Cassandra and the girls got ready at Bert’s parents beautiful property at Redlynch. When I arrived the ladies from Cairns Wedding Make-up were just finishing off Cassandra’s make-up. The bridesmaids were good girls and all dressed and ready to go when I arrived! I took some photos of Cassandra’s gorgeous dress hanging on the door,  then her shoes, flowers and special jewellery. We then got stuck into the photo shoot. The girls helped Cass into her dress and with some quick sewing repairs she was ready in no time and looking absolutely stunning!

August the 21st was voting day for the federal election! Of course, we had to stop off at the poling booth for Cassandra to vote! Luckily there wasn’t a long line and we were straight in and out….phew!

The bridal car was a fully restored 1932 model Ford….very cool and very shiny!

I drove to the Botanic Gardens where the ceremony was being held. Bert and the boys were there mingling amongst the wedding guests. I took them aside for some quick photos before Cass and the girls arrived at 3pm.

Cassandra walked to the start of the red carpet on the arm of her Mum, Marion and was met at the carpet by her brother, who walked her the rest of the way to meet Bert. The red carpet resembled a work site with stop and go signs operated by cute little boys directing the traffic! A lovely ceremony was performed by Aphrodite Anderson and lasted around half an hour. After the ceremony Cass and Bert signed the paperwork then Aphrodite introduced them as Mr and Mrs!

We gathered all of the guests for a big group photo with the bride and groom This was followed by family and friends photos.

The Botanic Gardens is a great location for photos with lots of wonderful greenery, big trees and benches to sit on. We moved on from there back to Bert’s parents place. Bert’s Dad has restored several motorcycles and cars. He dragged 5 shiny and sparkling bikes out of the shed for the boys to sit on for photos.

From there it was a rush to continue on to the reception, via a paddock on the way for some photos before it got dark!

The reception was held at the AJ Hacket Bungee site in the rainforest at Smithfield. We did a cake cutting photo before the guests arrived, then I left the bridal party to enjoy an evening of fun and celebration.

I had a great day Cassandra and Bert, thank you for asking me to be your photographer! You are both very easy to photograph!
