Hi!
I’m Lou O’Brien, and I photograph your life’s most cherished moments because your story is worth remembering. From “I do” to chasing toddlers, I capture the love, laughter, and perfectly imperfect chaos that make your story uniquely yours—because life’s too short for boring photos!
Your Sunshine Coast Photographer
Behind The Lens
My journey into photography started as a press photographer, where I learned to think on my feet, connect with people, and capture moments in the blink of an eye. It was fast-paced, intense, and taught me to see the beauty in the everyday.
When I moved into wedding and family photography, it felt like coming home. I realised it’s not just about taking pictures—it’s about telling stories filled with love, joy, and all the little details that make life special.
Planning a wedding? I get it—it can feel a bit overwhelming. I planned mine in just seven weeks, rocked a red dress, and said "I do" in our backyard. It was perfectly us, and that’s what I want for you—a day that feels true to who you are. I’ll be there to guide you and capture every moment, big or small, so you can relive it forever.
When it comes to family photography, I bring that same energy and creativity. Whether I’m lying in the sand for the perfect beach shot or pulling out my silliest tricks to get the kids laughing, my goal is to make sure everyone feels comfortable, has fun, and ends up with photos that truly reflect who you are.
