you so very much! You are very good at what you do!!! I really am so glad you were able to do our photos!!!"

It's my fourth year capturing the Filby family, but this time they brought their pups along too! Always a joy catching up with them for some updated photos. 🐾😍

Introducing the newest Hoddas! The day was complete with 'Aunty Rox' marrying them, ceremony bubble exit, choreographed first dance with sparklers and their puppies as the cake toppers. And that doesn't even touch on the not one, but two amazing outfits Tace wore as well as Tristian's well thought out attire (not all of it shown here). Congratulations Tace & Tristian, what a fun and emotional day spent celebrating you both!

How lucky am I to have such beautiful clients like The Buchanans that I can also call friends! "Maddy is such an amazing photographer! She has shot our engagement, wedding, maternity shoots and two family photoshoots since 2019. She is able to really capture the vibrancy of the photo background and work with her clients (adults, kids and pets!) to get such beautiful, natural photos. Her candid photos are my personal favourites. 100 percent best photographer on Central Queensland you won’t regret it! Maddy is so down to earth and kind and will make people who aren’t keen on getting photos taken comfortable the whole time. She’s also so open minded to photo ideas and is always keen for an adventure! Below is a fave photo from our recent shoot being able to get an amazing picture with a Toddler, baby and an excitable Labrador!"

OK - get ready to have your heartstrings pulled, it's the Thompson family! I was honoured to capture their wedding a few years ago and now be asked back to capture this new chapter in their lives. Having booked a lifestyle session, we were able to take these in Shannon & Aaron's beautiful home - using their living spaces and Winnie the Pooh themed nursery which was oh so perfect for little Parker. ✨🍯

My last wedding to finish up the 2023 season and it was a cracker, congratulations Annie and Kyrle! An intimate wedding complete with a first 'moment', ring warming ceremony and a sensational summer sunset.

Have you just found out your formal date? Yep, I've been inundated! Unfortunately I only book a small amount of sessions per date in order to provide the standard of service I strive to achieve for my clients. BUT - if you missed out, I do have the option of booking a pre-graduation session. Why is it such a great idea? Avoid the crowds of formal day (it's chaotic, trust me) Coordinate your hair/makeup trial Have a practice run in your outfit (do I hear sore feet?) Ease the strict timeline of the afternoon Get your photos taken wherever and whenever you like! Contact me if you'd like more details. This whole session was a dream to capture for gorgeous Taya (and we got the whole CBD to ourselves too), how good do those colours and styling look on her? 😍
