Tara & Ethan met just three years ago at Tara’s workplace, and by the end of that year, their journey took a beautiful turn with them finding out their were expecting! Ethan proposed that year at midnight under the New Year’s Eve fireworks at Broadwater, the perfect start to a life together. By May, they welcomed their daughter, Aliyah, into the world—a little bundle of joy who became their everything. In June, they took another big step, buying their first home and creating a space to grow as a family.


Their wedding at Cowbell Creek was a stunning celebration of everything they’ve built together. From the morning preparations at Meriton Broadbeach to the sunlit rolling hills of their hinterland ceremony, every detail of the day reflected the love they share. Before the ceremony, they shared their personal vows in private in the quiet reception space—a tender moment to mark the beginning of this next chapter.


At the heart of their day was Aliyah—their absolute world and the glue that brings their story together. She reminds them every day of just how far they’ve come and how much they have to look forward to.
