Story time. Let’s throw it back to 2017. Anna and Geoff chose Tarureka Estate in Featherston, New Zealand, as their wedding venue. As a Brisbane-based wedding photographer specialising in destination weddings and New Zealand wedding photography at the time, I travelled to the Wairarapa wine region to photograph their celebration at the historic butter factory venue. Their Tarureka Estate wedding blended editorial wedding portraits, authentic connection, joyful goofiness and rain-filled romance in one of the most distinctive wedding venues in New Zealand.

Campaign Shoot for Ulyana Aster Bridal at Deux Belettes 🕯️
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.
Originally 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 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.
In our digitised world, where images are fleeting and often relegated to screens, the power of a tangible print has become even more pronounced. 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.
OBSESSED!!! 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.

A stormy Samford Valley engagement session under heavy skies and tall grass. This Brisbane engagement shoot was all about something real. Walking country roads, laughing in the wind, shaking bubbles beneath darkening trees and embracing the atmosphere instead of chasing sunshine. Cinematic, natural and deeply personal. I photograph engagement sessions across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and their hinterlands, as well as in Dresden and surrounding Saxony. March until May 2026 dates are now open for couples who want movement, nature and connection over stiff posing - photographs that feel like film stills, not staged moments.
