Jeff and Jodie were married at 3pm at the Blue Horizon Chapel at the Hilton Cairns on the 4th December. What a perfect day for a wedding! Blue skies, no rain and lots of sunshine!

Jodie looked absolutely stunning! Jeff wasn’t allowed to look out the window of the Chapel as Jodie was walked in by her Dad. Jodie and Jeff’s ceremony was performed by Leisel Pisani from Our Ceremony and included a naming ceremony for their gorgeous little girl, Lara.

A group photo on the grass outside the chapel followed the ceremony then we all moved indoors to take the family photos in the cool of the air conditioning! The foyer of the Hilton was a lovely cool location with a gigantic Christmas tree and a great big funky lounge to take the photos on! Just as we finished taking the photos Robert from Cairns Luxury Limousines arrived with the Superstretch limousine to whisk Jodie and Jeff away to Palm Cove for their photo session and reception at Paradise Palms.

When they arrived, Jeff and Jodie transferred from the stretch limo into the waiting tiny little golf buggies! We all piled into the other buggies and took a spin around the golf course, shooting photos along the way. My favorite location at the Paradise Palms Golf course is always the stone bridge. Some photos there and on the other side of the course and we were back right on time for the start of the reception.

I couldn’t resist taking a photo of Jodie and Jeff’s really cool cake! Another masterpiece by Leanne Rosetto!

Below are a few of my favorite images from Jodie and Jeff’s wedding day. You might also like to have a look at their on-line album of photos.

Thank you for asking me to capture this special day for you Jodie and Jeff. It was my pleasure and lot of fun too!

Emma and Rowan’s wedding was held at Paradise Palms Resort and Country Club at Palm Cove. I met Emma and Rowan at Sherry and Brent’s wedding in August. Rowan was bestman for Brent. Brent and Sherry were both in Emma and Rowan bridal party.

I arrived to start Emma’s getting ready photos at 2pm. The girls were all dressed looking lovely and relaxed and ready to go when I got there. Emma’s Mum did a quick ironing job on the wedding dress before the girls helped her to put it on. Followed by shoes and jewellery. All dressed and ready to go, Emma looked gorgeous! I took some photos of Emma on her own and then with the girls and her Mum, Dad and two brothers. Angie, the wedding co-ordinator, called about an hour before the ceremony to let Emma know that, due to rain, the ceremony would have to be held undercover upstairs on the balcony inside the club house. It was disappointing to have the ceremony inside but with hindsight a good idea as we would have gotten quite wet if it had have been held outside!

Friends and family gathered to witness the marriage of Emma and Rowan in a lovely ceremony performed by celebrant Gaye Dean. Emma’s brother read a poem to them, they exchanged rings and then they were husband and wife! After the ceremony the paper work was completed and then everyone moved outside to the forecourt entrance of the club house. It is a large undercover area out of the weather and a perfect place for a group photo. We continued on with the family and friends photos before starting on the bridal party photo shoot. By this time it was bucketing down with rain. Angie had arranged for the golf carts to take us around the golf course, but as there were no golf umbrella’s available to keep the entire bridal party dry, we took some photos around the entrance and inside the foyer until the rain eased. Heavy rain is always a challenge for a wedding photographer to find suitable indoor photo locations with the right lighting and backgrounds. I met the challenge and I love the photo of Emma and Rowan in silhouette at the top of the stair case!

We did manage to get out onto the golf course for a few quick shots on the stone bridge before the rain arrived again! I took some photos of Emma and Rowan’s reception room, their wedding cake and a mock cake cutting before I left them to get on with celebrating their wedding day with family and friends.

Thank you for asking me to be your wedding photographer Emma and Rowan, it was my pleasure!

Olivia and Ivan eloped from chilli Tasmania to be married beachfront at tropical Palm Cove.

When they arrived the day before it was bucketing with rain! The afternoon of their wedding the sun came out and we had lovely blue skies! Phew!

Olivia’s sister Jenny, came up from Townsville to witness the marriage. She also read a lovely poem at the ceremony, which was performed by Vivian Reid.

After the ceremony we went for a walk along the palm tree lined Esplanade in front of Angsana Resort, taking photos as we went. From there, we headed down to the jetty at the Northern end of Palm Cove beach.

We walked along the beach and explored around the rocky outcrop. Once Olivia and Ivan had worked up sufficient sweat climbing up and down and over the rocks, it was time to TRASH the dress! Olivia wanted to do this from the start and it was fun! The 15 knot breeze washed up some nice big waves to crash over them as I had them rolling around on the beach at the low tide mark! Before long they were both soaked through, covered in sand and enjoying the cool water!

I headed off shortly after, leaving them to put their sopping wet wedding clothes into a garbage bag and don some fresh attire for their evening dinner of celebration in town.

Thank you for being brave enough to “TRASH” , Olivia and Ivan! It was fun! It was also my pleasure to photograph your wedding and Trash session, so thank you for asking me! Below are a few of my favorites from the day. Check out their on-line album to see the rest of Olivia and Ivan’s photos from their wedding day.

Kristin and Sascha came all the way from Germany to be married on the beach at Palm Cove. The weather in the few days before their wedding was very ordinary with lots of wind and rain!

The location they chose for their ceremony was at the southern end of Palm Cove beach along the palm lined esplanade in front of the Angsana Resort. Wayne Rees performed a fabulous ceremony and the weather improved 100%! It was still windy but we had blue skies and no rain!

A lovely romantic and intimate ceremony, Kristin and Sascha’s wedding was attended by two guests. Kristin’s friend Lusanne has been in Australia from Germany studying and Martin, their travel agent from Germany, who happened to be holidaying in Cairns with his family at the time! Very personalised service from a travel agent I must say!

After the ceremony Wayne cracked open the sparkling wine to celebrate their marriage! We then went for a walk along the beach and the palm tree avenue to take some photos of Kristin and Sascha. We then decided to head down to the northern end of the beach to the jetty to do some shots down there.

The photo session over I left Kristin and Sascha with Lusanne to get themselves down to the Palm Cove beach webcam to wave to their families in Germany!

I enjoyed photographing your wedding Kristin and Sascha and wish you all the best for the future.

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!
