I was pregnant with Maya and only 4 months away from becoming a mama when I photographed Cat & Austin’s wedding with my love and my husband of then 8 years, Doruk. The fact that Doruk and I get to create together, and that we get to roam around wineries with people who feel like family to us, will never get old for me. Here is our visual poem of Cat & Austin’s intimate winter wedding at Ocean View Estates Winery, only featuring their closest family members and the two of them.
Read MoreOriginally built in the 1880s as the residence of Dr. John Thompson, The Inchcolm by Ovolo draws inspiration from the interwar period, a time characterised by its innovative art, music, and literature. In the 1880s, probably no one envisioned that Dr Thompson’s residence would one day be a sought-after wedding venue and much-loved boutique hotel, yet The Inchcolm stands today as a symbol of Brisbane’s rich history and architectural brilliance.
What we love the most about this venue is its perfectly moody light. In conjunction with the considered placement of strobe lights {external flashes positioned across a room to manipulate the light and create a specific ambience}, the angle and intensity of the natural light flowing through the windows in the foyer and in the Thompson Suite make for the perfect setting for wedding and editorial shoots. We keep coming back for more.
Read MoreFelicity and Liam's elopement was a tale of many layers. At its heart, it was about love – pure, profound, and eternal. But it was also about bidding farewell to a city that had nurtured their relationship.
In a world that often rushes towards grandeur and extravagance, Felicity and Liam chose simplicity, authenticity, and art. Their ‘Alice in Wonderland’-themed Brisbane City elopement serves as a testament that when two souls are in harmony, the universe conspires to make their journey as enchanting as their favourite tales.
Brisbane, with its endless charms, had been their playground, their sanctuary, and on this elopement day, their witness.
In our digitised world, where images are fleeting and often relegated to screens, the power of a tangible print has become even more pronounced. While digital photographs are convenient, they often lack the permanence and physicality that come with printed photographs.
Physical prints, especially those rendered on exquisite paper and materials, are an affirmation of moments that matter. A wedding album printed on fine art paper isn't just a collection of photos—it's a family heirloom, a tactile testament to love, and a piece of art.
Moreover, surrounding ourselves with tangible memories in our homes can serve as a daily reminder of the beauty, love, and experiences we cherish. They're not just décor; they're fragments of our life stories that deserve to be celebrated.
Read MoreOBSESSED!!! Having Lovelenscapes capture our wedding was the best decision! I seriously LOVE every photo taken and we are so grateful that we will have these memories to look back on forever. They are a true heirloom and worth the investment. Erin & Doruk were so relaxed and fun to work with and are true artists at their craft. My partner and I cannot sing high enough praises for the whole team at Lovelenscapes!!! Thank you so much for making these memories so special xx

Lovelenscapes are the absolute dream team and we can’t recommend them highly enough. We did our engagement shoot with them and right from the start, Tina made us feel at ease and as though we were chatting to a friend. Tina, Doruk and Gabe then captured our wedding day, in April, from start to finish, with photography and videography. They blended in to our day so well, and all our family and friends are still raving about them. It’s clear to see the passion they have for their jobs. They are simply beautiful humans and we couldn’t have picked a better team to capture our special day. They were so helpful throughout the process and all the images we’ve received so far have blown us away. Our wedding videos exceeded our expectations and we even had an iPhone reel with us as soon as we woke up the morning after the wedding! Incredible! The attention to detail from Lovelenscapes is like nothing we’ve experienced. They truly captured all the special moments, big and small. Do yourself a favour and let them be the ones to capture your special occasions.

Read MoreTina, Doruk and their team are out of this world! Honestly, we feel so grateful to have had Tina shoot our wedding day. She brought so much warmth and love to our day, and our wedding photos are more than we could've imagined. I've always swooned over their beautiful (and unique) shooting style and edit, and to now be at the centre of that is a dream. Thank you, you beautiful humans!

Choosing Tina as the photographer for our vow renewal was the best decision we could've made.
She is AMAZING! In all the senses of the word. The communication with her from the beginning was smooth and she answered all of our questions promptly. Not only did she talk us through the best time for our couple's shoot, but she also helped us create a timeline for the entire event so that she could capture the best moments. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and she helped us look natural. She not only captured the most beautiful moments of us, but also of our guests and all the event details.
She delivered the photos way faster than expected, with astounding quality.
The photos are far better than we could've imagined.
She is lovely, and her good vibes are contagious.
You feel as if she's your lifelong friend and you can't help but feel grateful she's there.
We couldn't be happier with the results. We absolutely love our photos.
Thank you Tina! You're the best!

What an amazing team! Your positive energy, passion and creativity made for some pretty spectacular wedding photos. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful you were on the day and on how amazing the photos are! We will definitely be reaching out to you guys again in future and would recommend you to all our friends and family.

“We got married during the first summer storm, complete with rain and thunder. Tina and Doruk captured the day perfectly, from the rain to our joy in each other. It was more like they were there celebrating with us than just doing a job. They were the only people there during our first look. It’s such a private moment and we couldn’t imagine anyone else doing such an amazing job. And of course their photography work is amazing. We get so much joy out of the photos of our day. Thank you so much Tina and Doruk.”

In their everyday lives, Star & Rob save lives as Medical Professionals. On their wedding day, we slowed things way down and stepped out of time for a moment. We celebrated their love in a quiet, flower-adorned church in the woods with their closest family. Then Doruk and I caught a ferry with just the two of them, over to Coochiemudlo Island, a dreamy little oasis where time seems to stand completely still. Upon their arrival back at Star’s family property at Victoria Point, the party crew and their 80 reception guests had lined up to shower them in rose petals and champagne, freshly shucked oysters and canapes were flowing in abundance, thanks to the wonderful team of Dalton Catering. The night flowed on under the their reception tipi overlooking the ocean, serenaded by a quartet and kissed goodnight with a fairy floss sunset over the bay at Victoria Point.
Read MoreGranting an unprecedented exception, the family’s Catholic Priest had agreed to hold a wedding ceremony outside of his church grounds and officially marry Berna and Tom up on the mountain at Altitude 261 in the Byron Bay Hinterland. This was a first for everyone and certainly something we will never forget.

Read MoreFree-flowing champagne, surprise alpacas, Tuscan cypress lanes, candle light for dinner and a pink villa. This wedding had it all. Redleaf Wollombi in the Hunter Valley was the perfect backdrop for Nitida + Ben's elegant celebrations. Knowing that Nitida adores alpacas, Ben had organised an alpaca appearance when they were signing the marriage certificate. The alpaca made an entrance by licking the bride's face and trying to eat the bouquet. It was absolute perfection. After a stroll through the Tuscan-style grounds of beautiful Redleaf with the alpacas, everyone dined by candle light and danced the night away.
Read MoreI cannot recommend Lovelenscapes highly enough! Tina photographed our wedding and she was a dream from start to finish. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera and just nailed the fun/relaxed vibe. In the lead up to the day, Tina created a photography timeline and rounded guests up for pics on the day which made our life so easy. The photos themselves are absolutely incredible and have far exceeded our expectations (which were quite high having seen their amazing work previously). I can’t stop looking at them and am SO happy with every single picture she sent us. If you’re on the hunt for a wedding photographer (or any photographer) - definitely book with these legends! You will not regret it!

Taryn is from New York, Mick is from Brisbane. After meeting in a wine bar in Chile, Taryn moved across the ocean for love. Originally, Taryn & Mick were supposed to get married in New York, but C*VID had different plans, so they gracefully pivoted to an intimate ceremony and lunch reception at Wild Canary. Having a sustainable, eco-friendly wedding was super important for these two, so they sourced a lot of their vendors through the Less Stuff More Meaning directory. The ethos at their chosen venue, Wild Canary in Brookfield, is perfectly aligned with Taryn & Mick’s values with their emphasis on fresh, farm-to-table produce and whole foods. Taryn & Mick both got ready in the Penthouse at The Johnson in Spring Hill with their favourite people around them. Leigh McCoy & Dyan Acuesta were doing their magic on hair & makeup and Ann Taylor from Ceremona Weddings looked after the most important part and created a soulful ceremony to get these two hitched!
Read MorePublished in QLD Brides Magazine - woohoo! I flew up to Cairns for Hannah and Vinnie’s tropical Queensland wedding at the Shangri-La Hotel. These two are the definition of laid back, loved up legends, so needless to say I had a wonderful time. Four beautiful Little Ones and a giant bridal party of 14 were just a few of the ingredients that made this day as fun and special as it was. Be sure to have a look through the photos from this day if you want to get carried away to the tropical shores of Cairns.
