We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos. She made the entire experience feel effortless and natural, even though we were a bit nervous at first. Her calm presence and gentle guidance helped us relax, and it really shows in the photos. We felt completely at ease. We would highly recommend Lou for anyone looking for an easy go to choice to capture your most impactful moments.

Thanks so much, Chris. This honestly means the world to me. I’m so glad you both felt relaxed and at ease, especially if you were feeling a bit nervous at first. Capturing those meaningful, in-between moments is exactly what I love to do, so hearing this makes my heart very full. Thank you for trusting me.

We had a very special opportunity while holidaying at our favourite place, to have all the family together. I contacted Lou to arrange a family shoot on the one day we would be together. From the very beginning Lou was terrific and has captured the most beautiful photos of our family, and all the small family groups within it. It was a lovely experience being guided by Lou, she had to be quick to accommodate two babies and two small children, as well as the adults! Highly recommend creating these memories with Lou

Thank you, Lou for perfectly capturing our wedding day! Lou was a dream for us to work with as we planned our 27/09/25 wedding – super responsive, thorough and a natural at making us feel comfortable! We chose the cherish opulence collection which provided us with photographic coverage for the big day as well as a bonus short and sweet engagement photoshoot. Lou’s talent and experience are clear as she captures beautiful, authentic moments but is also super personable and adaptable. Our guests were very impressed by her warmth, professionalism as well as the quality of our photos once they were ready to share. One of our friends commented, “These are honestly some of the best wedding pictures we’ve ever seen. So well done!” We were over the moon with our wedding gallery (incredibly hard to pick a favourite photo!) and are so thankful we chose Lou. We also appreciated Lou’s excellent knowledge of the Sunshine Coast area and her recommendations around locations and timing of events on the wedding day. We look forward to having Lou capture our special milestones in the future <3

Lou was our wedding photographer in July and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Lou is so generous and warm, and her vibrant personality made us completely at ease in trusting her to document our day. She is an organisational whiz and created the perfect plan for the flow of our ceremony. We are over the moon with the finished photos, and looking back through our album all the magical moments were so beautifully captured and bring our precious memories of such a special day flooding back. Lou was so kind and considerate when taking the time to plan some family portraits for our siblings on the day as well. She also worked seamlessly with our celebrant and our venue hosts, so there was nothing for us to worry about or organise. Lou is an absolute professional and we are so grateful we chose her.

It means the world that you felt supported and relaxed on the day. Working with your families, celebrant and venue team was an absolute delight.

I’m so grateful you chose me to capture your day. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happy adventures.

Our experience with Lou was fantastic! Lou was time efficient and professional. She utilised the small time frame we had and captured the most amazing wedding photos. She controlled the whole shoot for the most optimised photos, which we were so pleased with. Lou also collaborated seamlessly with our videographer, who she had not met prior. We would highly recommend Lou to anyone wanting photos for a special occasions

Lou is absolutely the best photographer we could have asked for, for our wedding! Communication was fantastic and Lou felt like our own wedding planner as she gave so many helpful suggestions to us (like moving the ceremony on an angle so that the photos would turn out better because of the suns positioning at that time of day). Lou visited our venue multiple times to make sure she would capture the most beautiful photos. On the day Lou was so amazing, we received so many compliments about Lou and her organisation. She knew what she wanted to capture and was able to wrangle the guests to make magic happen. Our photos turned out perfect and I wouldn’t change a single thing about them. Lou is absolutely the best in the business and the person you need to capture any moment! Thanks so much again Lou ❤️

Oh Caitlin, you’ve made my day! Thank you so much for your gorgeous words. I promise I don’t actually moonlight as a wedding planner, but I do love sharing little tips to make the photos shine. The Lakehouse was such a beautiful backdrop and I loved scouting it out beforehand. I’m so glad you love your photos as much as I loved capturing them. Big hugs and thanks again for letting me be part of your story.

We absolutely cannot recommend Lou enough! My husband & I cannot stop looking at our wedding photos and are in awe of how Lou managed to capture the day so perfectly. She was super helpful with great communication in the build up, which made our big day run smoothly with no stress. Despite having to battle rain during the afternoon, Lou managed to fit in everything we wanted and more. We are so grateful we found Lou and will be forever thankful every time we look at our beautiful photos in albums & hanging on our wall 🥰 thank you Lou!

Lou is such an incredible photographer! We had our first ever family photoshoot with Lou and we absolutely LOVE the photos so much!!!! I personally couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present. These photos are so special to me and my family. Lou captured all our little moments so perfectly and made us feel so comfortable on the day (we had so much fun)! Lou really understood us, our heart and the assignment! I look at these photos and feel so much joy every single time!!!🥹 I cannot wait to upload some online, but even moreso, hang some on our walls at home - it’s always been a dream of mine to hang some beautiful family photos on the wall❤️ We highly recommend Lou for all your photography needs! She’s the best of the best. Thank you again Lou! We are so grateful and happy with our forever photos!😍🙏

Wow Cianna! Thank you so much for your beautiful words – I honestly feel so lucky to do what I do. Photographing families like yours is exactly why I started this all those years ago. I know how quickly time flies and how precious it is to bottle up those little moments before they change. I’m so glad your first family photoshoot was such a joyful experience and that these photos will live on your walls and in your hearts for years to come. It means the world to me that you trusted me with such a special gift.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We booked Lou for a family photo shoot during our holiday up on the Sunshine Coast to celebrate my dad’s birthday — and it was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Lou’s communication was clear and consistent, and her process was smooth and professional. She made everything so easy and enjoyable, and the final photos were absolutely breathtaking. These images have given us beautiful memories we’ll treasure for years to come. If you’re even thinking about getting professional photos, do yourself a favour and book with Lou — you won’t regret it! Thanks again Lou :)

Charlotte Lee 2025.05.05

     

We genuinely couldn’t be happier with Lou as our wedding photographer for our elopement last September! She brought such great energy - being friendly, upbeat, and incredibly professional. Lou knew exactly what shots she wanted and how to get them without ever making us feel awkward or restricted. She is a total whizz behind the camera and managed to capture hundreds of stunning photos (we were only expecting a few!) that we’ll treasure forever. She was brilliant with everyone — our young children, grandparents, and guests alike — making them feel confident and beautiful without being pushy. The mix of fun and more serious shots perfectly captured everyone’s personality, even though she’d only just met us all as a group that day. Super fast turnaround and truly world-class results. Trust us — just trust Lou. She’s absolutely brilliant and our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Aww Charlotte, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, they honestly mean the world to me! My years as a press photographer really taught me how to connect with people quickly and help them feel comfortable in front of the camera, so it’s such a joy now to use those skills capturing love stories like yours. I feel so lucky I got to meet you both and be part of your beautiful elopement, what an unforgettable day! I’m thrilled you love your photos, you both made it all so fun and special. Big hugs! Lou
