Ryan and Beth were married at the Sea Temple Resort and Spa at Palm Cove. It rained all night and was raining in the morning, but Pastor Charlie must have had a word, as it cleared up after lunch! It was a little overcast but all good for photos on the beach after the ceremony.
I arrived at the Sea Temple to discover we didn’t have a bride! Five minutes of ringing around and then Beth came whirling in from the Hotel forecourt carrying her dress, wearing a singlet, shorts and her wedding shoes! We all piled into the lift and headed up to the room. I took some shots of Beth’s dress, shoes and flowers and then helped her into her gorgeous dress. Beth looked stunning in her dress! I took some photos of her by herself……Beth is dream to photograph! She is lovely, happy and smiley and was not at all showing any stress on her wedding day! Beth was joined by Carly, her bridesmaid, for some photos together and then we headed out onto the balcony to take some photos with Beth’s Mum and the rest of Beth’s family. The kids were gorgeous and very well behaved!
I left the girls and headed down to the ceremony location to meet Pastor Charlie, Ryan and his best man. Ryan also is very photogenic! Shortly after 3pm Beth walked down the aisle on the arm of her Mum looking radiant and excited about marrying Ryan. Pastor Charlie did a wonderful job of the ceremony, making it interesting and amusing! The paperwork took a few minutes and then Ryan and Beth were introduced as Mr and Mrs!
We gathered family and friends on the forecourt of the Hotel for a group photo followed by family photos with Beth and Ryan.
The skies were looking ominous so we decided to head straight to the beach for some photos down there before it rained. My favorite beach photo is the fifth one day, I love the the dark clouds in background! We actually got more time on the beach than we expected. We headed back into the Resort to take some shots around the buildings. The texture of the bricks around the Sea Temple are really cool and make an excellent back drop for photos! We finished up back out the front of the Resort with Beth and Ryan standing on the entrance sign!
Ryan and Beth thank you for asking me to be your photographer! I had the best time and you guys are heaps of fun and very easy to photograph!
