We bring different perspectives to the table, but we’re united by a love for love and the nature that surrounds us.
Our Team
Emma Reynolds
Flower Farm Founder, Owner & Grower
Hi I'm Emma,I am the founder of Macadamia Floral Farm nestled in the peaceful hills of Laceys Creek, Queensland. Our farm sits on 40 beautiful acres where we also run a Country farmhouse, farm stay. What began as a simple way to add beauty for our guests, has grown quite literally into a full flower farm, sharing seasonal blooms with people across the region.
Our flowers are grown sustainably, without chemicals or harsh tillage. we nurture the soil and the ecosystem around it, keeping the beneficial bugs happy and our blooms even happier. Everything we grow is seasonal, local and proudly grown not flown- a slower, more meaningful way to enjoy growing flowers.
More than just flowers, our farm is about sharing joy, connection and a sense of occasion.
When I'm not in the flower field I'm likely hosting family and friends, cooking up a storm or styling a long gathering table because making people feel special is at the heart of everything I do.

Hey, I'm Amber, a Brisbane-based Marriage Celebrant and MC who's big on connection, calm energy, and ceremonies that actually feel like something.
I work with modern couples who want their wedding ceremony to be personal, relaxed and beautifully put together, without feeling awkward, overdone or performative. With years of experience and a seriously considered approach, I guide couples through every step, from shaping the tone and structure to supporting vows and managing the flow on the day.
My ceremonies are always written from scratch, grounded in your story, and delivered with warmth, confidence and intention. The result is a moment that feels effortless, emotional in all the right ways, and genuinely enjoyable for you and your guests.
If you're after a celebrant who knows how to read a room, hold the space, and make your ceremony feel easy, meaningful and memorable we'll get along very nicely.

I’ve always had a passion for people and the beauty that surrounds us in the little moments of life. So when I discovered the art of photography 16 years ago I was instantly captivated by the ability to capture all this in a single image. Stored and treasured forever.
A huge bonus for me is the amazing people I get to meet along the way…

Ingrid Coles
Photographer | Booker | Founder of LOVE ERA COLLECTIVE
Hi, I am Ingrid.
I’m a mother, a storyteller, and a photographer with 15 years of experience documenting love, connection and all the beautifully fleeting moments that make up a life.
I’ve always been drawn to the in-between, the quiet glances, the loud laughter, the nervous hands, the unexpected tears, the messy moments and the magic that happens when nobody is trying too hard to create it. To me, the most powerful stories aren’t always found in the perfectly posed moments. They live in the spaces between them.
For 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings and witnessing people begin a new chapter together. Along the way, I fell in love not only with the people and their stories, but with the places where those stories unfold.
My dream has always been to create something a little different, an elopement experience deeply connected to place, people and community.
That dream became LOVE ERA COLLECTIVE.
I imagined an elopement business that brings together the incredible local talent of the Moreton Bay Shire farmers, chefs, photographers, celebrants, florists, stylists, creating meaningful celebrations that feel authentic to the people at the heart of them.
And then there’s Lacey’s Creek.
The nature surrounding this beautiful part of the world has a special kind of magic. The trees, the light, the winding creek, the sounds of the bush and the feeling of being completely immersed in nature have become a huge part of the inspiration behind LOVE ERA COLLECTIVE.
I believe your wedding day doesn’t have to be about following a formula. It can be about slowing down. Taking the people you love somewhere beautiful. Letting the landscape become part of your story.
