Doug + Courtney | Wedding

Courtney’s sisters and mom share a moment together just before it’s time to walk down the aisle. Courtney shared with me that Doug had specifically requested the “curly” hairdo!

Reenacting a photo that was taken with Courtney’s mom and grandmother makes a treasured keepsake. (L) Original jewelry from mom’s wedding along with Courtney’s for today. Mom really wanted to make today special and sentimental.

Doug & Courtney both share BIG families! It’s very refreshing to see such love & support by those close to you. My assistant took the great shot of the guys praying.

Courtney & Doug recited a marriage covenant together. A special touch to include the wedding party and parents as they each came up to sign the agreement.

When I first met Courtney & Doug I asked how they met. It’s a classic story of romance… Courtney was filling in for Doug’s physical therapist and the connection was made! I know Doug is counting his blessings for being injured and meeting such a kindhearted physical therapist! Courtney has a very sweet spirit and presence about her. They make such a great couple!

Here we are all smiles, with natural lighting!! Today was supposed to rain all day… I can continue on my promise to my brides that I have never been totally rained out and not shot in natural light!

The reception took place in the Great Hall at the Stranahan with one of my favorite wedding caterers – Michael’s Gourmet Catering.

So sweet!

A photo booth was set up at the reception for this fun shot! Courtney & her two sisters were all married within the year. Look at poor Dad! To see more photo booth shots click here.

(Rotate screen) This year I was a bit ambitious. In-between school drop off and pickup one day - I designed a “look book” for the sunflower festival. There is a spread that shows how the lighting in the field changes by the half hour and sun vs overcast days. I’ll have a copy at the photo sign in table and my pod for those that would like to turn it’s pages… and maybe even see yourself as I know I have a lot of repeat clients each festival 🌻
Every wedding has that photo… this was theirs.

The one that somehow holds everything—the energy, the calm, the just-married feeling you can’t quite put into words.

But the truth is, it’s never just one moment.
It’s a whole in-between chapter.

The quiet moments, the laughter, the “what do we do with our hands?”
The way it all unfolds naturally when you’re just being together.

Part 1: finding the light, settling the nerves, easing into it.
Part 2: where the magic sneaks in ✨

This is what your portrait gallery can feel like.
Landi + Ash’s garden wedding at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens was full of sunshine, greenery, and the happiest kind of smiles 🌿🤍
The kind of day where everything feels easy — laughter, love, and those in-between moments that matter most. #rothwellsbrisbane #brisbanecitybotanicalgardens #withlovebrisbaneweddingdecorators
