I did a little engagement shoot for these guys at Fingal Head, a few prep pics at the Calile, and then shot their wedding at the Powerhouse in Brisbane. A lot of variety for photo ops, and my first time inside the @bris_powerhou](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a558fc3914e6bf1d7272cfb/1729826682016-0Z17F2FY8BYRHL9OIZXY/image-asset.jpeg)
