Doug and his groomsmen arrived by helicopter for the outdoor ceremony that took place in the beautiful manicured grounds, and Tamara arrived looking divine in a vintage inspired ivory gown.

With a colour palette of ivory, cream, apricots and soft pinks, roses were featured in the beautiful bouquets and table designs created by Mondo Floral Designs.

Jennifer Oliphant captured the stunning images of the newly-weds and took advantage of a beautiful Maleny day, and the glorious Glass House Mountains.

We wish Tamara and Doug much love and happiness for the future.
