I've noticed so many brides choosing gorgeous shades of green for their bridesmaids lately, and I am absolutely here for it! šŸ’š

As someone who loves being outdoors and surrounded by nature, these earthy tones just feel so timeless and beautiful.

Kiki got the memo too. šŸ¶šŸ’ššŸš²

There’s nothing better than hitting ā€œsendā€ on a wedding gallery!

Lateesha & Aiden’s day was pure magic and I’m so excited for them to relive it all over again. Every laugh, every happy tear, every in-between moment they didn’t even know I caught.

"We're so awkward in front of the camera..."

I've lost count of how many couples have said this to me over the years, and yet you'd never know it when you see their photos.

Larnel & Dale were one of those couples who worried about being photographed. Then this beautiful message landed in my inbox:

"Thank you beautiful Lou, we absolutely love love the pictures. They made us cry. Thank you so much for truly capturing 'us' on our special day. It is so wonderful looking through them with a massive smile on our face, as you not only captured the special intimate moments, you also captured the laughter and spontaneous moments we shared."

And that's exactly what I want for every couple.

Not stiff poses. Not awkward smiles.

Just the two of you being yourselves, laughing, cuddling, celebrating and soaking up one of the best days of your lives.

With 20+ years behind the camera, including my background as a press photographer, I've learnt how to help people feel comfortable quickly so those real moments can shine through.

Because years from now, I want your photos to bring back the feeling, not just show you what happened.

If you're planning a Sunshine Coast wedding and feeling a little camera shy, send me a DM or enquire via my website. I'd love to help you feel completely at ease.

LateeshaĀ ā¤ļøĀ Aiden

What a stunning day you had for your beautiful midday lunch wedding at Secrets on the Lake. It was just what you wanted, a relaxed, intimate occasion filled with so much love.

Lateesha & Aiden told me they were camera shy... and you'd never know it from these photos. This is what happens when you stop worrying about the camera and focus on each other.

Congratulations, you two. I can't wait to share more from your beautiful day!

Can we just take a moment for this little flower girl?Ā šŸ˜‚šŸ’•

While everyone else was standing nicely for the family photo, she decided it was the perfect time to show off her sass and personality... and honestly, I love it!

These are the moments that make me smile when I'm editing a wedding gallery. Not the perfectly posed photos, but the unexpected little moments that tell the real story of the day.

Years from now, this is the photo that will have everyone laughing and saying, "Yep, that's exactly what she was like!"

It's these little personalities, cheeky expressions, and unplanned moments that make wedding memories so special.

I have a theory...

Every engagement has an engagement ring, so every wedding should have a wedding album. šŸ’šŸ“–

One marks the beginning of your story. The other helps you relive it.

There's just something special about holding your memories in your hands instead of scrolling past them on a screen.

That's why I include a wedding album with all of my wedding collections.

POV: You feel like yourself in this dress

I love seeing a bride trulyĀ enjoyĀ being in her wedding dress.
Floating along the beach, feeling relaxed, confident, and completely herself… that’s the magic right there.

You only get to wear your wedding dress for one day, so choose one that feels like you and a photographer who makes you feel totally comfortable in it.

This beauty is from Exquisite Gowns By Yvonne and yes… it even had pockets (we love that for her!)Ā šŸ™Œ

Tell me… are you team fitted elegance or flowy and dreamy for your wedding dress?Ā šŸ‘—šŸ’¬šŸ‘‡

Last week I had the pleasure of having Olive join me for her school work experience, and what a great week it was!Ā šŸ“ø

Over the years I've been lucky enough to mentor quite a few work experience students and school-based trainees, and one thing I've learned is that it never feels like a one-way street. I always come away learning something new too.

From helping behind the scenes to jumping in during shoots, Olive was an absolute superstar and such a lovely side-kick to have around. We wrapped up the week with a fun photoshoot at The Prideaux Estate, which was the perfect way to finish off a great few days.

A big thank you to Olive for all your help, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn. Wishing you all the best on your photography journey. Keep creating, keep learning, and keep having fun with it!

There’s something I genuinely love about working with camera shy couples.

At a recent styled shoot, we roped in our very reluctant bride. She was honest from the start that she doesn’t like having her photo taken, and I totally get that feeling. But what I saw was someone absolutely stunning, inside and out.

And that’s the part I never get tired of… being able to show people how they’re actually seen when they trust the process and let themselves relax into it.

In my eyes, everyone is beautiful. When you lean in, let go a little, and just enjoy the experience, it stops feeling like ā€œbeing photographedā€ and starts feeling like fun. And that’s when the real magic happens.

You don’t need to know how to pose or feel confident in front of the camera. That’s my job. You just get to show up as you are.

And honestly… I think you’ll be surprised at how incredible you look when you see yourself through my lens.

Thanks to my beautiful bride Abbey for trusting me.

Behind this shot… they started a little camera shy, then everything clicked.

Once couples relax, the fun just flows and the best moments happen naturally.

Just trust the process.

And you don’t need to be engaged or even married… couple sessions are just a fun excuse to play, laugh and make memories together.
