Kate & Deon

A Love-Filled Day at Walkabout Creek

Some weddings stay with you for a long time, and this was definitely one of them. Kate and Deon’s wedding was two years in the making — and every moment, every detail, and every emotion made it worth the wait. The day may have had a little rain, but nothing could dampen the joy, love, and celebration that filled Walkabout Creek on their big day.

From the moment I arrived, I could feel the thought and care Kate had poured into every part of the day. One of my favourite little touches? The beautiful organic tea and heart-shaped tea strainers given to each guest as gifts — such a personal and thoughtful way to say thank you. It’s the little things like that which speak volumes, and Kate absolutely nailed it.

The invitation suite was another standout — absolutely stunning, and even more meaningful knowing they were designed by Kate’s mum. It certainly helps when your mum was a graphic designer and an art teacher! Every detail was elegant and artistic, a true reflection of the creative spirit that runs in the family.

The ceremony, led by the ever-charismatic Blake Reynolds, was full of laughter, heartfelt words, and the kind of moments that give you goosebumps. And when it was time to party, DJ Jamie-Lee Fox brought the energy and the perfect playlist to keep the dance floor buzzing all night long.

Kate looked absolutely breathtaking in her gown from Jean Fox Bridal, with flawless makeup by Mrie from Mariele MUA and gorgeous hair styling by Carly from Hair by Carly Pascoe. The florals from Brisbane Market Flowers added a soft, romantic touch and completed the day beautifully.

The bushland surrounds at Walkabout Creek were the perfect backdrop, creating a relaxed and intimate vibe — and of course, I was also visited by my favourite little guest of the evening... the local possum! 🐾 Always a highlight and such a cheeky reminder of the venue’s natural beauty.


A huge shoutout to the amazing team that helped bring this dream day to life:


Kate and Deon, thank you for trusting me to capture such a special day. Your love, your laughs, and your beautifully personal touches made this wedding one I’ll never forget. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, joy... and many cosy cups of tea together.

With love,
