A fun and colour filled celebration at an

iconic Brisbane venue


I can't actually believe a whole year has passed since this perfect day, yet here we are! I met the gorgeous Chanel through Instagram back when our kids were just newborns (born just days apart!) and since getting to know these guys I have photographed these guys on no fewer than six occasions.

After meeting on Tinder back in 2014, Chanel & James have built an incredible life together - including a stint living overseas in Canada - and one year ago today they finally got to tie the knot and say I Do.

They chose the iconic Brisbane City venue, The Calile Hotel, to celebrate their love with an intimate guest list of their closest friends and adoring fam. Loads of gorgeous details, wild pops of colour, epic tunes and summery cocktails made this one unforgettable soiree.
