Sophie and Ben were joined by family and friends at the Cairns Colonial Club Resort for their wedding on the 10th July.
Sophie and her four bridesmaids got ready in the bridal suite at the Colonial Club. When I arrived the bridesmaids were almost ready. Two of them were preparing to dress their cute little daughters in their fairy outfits! I photographed Sophie’s dress, shoes, flowers and jewellery and then we waited for the hair dresser to return and finish off Sophie’s hair. It was quite a windy day and she wanted to leave the final touches for right before the ceremony. Hair all done, the girls helped Sophie get into her dress.
Sophie looked stunning in her dress! Her hair and make-up looked fab and her big brown eyes are just gorgeous! The colour theme for the day was black and pink, my favorite colour scheme, it really stands out in a rainforest or garden setting. The girls wore rock and roll style full skirted black dresses and their flowers were hot pink gerberas. We quickly finished off the photos and I headed over to the ceremony to take some shots of Ben and the boys awaiting Sophie’s arrival.
Sophie and the girls were not far behind me and I met them in the foyer of the conference centre.
The ceremony was held at the Garden Gazebo in the lush tropical Gardens of the Resort. Eve Prince performed a lovely ceremony which included welcoming all of Sophie and Ben’s guests, especially mentioning by name those who had come from a long way to join them. Sophie was walked down the red carpet to her waiting groom by her Mum and Her Grandad.
The two little fairies almost stole the show!
A flower shower followed the ceremony and a group photo of all the guests with Sophie and Ben taken from the Jardines Restaurant balcony.After that I took photos of Sophie and Ben with their family and friends. The weather was a bit touch and go, so it was decided that we would take all the photos in the garden around the Resort. There are lots of options at the Colonial Club including the big ornate spiral timber staircase in the foyer.
It took around an hour to complete the photo shoot. From there I said my good-byes and left Sophie and Ben to go back to their room to freshen up before the reception.
Thank you for having me as your photographer Sophie and Ben, it was fun!
Below are some of my favorite images from the day. You can see more photos at Sophie and Ben’s on-line album.
The cutest fairies you have ever seen!
