I had the absolute honor of capturing Bayley & Dan’s wedding on their breathtaking property in Speewah.


Their love story began in 2015 at a tennis club in Florida, where Bayley worked. Dan planned to stay for just a week—but meeting Bayley changed everything. One week turned into nine months, and by then, they were inseparable, with Dan asking Bayley to return to Australia with him. Their love grew stronger as they embarked on an epic month-long road trip from Florida to Vancouver, creating memories that would last a lifetime.


Fast forward to life in Far North Queensland, and on November 23, 2021, Dan made it official. With their dog, Otto, by their side and the creek as their backdrop, he proposed during an evening walk.


Their wedding was a true reflection of their journey—filled with love, laughter, and the beauty of everything they’ve built together.
