Engaged: Andrea & Dwayne at Currimundi Lake

26th January 2015

Active Sunshine Coast couple, Andrea and Dwayne, wanted their love story captured in a way that would speak to the true essence of them as a couple.

9 Ways to Wear a Floral Wreath for your Wedding

20th January 2015

You know, I’m quite fond of the floral-wreath-sporting bride.

There will never be another piece like it. It’s unique to you and your special day.  The other thing I love about the floral wreath is how versatile it is. For example, here are nine very different ways to wear a floral wreath. All of these delicate beauties were lovingly created by the…
