Weddings are a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of day. One minute, you're saying "I do," the next, your mum is wiping away happy tears, and before you know it, your pet ring bearer is stealing the show with an unexpected zoomie down the aisle.

That’s where my press photography training comes in. Back in the day, I covered breaking news—no second takes, no “can you do that again?” Just pure instinct, speed, and knowing exactly when to hit the shutter. Now, I bring that same superpower to weddings, making sure every magic moment is captured before it disappears forever. 

Because here’s the thing - your wedding won’t wait for an amateur. If they miss the shot? It’s gone. No do-overs, no time machines. And trust me, you don’t want to be the couple saying, "I wish we had a photo of that!"

I’d love to make sure your day is beautifully documented, with zero regrets.

Hey there!

I’m Lou, welcome to my little corner of the Sunshine Coast! 🌞

I’m a wedding and family photographer, here to capture all the love, laughter, and joy that makes your life uniquely beautiful.

A bit about me: My photography journey started as a press photographer (think fast-paced, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments!). But it wasn’t long before I found my heart in weddings and family photography—telling love stories and freezing those precious, fleeting moments that you’ll treasure forever.

As a wife, mum to twins, and dog mum to Kiki, I get how crazy-busy life can be. That’s why I’m all about creating a relaxed and fun vibe where you feel comfortable being your true self. Whether it’s your wedding day or a family session, I’ll be there to bring calm to the chaos, bring the laughs, and capture all the magic moments.

So, if you’re looking for timeless, joy-filled photos and a photographer who’ll be your biggest cheerleader, let’s chat!

Here’s to a year of epic adventures, belly laughs, and making beautiful memories with your nearest and dearest!

Whether it’s your big day or a family sesh, I’m here to tell your story. Click the link in my bio to book your spot. 📸

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this beautiful family of 3 as they continued their lovely Christmas tradition of yearly family photos. 🥰

Watching little ones grow each year and capturing these special moments for families is one of my favourite things to do this time of year.  It’s like catching up with old friends—but with a camera in hand! 

If it’s been a while since your last family portrait, consider this your sign to make some new memories! Let’s create something magical for your family to look back on. DM me for details and let’s book your session!

Love Notes Like This Make My Day! ✨

Receiving such beautiful reviews from my couples truly warms my heart. 🥰 Words of affirmation are my love language, and knowing that I’ve captured your special moments perfectly means everything to me.

As a small business owner, I pour my heart and soul into giving each of you the best possible experience. Your joy is my joy. Thank you, Larnel and Dale, for your kind words! ❤️

Newly engaged and camera shy?

I totally get it—posing for photos can feel daunting, especially when you want to share your big news with the world but don't feel at ease in front of the lens. Here’s the magic: my approach turns those “eek!” moments into “wow!” ones.
 
I specialise in creating a fun, memorable experience that feels more like a relaxed date than a formal photo shoot. You laugh & have a great time and in the end, you walk away with beautiful photos that capture your love story perfectly.

So if you're looking to share your engagement with stunning photos, and you want to feel comfortable and genuinely happy during the shoot—let's chat! 📩

🎁 "What do you get the person who already has everything? Another scented candle? Socks with reindeers? Nope—I've got something WAY better!" 🎄

Give the gift of memories this Christmas with a family photography session. Because let’s face it, the kids won’t stay this little forever, and we all know Grandma’s been subtly hinting for new family photos since last year. 😉

It’s the kind of gift that doesn’t gather dust—it becomes a treasure.
DM me now to get your Christmas shopping sorted faster than you can say “pass the pavlova!” 🎅

Weddings + phones = memories everywhere 📸✨ 

I love it when guests are as excited as these legends to capture the magic! These guys were SO much fun and made sure every moment was documented. 

But here's a little pro tip: during the ceremony, pop those phones away so you can soak up the love and live the moment! And after, snap away but keep an eye on the photographer (hi 👋) so we can all work together to get those picture-perfect shots. Teamwork makes the dream work, right? 💛

What’s your favourite wedding moment to capture? Let me know! 🥰

Larnel ❤️ Dale

A huge congrats to Larnel & Dale!

These two said "I do" with the stunning backdrop of Moffat Beach  with just their immediate family and then threw an epic party at Moffat Beach Brewing Co to celebrate with all their faves, which couldn’t have been more fitting since that’s where they had their very first date. How special is that? 🥰

This was my last wedding for the year, and honestly, what a way to finish! You two were an absolute blast, and it was such a joy to capture your love story.

Wishing you both a lifetime of laughter, love, and endless adventures! 
💃🕺 Cheers to the new Mr & Mrs! 💍💕

Let’s be real, no wedding timeline ever sticks perfectly. But with years of experience, I know how to get every moment—rain or shine, chaos or calm. Trust me, I’ve got a backup plan (and maybe even a trick or two) to make it all work. 💃🌧️

🎄Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, you’re scrambling for gifts, trying to avoid a Christmas shopping *mouse* (aka stress).🐭

Sound familiar? Let’s face it, we’ve all been there—suddenly realising you’ve forgotten to buy for that one person who has EVERYTHING. And if you have a family that’s impossible to buy for (yes, you, Dad!), I’ve got the perfect solution. 📸

Imagine gifting them something they actually want, that’s meaningful, and will be cherished for years to come.
 
Enter: Family Photography Gift Vouchers. Not only are they thoughtful and unique, but they solve that tricky “what do you get the family who’s already got it all?” dilemma.

Picture this: the whole crew, dressed to impress (no more forced “we’ll take what we can get” outfits) and actually smiling, because you’ve planned something fun - a family photoshoot! No one’s hiding behind the camera, no one’s lost in the blurry background, and no more squinting like you’ve just stepped into the sun.

It’s the perfect way to capture the moments that matter, and those photos? They’ll only get more priceless as the years go by. Trust me, no one’s ever looked at a family portrait and thought, “ugh, I wish we hadn’t done that.”

Oh, and did I mention? No wrapping paper needed. Just pop it in a card and boom! You’ve conquered Christmas gifting in one fell swoop. 🎁

So, what do you say? Ready to be the hero who gives the best gift ever? DM me to grab your gift voucher today - let's make sure your Christmas shopping is sorted before the stress kicks in!

🎉SURPRISE! They're MARRIED! 🎉

Huge congrats to Charlie & Aaron, who not only tied the knot in the most gorgeous, intimate ceremony at Tiffany’s Maleny but kept it under wraps until Aaron’s 40th birthday party! 🎂💍 Just your average Marvel-themed bash…with a side of SURPRISE WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT!💥

I absolutely loved capturing all the personal touches you both poured into the day.

Here’s to love, laughter, and a lifetime of Marvel-ous surprises together! 🥂
