Sherry and Brent were joined by family and friends for a lovely casual ceremony at 3.30 pm on Trinity Beach.
I arrived at Sherry and Brent’s place to do the brides preparation photos at 2.15. Sherry’s hair and make-up was all done and she was almost ready go. Kristy from Blush Hair and Make-up had done a fabulous job! First up I had to meet Jarvis. Jarvis is Sherry and Brent’s handsome 3 year old German Shepard and he would be attending the wedding as the “best-dog” in his suit! I took some photos of Jarvis before he was collected and taken down to the ceremony location. We then got on with photographing Sherry’s dress and flowers.
Sherry’s Mum helped her get dressed into her gorgeous dress. It was the ideal dress for a relaxed beach wedding and suited Sherry just perfectly. Sherry is lovely and happy and always smiling! I don’t think I even glimpsed Sherry without her sparkling smile at all during the day!
Some photos in the garden with Sherry’s Mum and Dad and brother and sister, then I headed down to the beach to meet Brent and his bestman, Rowan.
I arrived to see most of the guests milling around the ceremony location at the southern end of Trinity Beach. I gathered Brent and Rowan together for a few shots before Sherry’s arrival. Turns out I am also photographing Rowan’s wedding in October! I had not met him before Friday!
Sherry arrived with her Dad and sister Jody right on time. I met them at the top of the stairs along with Judel from Trendy Jeans who captured the day on video!
A lovely ceremony was performed by Kay Earl, with readings from Sherry’s brother and Brent’s sister. Before long it was time to do the paperwork and then Sherry and Brent were introduced as Mr and Mrs!
I took a group photo of all the guests showering Sherry and Brent with rose petals with the ocean as a back drop. This was followed by family and friends photos with Sherry and Brent, after which the guests retired to my favorite restaurant L’unico’s for pre-dinner drinks while we continued on with the bridal party photo shoot on the beach.
Brent and Sherry were easy to photograph and keen to get some good shots! So keen in fact they didn’t even bat an eye-lid when I asked them to climb across the rocks with no shoes on! The rocks were really sharp too! They did see a turtle though while I was composing a couple of my shots! So that was pretty cool!
I just love the texture of the rocks and the mess of lines on a really big old figtree I found to hang everyone out of!
We left the beach and headed over to Sherry and Brent’s place to photograph the cake, then back to the reception to make their grand entrance! The reception was held at the Blue Moon Grill. I have heard lots of good stuff about the Blue Moon Grill so I am quite sure the food was delicious!
Thank you for asking me to be your photographer and share this special day with you Sherry and Brent. I had a great day and enjoyed being part of it.
