Rainforest Engagement Photoshoot on Tamborine Mountain

I love when I get asked to capture the love and joy between couples during their engagement photoshoots, it's such a great way to get the couple more comfortable with me and posing before their wedding day, Recently, I had the pleasure of shooting a beautiful engagement session at some of my favourite spots on Tamborine Mountain, and it was nothing short of magical.


Tamborine Mountain is located in the Scenic Rim region of Queensland, Australia, and it boasts some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the country. (As a mountain resident, I admit I am a bit biased) In my free time I love discovering new waterfalls, and I've even got a secret spot that you can't find on the typical tourist maps.  It was great to get to share these spots with Rick and Leshira for their engagement photoshoot.


They were both so in love, and their chemistry was undeniable. We started the shoot at Curtis Falls, which is a one of the most recognizable spots on Tamborine Mountain. It’s a short walk through the forest to reach the waterfall, and the trek was worth it for the breathtaking views we encountered. The waterfall has a shallow pool, and we captured some of the most romantic shots of the couple sitting on the rocks with the water cascading down behind them.


Next I took the couple to my favourite secret waterfall on the mountain, this couple was definitely up for an adventure! This waterfall is a bit smaller than the others, but it’s just as beautiful. The dense foliage around it creates an peaceful atmosphere, which was perfect for capturing some of the most intimate moments between the couple. We got some gorgeous shots of them embracing each other, with the waterfall in the background.


We ended the shoot at the venue of their upcoming wedding at Cedar Creek Estate with a romantic picnic. Cedar Creek Estate is a leafy vineyard estate, which makes it a great place for any outdoor photoshoot. All in all, the engagement session was a ton of fun, and I couldn't have asked for a better couple to work with. I can't wait to see the joy and love that this couple will share on their wedding day, and I look forward to being there to capture every moment of it.
