Melissa and Mark came to Cairns from Sydney to be married at the Sebel Cairns Hotel. A small gathering of family and friends joined them, along with their 3 boys for the ceremony on the balcony inside the Hotel at 11am.
The weather wasn’t great on the day, so the ceremony was held inside. Kay Earl conducted a lovely ceremony which included readings by both Alex and Ethan.
After the ceremony I took a group photo of everyone from the next level up balcony and then we headed over to the staircase for the family photos. The family photos were very relaxed with everyone sitting on the stairs around Melissa and Mark.
After the family photos, as the rain was coming down horizontally outside, we had a wander around the hotel for the photo shoot. The furnishings inside the Sebel are classic and make excellent backgrounds for photos. The spiral staircase has always been a favorite! I love the stripey upholstered chairs and the ornate black mirror hanging on the white wall. The Hotel forecourt is also a fab place for photos with big tall glass windows and lots of white walls!
We headed back upstairs for some family photos with Mason once he had woken up as he had slept through the ceremony and the photos afterward! Then I left Melissa and Mark to enjoy a delicious lunch with their friends and family.
Thanks for having me along to capture your special day Melissa and Mark!
