Engagement Session at a Seven-Generation Jandowae Farm

 

A Love Story Rooted in Family and Country

There’s something special about celebrating love on a property steeped in history. Jake and Evie chose to capture their engagement at a family farm in Jandowae, a property owned by the same family for seven generations. Nestled roughly an hour and a half from Toowoomba, the farm’s rolling paddocks, rustic barns and weathered fences provided a genuine country backdrop for their session.

Jake and Evie are a lively, fun-loving couple, and they wanted a setting that reflected that spirit. As we wandered through fields of long grass and under towering gum trees, the couple’s laughter echoed across the hills. From the moment they kicked off their boots and danced in the golden afternoon light to playful moments with the farm’s resident animals, their easygoing nature was evident in every frame.

Capturing Candid Moments on a Working Farm

The farm, which has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 100 years, offered more than just scenic views. Each corner told a story:

• Rustic Barns and Weathered Timber: We used the old barn doors and sheds as backdrops, bringing texture and history into the portraits. The couple’s playful interactions, leaning against weathered timber and sharing private jokes, added personality to these images.

• Vast Paddocks: The open fields created a sense of endless possibility. Whether walking hand-in-hand through tall grass or watching the sun dip behind the distant hills, Jake and Evie’s connection felt timeless.

• Generational Elements: We included subtle nods to the family legacy—an old tractor, a hand-carved gate—and captured the couple among these symbols of resilience and continuity. It added depth to the session, connecting their modern love story to the generations that came before.

• Fun With Farm Animals: The couple’s friendly dog and curious cows made cameos, adding a light-hearted touch. These candid moments of Jake and Evie laughing as the dog jumped into the frame were some of the session’s highlights.

Making Your Own Farm Engagement Dreams Come True

If you’re planning your engagement session and want to blend romance, history, and natural beauty, consider a rural property like this one. Working farms provide authentic, textural elements that city or beachfront locations can’t match. Plus, being on a property that has been in the same family for generations adds sentimental weight to your images.

We would love to talk about how we can capture your own love story on a farm or in another meaningful location. Feel free to contact us for more information or reach out to discuss locations that fit your vision.
