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.

Kari-Lee and Luke came to Cairns to get married on Palm Cove Beach. It was a glorious day! Eloise Barker-Re performed the ceremony and Kari-Lee’s brother Lachlan gave her away.

Thank you for having me photograph this special day for you Kari-Lee and Luke, it was my pleasure!
Last Saturday Scott and Emma were joined by their gorgeous baby girl and around 24 guests to be married over looking Palm Cove at luxurious Sapphire Ridge.
It had rained most of the day. The ceremony was to be held at 3pm on the timber deck with the ocean as a beautiful backdrop, but due to the rain it was decided to have it undercover inside the house. Luckily, Emma was running a little, as by 3.30 the sun was shining, the deck was quickly mopped and all was prepared for the ceremony on the deck!
Scott’s best-man sang and played guitar as Emma arrived on the arm of her Dad, who had traveled all the way from England! Leisel from Our Ceremony performed a lovely ceremony which included a reading from Scott’s Mum Deb. A group photo and family photos with the bride and groom on the deck followed the ceremony. The house is surrounded by rainforest and lovely gardens, so we took some photos around there and then headed down to Palm Cove beach for some more photos.
Thank you for asking me to share and capture this special day in your lives Scott and Emma, it was heaps of fun!
Below is a video of highlights from Scott and Emma’s wedding day.
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!
