A Laid-Back Love Story in Gympie:
Andie and Brendan’s wedding was a beautiful reflection of who they are as a couple; warm, relaxed, and deeply connected to family. Nestled in the picturesque town of Amamoor in Gympie. The two tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the Village Green Café, surrounded by their closest loved ones. With a laid-back, country charm and plenty of personal touches, their day felt more like a heartfelt gathering than a formal affair, exactly how they envisioned it!
A Local Gem:
The Village Green Café provided the perfect setting for Andie and Brendan’s vows. Tucked away in the heart of Amamoor, a peaceful town in the Mary Valley region of Gympie, the café sits right beside the historic Mary Valley Rattler steam train line, adding a unique, old-world charm to the surroundings. With its lush rural landscapes, wide open lawns, and the soft rustle of gum trees overhead, the venue offered a warm, rustic backdrop that felt both relaxed and meaningful. The couple exchanged vows surrounded by the sounds of country life and familiar faces. Choosing this local gem wasn’t just about aesthetics, it was a heartfelt nod to their connection with the land, their community, and the simple beauty of the place they call home.
Going Home:
After the ceremony, guests gathered at Andie and Brendan’s home for the reception, a decision that brought warmth and authenticity to the celebration. Hosting the reception at home meant everyone could truly relax. Children played in the yard, friends shared stories and the newlyweds were surrounded by the very spaces that have shaped their lives together. A home reception also offered total creative freedom, from self-styled décor to a flexible timeline that allowed the night to flow naturally.
Carefully Curated:
We were honoured to be part of this special day through our Intimate Collection, a carefully curated photography-only package designed for couples who want to remember every small, meaningful detail. With no extra staff and minimal equipment, our presence remained subtle, allowing moments to unfold naturally. Andie and Brendan chose this approach to preserve the quiet joy of their day, and the result was a gallery of timeless, heartfelt images filled with laughter, love, and connection.

Dancing Under Fairy Lights:
Weddings at home bring a unique kind of magic. For Andie and Brendan, after their ceremony at Village Green Café, the real celebration happened at their own home. Hosting the reception there made the day deeply personal, cost-effective, and completely customisable. It meant dancing under fairy lights strung by friends and enjoying the comfort and familiarity of their own space. Their wedding was a beautiful reminder that when you strip away the extras, what remains is what truly matters; love in its simplest, most genuine form.
