A small intimate gathering with a few family and friends, Lauren and Shane were married outside the Angsana Chapel at Palm Cove. Barbie Anderson performed a lovely ceremony which included readings from both the bride’s and the grooms’ brothers. A group photo with everyone afterwards and then photos of family and friends with Lauren and Shane.

Some photos on the beach in front of Angsana then we headed down to the Palm Cove jetty for some more fun and photos!

Back at Angsana we did the mock cake cutting photos then I left Shane and Lauren to enjoy their wedding celebrations with their guests at the reception which was held inside the Angsana Chapel.

I love the warm tone to Lauren and Shane’s photos. We have had a lot of bushfires on the Atherton Tablelands and surrounds, combined with northerly winds there was a pall of smoke haze hanging around diffusing the light from the sun, giving this lovely warm effect to the photos. To see more photos from Lauren and Shane’s wedding day check out their on-line album.

Saturday morning it was overcast and raining……..by the time 2pm Saturday afternoon came around the sun was shining and the sky was blue! Phew!

When I arrived at Dan and Anusha’s place the house was a hive of activity with Anusha’s parents, brothers and relatives all getting ready. Anusha looked stunning in her Sri Lankan traditional sari made from gold silk. Anusha’s Mum helped her with her jewellery, then Dan’s brother Nic arrived to deliver Anusha’s flowers. Anusha’s bridesmaid, Bernadette was also wearing a traditional sari which really fitted in with all the ladies! We took lots of photos with everyone, Anusha’s uncle was very helpful holding my reflector for me! A quick photo with Dan and Anusha’s gorgeous Border Collie’s before I headed down to the chapel to photograph Dan and Nic awaiting Anusha’a arrival.

Barbie Anderson performed a lovely ceremony at the Angsana Chapel at Palm Cove, with readings by both Anusha and Dan’s mothers. The paperwork complete, Dan and Anusha left the Chapel as Mr and Mrs! As they walked from the chapel the guests formed a guard of honor to throw petals for Dan and Anusha to walk through! A big group photo in front of the chapel was next, followed by family and friends photos with the bride and groom. The guests then headed down to the restaurant for drinks and canapes while we continued on down to the beach for photos.

After photos on the beach and palm tree lined esplanade, Dan and Anusha were transported in muscle car luxury, a fire engine red ’71 mustang convertible, to the Palm Cove jetty for more photos! Very cool!

Photos on the rocks and surrounds, then I left Dan and Anusha to enjoy their open top ride to their reception at Whitfield House.

What a great day! Thank you for asking me to be your wedding photographer Dan and Anusha, I really enjoyed being part of your special day!

Below are a few of my favorite images from their day. You may also like to check out Dan and Anush’a on-line album.

I have known Renee from when we used to be zoo keepers together, I have also photographed lots of Renee’s friends wedding! So when told she me that her and Dereck were getting married and would like me be their wedding photographer I was so excited!

Dereck and Renee were joined by family and friends at 4pm on the 25th June for their wedding in the grounds of magnificent Whitfield House. I love taking photos at Whitfield House! It is an amazing, fully restored Federation Style House surrounded by lush tropical rainforest gardens. Renee looked stunning and was escorted down the aisle by her Dad and two gorgeous flowers girls.

Barbie Anderson performed a lovely ceremony which lasted around 25 minutes. After the ceremony I took a group photo of all of the guests with Renee and Dereck. This was followed by family photos with the bride and groom.

The grounds of Whitfield House are perfect for wedding photos with plenty of options and backgrounds. After the family photos we took a quick stroll around the gardens for a photo shoot with Renee and Dereck before the last disappearing rays of evening light fell behind the mountain.

Thank you Renee and Dereck for asking me to capture this special day in your lives and best wishes for a long and happy future together.

Below are a couple of my favorite images from Renee and Dereck’s wedding. You can see more from their wedding day at their on-line album.

Sarah and Ashley were married at the picturesque Great Barrier Reef Chapel at Edge Hill.

Sarah was the first bride in ages to arrive early! Only 10 minutes. Sarah and their daughter Paris, arrived in style…a 1960′s restored Buick Riviera. Very cool!

A lovely ceremony was performed by Barbie Anderson. Paris did a great job of delivering the rings very carefully and safely!

After the ceremony Sarah and Ashley joined their guests in the courtyard outside for champagne and photos!

I couldn’t resist taking some photos of Sarah and Ashley in front of the chapel before we headed down to  The Pier for some waterside shots. A half hour wander around the Esplanade and out to the Pier and we were all done in time for Sarah and Ashley to join their guests at Salt restaurant for their reception.

Thank you for having me as your photographer Sarah and Ashley! Below are some of my favs from the day. You can check out more of Sarah and Ashley’s photos at their on-line album.
