❤️ MADISON & KRISTIAN ❤️

A chance meeting in a butchers shop 13 years ago sparked an incredible romance between these two beautiful humans.

Over the years they’ve endured long distance, health battles, and overcome so many obstacles together - which forms the kind of bond that was so evident to see on their wedding day.

Crazy strong winds on Trinity Beach weren’t exactly what we ordered - but the hairstyles stood strong, the veil did all the swishy veil things - and despite some dramatic stormy skies, the rain held off for us.

Later in the evening, just as we arrived back at the Chambers, the rain did arrive - right on cue. We took the opportunity to sneak outside into the middle of a busy intersection to capture a magical epic rain shot ✨

Then everyone partied the night away - it was such a fun, uplifting wedding day and I’m honoured that you chose me to share a part in it 🥰🥰

I’ve said it before, but I need to say it again… 🤍

One of the greatest privileges of this job is that it doesn’t end on a wedding day. I get to meet two people in the excitement of planning a life together, photograph their wedding, and then, if I’m lucky, be invited back years later to capture the family they’ve created.

I first met Beau and Dylan about five years ago when they were newly engaged. Since then, I’ve photographed their wedding, and now this is our second family session together. Every time I’ve seen them, their story has unfolded a little more.

Sunday afternoon was everything I love about family photography. Before the session, I saw the sweetest little video on Beau’s Instagram of her giving Harvey an airplane ride on her feet, and I knew I wanted to recreate that feeling in photos. I honestly couldn’t love these images more. They feel playful, genuine, and capture their bond so beautifully.

Afterwards, Beau said to me, “I just want to bottle these moments up and keep them forever.” I don’t think there’s a better way to describe this season of parenthood.

One of my favourite things about photographing families is noticing the little dynamics that make them who they are. Beau is the adventurous one, always ready to get silly and play, while Dylan is the calm, gentle presence. I loved watching the two of them together with Harvey. Love doesn’t always look the same, and I think that’s one of my favourite things about it.

Thank you, Beau, Dylan and Harvey, for inviting me back into another chapter of your lives. Being trusted to capture these seasons is something I’ll never take for granted.

🤍 Amy

🤍 Rylee & Christopher 🤍

Rylee & Christopher wanted to make their wedding day all about family, friends, and spending as much time with their guests as possible 🥰

Instead of heading off for a long bridal party photo session, they chose to just hang out with everyone - watching the kids enjoy the bouncy castle, playing lawn games, sharing hugs, laughs and conversations, and simply being present.

The grand total time spent on their “couple shoot” was 3 minutes, as the golden light settled over the pine trees… just enough to capture a few beautiful portraits for the wall, and then back to the party!

It was a perfect celebration of their love, and was an absolute joy be there capturing it all 🙌🏼

🌼 It’s been a fun July 🌼

We enjoyed heading to the drive-in to watch the new Minions movie during the school holidays, followed by all the little moments we love most—homemade scones and tea, pizza evenings on the Esplanade, Sunday brunches at Gigi, bubble tea dates, and plenty of adventures together.

This month we explored the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair, had an action-packed day at the Cairns Show where Imogen braved her first big rides, and Imogen and I also got to attend our first wedding together as guests, which was really special.

We also loved having Isaac’s sister, Meg, visit from New Zealand for a week, giving us the perfect excuse to show her around Cairns, discover some new cafés and restaurants, and spend a beautiful day exploring the Tablelands together.

Peak wedding season is always our busiest time of year, but we’ve been making a conscious decision to prioritise family time. It does mean our gallery delivery times have stretched out a little, but it’s a trade-off we’ve realised we need to make. These moments with Imogen while she’s little are something we want to be as present for as possible. Thank you to our couples for your patience and understanding. 🙏

For this month’s family photos, we headed up to the Tablelands with Aunty Meg, chasing waterfalls, wandering beneath the incredible Cathedral Fig Tree, and stumbling across the most beautiful broccolini field. Looking back through these photos always makes me so grateful that we continue making the time to document our own family too.

Imogen now has the cutest little smile after losing her two front teeth! 🥹

Here’s to another month of little moments that add up to mean everything. 🤍

❤️ MEG & ZAYDEN ❤️

Meg & Zayden’s ceremony was held on Zayden’s grandparents farm in Mossman - a place that is really special to them 😍

Then it was down to Port Douglas for their reception at the Sugar Wharf, where everyone enjoyed beautiful sunset canapés and cocktails on the deck - before heading inside to party the night away 💃

Meg & Zayden, thank you both for inviting me along to share a part in your magical wedding 🥰

❤️ LEXI & MAREK ❤️

After their first meeting at Muai Thai training class where Marek accidentally head kicked Lexi … 😅 … they decided to have their first date at a waterfall in Mowbray, near Port Douglas.

On the drive home from that very first date, they went past these beautiful big lakeside houses and said to each other “what a stunning property, imagine having a wedding there!”.

Fast forward a few years, and that is exactly what happened 😍

After their ceremony near the lake, we wandered around the grounds to soak up the beautiful late afternoon golden light.

Throughout the day, a selection of meats and vegetables were being slowly smoked over an open firepit… and soon the wait was over and it was time to tuck into an epic feast, under the glow of festoon lights.

The dancefloor was pumping all night - and we wrapped things up with a final epic photo underneath the stars ✨✨

Lexi & Marek, thanks so much for having me along to capture your incredible wedding day 😍

🌸 HAYLEY & JESSIE 🌸

It was such a magical wedding celebration for Hayley & Jessie 🥰

After their ceremony, we stopped into @billycartbrewing for a few cold ones & the chance for Hayley and Jessie to test out their pouring skills behind the taps 🍺

As we made our way back from Atherton to their family property in Koah, we made a few stops - some magnificent longhorn cattle, and a beautiful grass field that I’ve been eyeing up for at least 3 years & never had an opportunity to pass by on a wedding day 🩷

Then it was back to party the night away in the backyard under a curtain of fairy lights ✨✨

Hayley & Jessie, thanks so much for having me along to share a part in your wedding day!

🩷 TEGAN & KAINEN 🩷

How special to have your wedding ceremony on the land where your grandparents settled when they emigrated to Australia… the land where they raised their kids & grandkids … and today, Tegan’s Nanna still lives there & played an important role in their wedding day 🥰🥰

After a few photos in the lush rainforest setting of Stoney Creek, we headed to the beach for a change of scene - before kicking off the party back at the Bluewater.

It was a magical evening, complete with some really heartfelt speeches and an epic first dance!!

Tegan & Kainen, thanks so much for having me along to share a part in your beautiful wedding 💕

🌼 Tarra & Alex 🌼

Tucked away in Brinsmead, Tarra and Alex celebrated their wedding at the beautiful Secret Garden, along with their closest friends and family.

The golden sunlight trickled through the trees, a perfect setting for some post ceremony champagne in the garden.

They were also joined by their two gorgeous doggos - who Alex had even managed to replicate with a pretty true to life cake topper courtesy of Etsy.

Afterwards, we ducked into Goomboora park for a couple of lush rainforest-y photos, before heading to rejoin their guests at Palooka for an epic evening celebration.

Tarra & Alex - thank you both so much for having me along to share a part in your incredible day!

💛 Some afternoons are simply good for the soul 💛

A cloudy sky, dusty little feet, and a picnic rug filled with cuddles. It was such a joy to spend the afternoon with Maryna, Viktor and their beautiful girls.

Between the chasey, tree climbing, cartwheels, girls flying through the air, and endless giggles, there was so much joy and connection to capture.

We finished the afternoon with salty air and sandy toes at the beach.

These are the moments that matter. Thank you for trusting me to capture your beautiful family.

🤍 Amy

🩷 TEGAN & PAUL 🩷

Had a great time with these two on Sunday afternoon for their engagement shoot!

A last minute downpour just before we started had us all feeling a little nervous - but we managed to get some beautiful golden light, and a stunning sunset too 🙌🏼

Thanks so much Tegan & Paul - looking forward to the wedding 😍
