Polly and Jimmy and their gorgeous little girl Annie came all the way from the cold of ACT to our warm sunny climate to have their wedding ceremony at the Sea Temple Resort and Spa at Palm Cove.

Polly looked stunning in her gown with her hair and make-up by Blush Hair and Make-up. Annie wore an emerald green dress and was very cute! Polly carried a very cool bouquet! Her friend Jessica made the bouquet from heaps of brooches and it was awesome! The best thing I have seen at a wedding for ages!

Polly and Jimmy’s parents and a few friends joined them for their ceremony performed by Leisel from Our Ceremony on the deck near the beach at Sea Temple. A group photo after the ceremony then a few couple shots with the bride and groom before we all piled into two stretch limo’s waiting for us outside the Resort. Rob and Peter from Cairns Luxury Limousines then drove us all down to the jetty at Palm Cove where we had a wander around the beach taking more photos of Polly and Jimmy and everyone else!

I had such a lovely afternoon! Thank you Polly and Jimmy for asking me to be your photographer! Below are some of my favorite shots from their wedding day. If you would like to see more please go to Polly and Jimmy’s on-line album.

What a stunning day it turned out to be for Samantha and Brendan last Wednesday! A small intimate ceremony, performed by Eloise Barker-Re and witnessed by close family and friends on the beach at Palm Cove. Samantha arrived with her Dad, glowing with happiness and excitement! After the ceremony we took some photos with family and friends and then Samantha and Brendan had a wander around the beach and clambered over the rocks while I burned up some pixels!

When we had finished the photo shoot everyone climbed aboard the Millaa Millaa bus for the return journey up the hill for the reception. Below are a few of my favorites from Brendan and Samantha’s wedding day. Check out their on-line album for more images from the day. Thank you for having me as your photographer Brendan and Samantha, it was a fun and relaxed afternoon!

Shirley and Oliver came all the way from very cold Germany to be married on Palm Cove Beach. It rained mostly the day before with storms in the morning, but by the afternoon it was absolutely glorious! We had a big blue sky, some fluffy white clouds and a slight breeze to keep us cool!

Wayne Rees performed the ceremony for Shirley and Oliver. Wayne’s daughter and I were witnesses to the marriage. Afterward a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate a toast to the newly married couple! The wine finished, we headed down to the beach for some photos with Shirley and Oliver. we also had a walk around the palm tree lines esplanade in front of Angsana Resort, then drove up to the Northern end of Palm Cove beach where we clambered around the rocks for some different and interesting backgrounds to the photos.

Thank you Shirley and Oliver for asking me to share and capture this special day in your lives, it was fun! Herzlichen Gluckwunsch an euch beide!

Below are a couple of my favorite images form Shirley and Oliver’s wedding day. You may like to view their on-line album to see some more!

Deb and Mark enjoyed a lovely small and intimate ceremony inside the Angsana Resort Chapel at Palm Cove.They were joined by four friends and two gorgeous little girls! One of them being their daughter, Charlotte. Charlotte is a happy, chatty and bouncy little girl and a joy to have around! She had two of Mark’s mates keeping her entertained on the beach while we took the photos!

Gayle Dean performed the marriage, which included a wine ceremony. After the ceremony we took assorted photos outside the chapel with Deb and Mark and their friends. Then we headed out to the Esplanade and the picturesque avenue of palm trees where we took some photos before moving down onto the beach.

Deb and Mark, thank you for asking me to be your photographer…it was a real pleasure! I enjoyed being part of this special day in your lives.

Natalie and Daniel chose to have their wedding ceremony and reception at Paradise Palms Resort and Country Club. It really is the perfect location with everything all in the one place.

Natalie and her sisters aka bridesmaids,  got ready at the Resort Hotel right next door to the club house. When I arrived at the room the girls were just about ready to go! They had been into Cairns to have their hair and make-up done by Blondies at their salon and were back in plenty of time. Stress levels were low and the girls were enjoying a glass of champagne, while Ally, the gorgeous and cheeky flower girl, contented herself with cartoons on the tele!

I took some photos of Nat’s dress, flowers, shoes and jewellery. Zoe and Tamsin helped Nat get into her dress. Natalie was stunning! Looking as though she had just stepped from the pages of a bridal magazine!  We got on with taking some photos of Nat, then Nat with all the girls. Nat’s parents arrived shortly after ready for photos with Nat. We finished in plenty of time for me to get over to the boys to take some shots of them before the girls arrived.

The past few weddings I have photographed at the golf course this year it has been raining and we have had to have the ceremony indoors. Not today….there were a few clouds hanging on top of the mountain but the sky was relatively clear. The ceremony was held outside under the timber, Bali style gazebo. Daniel and his brother, Scott were greeting their guest as they arrived. I took a few quick shots of them before the guests started to gather for the ceremony.

Natalie arrived in a golf cart escorted by her Dad. Zoe and Tamsin bought Ally along in another golf cart. The girls alighted and while we took a few quick photos Ally decided it might be nice to take the golf cart for a drive on her own! Luckily there was another golf cart in front of hers so she didn’t get far!

A lovely ceremony was performed by Vivian Reid, with a reading by Daniel’s sister. After the ceremony the paperwork was completed and Vivian introduced the new Mr and Mrs! Congratulations all round was followed by a group photo with all the guests and then individual family photos with Nat and Daniel.

Katie, the wedding supervisor, arranged some golf carts and a very helpful guide for us for the photo tour of the golf course. First stop was the 7th hole on top of the hill! The view from up there is pretty cool! We continued on around the course dodging golf players and their carts. We ended up back at the clubhouse in plenty of time for everyone to freshen up and get ready for the reception. That’s where I left Nat and Daniel to head up stairs to the celebrations and a great night ahead.

Thank you for having me as your photographer for this special day in your lives Natalie and Daniel. It was a lot of fun! You guys were all really easy to photograph! Below are some of my favorite images from the day. You can see some more at Natalie and Daniel’s on-line album.

Jemma and Brad and their 2 year old son Archie, were joined by family and friends from NSW for their wedding on Palm Cove beach  at 3pm last Saturday. The weather was perfect with a big blue sky and just a slight breeze to keep everyone nice cool! About time we got some good weather!

David and Fran from Palm Cove Weddings organised most of the wedding for Jemma and Brad. A lovely ceremony was performed by Gayle Dean. Archie was not as impressed with the ceremony as everyone else and so went for a walk, supervised by one of the guests, to check out the ocean!

After the ceremony we gathered all the guests for a group photo with Jemma and Brad with Double Island in the background. We then took some photos of Brad and Jemma with their families and friends before heading off down the beach to take some bridal party photos. We did some rock climbing and wave dodging and finished off with a nice walk along the water line.

Jemma and Brad were then joined by their guests to celebrate their marriage at The Casmar on The Esplanade at Palm Cove.

Below are a few of my favorite images from the day. You can view Jemma and Brad’s on-line album if you would like to see some more of their images.

Corinna and Cameron were married last Saturday at the picturesque Angsana Resort Chapel. As it has for the past 40 odd days without fail, it rained! Very unusual for this time of the year! It had all cleared up though by 2pm, just in time for Corinna’s arrival at the Chapel.

Corinna and the girls got ready at the Resort so it was just a short walk to the ceremony. The colour theme for the wedding was a stunning burnt orange colour teamed with black. An eye catching combination and very good for photos amongst the greenery of tropical North Queensland. Corinna and Cam’s little girl, Maddy, is 5 months old and was quite happy to be passed around and join in all the fun and games of a wedding! She was just too cute in her little white dress with an orange sash!

The ceremony was lovely and performed by Barry Waugh. ( I don’t think he plays cricket?)

After the ceremony we took photos with all the guests including a flower shower in front of the Chapel. Friends and family photos followed. A stroll along the avenue of palm trees next to the beach front for some fun shots of the guys and girls! Then we headed over to Paradise Palms Resort and Country Club, where the reception was held. Corinna had arranged for some golf buggies to be provided so we could have a zip around the golf course to take some photos.

When we arrived Angie and her assistant Katey were waiting for us, golf buggies all charged up and ready to go! Each couple grabbed a cart and away we went! First stop was the seventh hole! Definitely the most spectacular hole on the course, it is at the very top of the golf course and overlooks the entire property. Cam is a bit of a golf fanatic and Katey just happen to have some clubs for him to have a bash with! He couldn’t hide is disappointment when I told him we didn’t really have time for a round before the reception!

Last stop on the tour was the magnificent stone bridge, a must when taking photos at Paradise Palms!

Jennifer and MJ from MOD Videos were there to capture the day, always a pleasure to work with these guys.

Below are some of my favorite pics from the day….as you can see I had lots of favorites!

Corinna and Cam, thanks for asking me to be your photographer! It was heaps of fun! I love my job, when I get to spend the day doing what I love with wonderful people, their friends and family!

Finally! The sun was shining! Jacqui and Shaun could not have chosen a better day to be married! The weather was glorious and Paradise Palms Resort and Country Club at Palm Cove the perfect location. Due to a major golf tournament the ceremony was held on a balcony over looking the course, quite a speccy view I reckon!

I went to see Jacqui and the girls at the Casino in Cairns before the ceremony to photograph Jacqui getting ready. The Casino has fabulous rooms which make taking photos there a dream! Beautiful furnishings and lots of natural light spilling into the room. When I arrived Jacqui’s bridesmaids were all dressed and ready to go…well done girls! I took some photos of the dress, shoes and flowers, oh and the hot pink hand bag! The theme for Jacqui and Shaun’s wedding was black and hot pink, which are my logo colours, so I was all colour co-ordinated, dressed in black and pink and driving my black car with pink writing!

The girls helped Jacqui into her dress, then we took some more photos. Jacqui’s Mum and Dad arrived just in time to take some photos with their gorgeous daughter! Photos all done, I left the girls to relax and await their chariot. I drove straight Palm Cove to photograph Shaun and the boys.

Some photos on the golf course with the boys, then I let them get back to greeting the guests as they arrived. A great big, sexy, dark blue, stretched limousine delivered Jacqui and the girls to Paradise Palms right on time! Thanks to Robert and Natalie at Cairns Luxury Limousines!

Kay Earl performed a lovely ceremony and all went to plan, apart from a small wardrobe malfunction on the pageboys pants buckle right before the ceremony!

Jacqui’s Auntie as well as her sister Ashton both read great poems to Jacqui and Shaun.

After the ceremony all the guests gathered below the balcony for a group photo with the bride and groom, followed by family and friends photos.

The entire bridal party were then escorted around the golf course in zippy little golf buggies for some photo opportunities. A quick dash back to the super stretch and a short drive to Palm Cove beach and jetty for some more photos. We just caught the last fading pink light from the sunset before I left everyone brushing the sand from their feet before climbing back into the luxury of the C300 for the trip back to Cairns for the reception at Brother’s Leagues Club.

I love my job! Thanks for having me as your photographer Jacqui and Shaun, it was cool fun!
