My first wedding back from holidays and I was ready and raring to get into it! Amy and Liam were quite casual about everything and not too stressed about this whole wedding thing! Always a good way to be!
Paradise Palms is a great place to have a wedding. You can get ready, get married and get fed all at the same place without leaving the property!
Amy and the girls got ready at the new Paradise Palms Resort. The weather was touch and go for the week before and that morning was overcast and raining. When I arrived, Amy was having the finishing touches put on her make-up and the girls were just about done with their hair. When they were done I asked the girls to help Amy put on her dress. It was a dress with a lace up back. Linda, who did the girls hair, also happens to work in the shop that Amy bought the dress from! It was decided that she was the person best qualified to do up the dress! It took Linda no time at all to whip the dress into place and we got on with taking some photos of Amy and Amy and the girls together. Linda also did a fab job on the girls hair!
With all the photos complete I left the girls and headed over to the Golf Club to meet the boys and take some photos of them awaiting Amy’s arrival. It was decided that due to the possibility of rain the ceremony would be held in the room up stairs over looking the golf course. I met Liam and the boys and rushed them outside for some photos. Shortly after Amy and her Dad, followed by her bridesmaids arrived in golf buggies!
Vivian Reid performed a lovely ceremony with readings from Liam’s Mum and sister. After the ceremony, the paperwork was completed and everyone congratulated the newly married Mr and Mrs!
I managed to direct all the guests outside to the entrance staircase for a group photo with the bride and groom. After that we moved onto the driveway for photos with family and friends.
Angie, the fabulous wedding coordinator at Paradise Palms, had organised golf buggies for the bridal party and myself and Angie’s assistant, Katey. The weather held out and we went for a photo tour around the golf course.
Katey drove us all over the golf course to all the best places! She is so helpful and nothing is too much trouble! Katey really makes my job of taking photos on the day easy!
First stop was the hole over looking the entire golf course. It’s quite a spectacular view from up there! We continued on to the magnificent stone bridge for some photos of Amy and Liam with the club house in the background, always one of my favorite photos to take at Paradise Palms.
The photo tour over, we zoomed back to the club house, said my good byes and I left Amy and Liam and their bridal party to join their guests for a an evening of celebration.
Thank you for asking me to be your wedding photographer Amy and Liam. It was a fun day and I enjoyed being part of it.
Below are a few of my favorite pics from the day. You can see more of Amy and Liam’s images at their on-line album.
