These Brisbane natives certainly know how to impress a crowd. Abundant with top-notch nosh, quality booze, lush greenery and feel-good vibes, Taryn and Kahl held their marquee wedding at the Upper Brookfield Community Hall.

Luke Going captured the relaxed wedding day, snapping plenty of intimate moments between the bride and groom. After celebrating a whopping 10-year anniversary before they got married, we think it was about time that these two shared a kiss at the altar!

The couple have plenty of adventures under their belt after 10 years together. Whilst travelling around Japan, Kahl popped the question after keeping the ring in his sock for two whole weeks before dropping to one knee! We do hope he changed his socks every once in a while…

With Taryn being a graphic designer by trade, she very much took the reins on the styling and design of their wedding – hand creating a macramé wedding arbour, leafy chandeliers, a hanging installation and she also designed all the laser-cut elements.

The theme for the day was botanical with a design focus; abundant greenery, twinkling fairy lights, native Bits & Buds florals and natural, exposed wood fit the brief.

Whilst the bride sourced her own greenery for the décor, Bits & Buds created the ladies’ bouquets as well as the guys’ buttonholes, with a stunning blend of native blooms and foliage.
