My very last wedding for 2011……..Debbie and David came all the way from the UK with their three gorgeous children to renew their vows on the beach outside Sea Temple Resort at Palm Cove. They had originally booked to have the ceremony on the Friday but the weather was pretty horrible with lots of heavy rain, so we all agreed to change the day to Saturday…New Year’s Eve!

Saturday was lovely and sunny with blue skies…phew! Jan Defferard performed the ceremony with Fran and David from Palm Cove weddings, along with Debbie and David’s children, acting as witnesses. Debbie looked stunning in her latte coloured wedding gown. She actually owns a bridal shop in the UK and so had the pick of dresses for her special day!

A fun photo shoot on the beach and around the resort followed the ceremony. It was a really lovely and fun afternoon. Congratulations to Debbie and David and thank you for asking me to be part of this special day for you all here in sunny North Queensland, it was my pleasure!

Below is a lovely photo of Debbie and David taken in front of the Resort.

Tash and Garth were joined by family and friends at the Sea Temple Resort at Palm Cove for their wedding on the 10th December. Tash looked gorgeous and happy as she walked down the aisle on the arm of her dad to meet Garth. The ceremony was performed by Phil Bignall from Tash and Garths’ local church.
It was a very hot day, actually around 35 degrees, so Tash and Garth did well to survive the heat dressed in all their wedding finery!
A group photo and then friends and family photos under the fans followed the ceremony, before Tash and Garth and I headed down to the beach for some photos.
We finished off at the jetty at Palm Cove, then I dropped Tash and Garth back to their reception at the Sea Temple.
Congratulations to Tash and Garth and thank you for asking me to be your wedding photographer….it was a fun afternoon!

Paula and Marty came from South Australia with their gorgeous little boy, Oliver to be married on the beach at Sea Temple Palm Cove last Friday. Once again we had great weather, with a slight breeze to keep us cool! The ceremony was at 3.30 with myself and Fay from Busy Bees Babysitting acting as witnesses, Wayne Rees did a fab job as usual!

A walk along the beach after the ceremony with Oliver dunking his feet in the ocean for some photos. We then headed down to the jetty at Palm Cove for some more photos by the sea. Back at Sea Temple, Paula talked Marty into a swim in the pool…in their wedding clothes! Other guests were delighted and entertained as the Bride and Groom enthusiastically plunged into the warm waters of the resort pool!

Congratulations to Marty and Paula and Oliver! Thank you for having me as your photographer, it was a fun afternoon! Here are a couple of favorites from Paul and Marty’s wedding.

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!
