It might have been two years later than planned after Brooke & Dave's original date was wiped out by COVID, but they're finally Mr. & Mrs. Buchanan! This was such a gorgeous day celebrating a long-awaited marriage, and made even better with a cracker team of vendors working behind the scenes. Thank goodness I got through it with an ear infection and only hearing properly from one side, but it just goes to show I'm committed to be with you capturing your special day! Vendors: St Aubins Village, DejaVu Photo&Film, BBQ Infusion Smoke and Spice, Coco&Bleu, Grace Loves Lace, Pro Makeup Studio, Elite Mobile Hair & Beauty, Shannon Hawkes Artisan Florals, Cloud Nine Celebrancy Services, Sprinkle Me, Side Hustle, Cheap Talk, CQ Party Hire.

"Maddy is absolutely amazing! She captured the most precious moments at our wedding, I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a fun, bubbly photographer who makes you feel comfortable. The photos turned out better than I ever could have imagined! Absolute perfection!" Hayley & Sebastian left me this lovely review recently, and I'm so glad it encapsulates exactly what I aim to achieve as a wedding photographer. You can't create beautiful images unless you feel relaxed being photographed, so I put a lot of effort into making sure everyone enjoys themselves while coordinating your photography. Add in a calm day beside the ocean, dreamy pastel sunset, beautiful styling and the most relaxed, fun wedding party that combined to make Hayley & Sebastian's wedding a photographer's dream to capture!

What a day to get married on Heron Island! Having met through mutual friends in the wakeboarding scene, it seemed only fitting that Alexandra & Daniel celebrated their wedding by the water's edge. With 45 of their nearest and dearest watching on they said 'I do', then treated their guests to an afternoon cocktail before we wandered the island taking photos as the sun set. Planning a wedding between work, study and travel is no easy feat, but Alex & Dan did it flawlessly - thank you for the privilege of asking me along to capture your special day, congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Clark!

I recently caught up with Elize to give her branding images and headshots a refresh as she prepares to launch her newest business venture. Professional images are an important tool in establishing your brand identity, conveying a sense of professionalism and making your business stand out in a crowded market - all of which will help build trust with potential clients. With a good plan in place, your images can be used across a range of marketing materials - from social media and websites to business cards and brochures - helping to create a cohesive and consistent image that ultimately puts a face to your name!

After photographing their engagement and wedding, I also had the pleasure of capturing this dreamy maternity session in Byfield for Tasha & Jono! I'm not sure if 'forest goddess' is exactly what Tasha had in mind when she was planning her photos, but that's definitely how it turned out and I am LOVING it!

It's always so rewarding seeing client visions come to life! I was honoured to help Zest Food and Feeding capture some branding images for her new website and social media profiles recently. Chelsea's business offers a vibrant, empowering and fresh approach to paediatric nutrition - which I think we captured perfectly!

Phoebe definitely left a little sparkle wherever she went at her formal! I had a blast capturing this gorgeous young lady with her graduation partner Alain (and how cool is that 1929 Ford Model A?!).

The SmartHub is a co-working space located in the heritage-listed customs house on Rockhampton's iconic Quay Street. Created as an initiative of Rockhampton Regional Council, the hub is home to a thriving community of people with a drive for business - focusing on providing opportunities for networking, support and education. After reaching out with a need for updated content to use on their website, social media platforms and marketing material I helped to style, plan and coordinate this shoot for the SmartHub over several days of shooting. The brief was to create bright, energetic images which reflected the vibrant and diverse business community of the SmartHub. Photography locations included the co-working spaces, offices for hire, networking functions and the nearby riverbank precinct. This shoot is proof that careful planning pays off - everything from the outfits, stationery, lighting and office plants were considered to make sure that the end results looked exactly how we wanted.

I recently caught up with Jason and Yolinda to get some marketing content for their new venture, The Intentional Branding Company. With a bit of background about their business and a simple creative brief we put together this shoot - creating images that will give their website and social media content visual impact, I love the end result!

I suppose it's only fair when I learn all about you to capture your wedding, family or special occasion that you get the opportunity to know a little about me too! My name is Madelyn (or Maddy for short) - I’m a photographer, graphic designer and adventure-lover based in Central Queensland. After school I completed a Bachelor of Digital Media with Distinction and branched out into graphic design, but ultimately decided to pursue my passion in photography. Now I've captured over 120 weddings across Queensland and internationally - 15 year old me wouldn't have believed it! Whilst I work mainly in portrait photography, I also have a great passion for the outdoors – spending my spare time SCUBA diving, 4WDing and camping (usually with a camera in hand!). My pride and joy is my 2012 Land Rover Defender 90 that takes me everywhere from work, to weekend 4WD adventures and longer road trips across our beautiful country. The fast facts: Avid outdoors enthusiast. Land Rover/4WDing fanatic. Coffee-lover (just give me a white chocolate mocha to make my day). Nature appreciator. Permanent night owl. Animal lover. Indoor plant collector - I'm too scared to count them now. SCUBA diver (and daughter of two ex-commercial divers). Want to plan your own personalised photography session with me? Get in touch, I can't wait to hear from you!

It was our third attempt to line up dates for Mark and Em's engagement shoot (with their pup Leo), but I think it was meant to be as Yeppoon really showed its best side - look how calm that water was! P.S. You might recognise @_markfitz as an incredible fellow photographer and creator for Queensland Tourism, it was such an honour to have him on the other side of the lens with Em - no pressure!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Clarence as proof that your wedding photos can still be beautiful in the rain! We were dreaming of the Glasshouse Mountain views that Maleny is so well known for, but the weather had other ideas for Sophie & Josh's low key destination elopement in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland last week. The wet weather did give me the opportunity to finally experiment with off camera flash, so I sure hope it made braving the rain for their wedding photos worthwhile! What do you think?
