My first wedding for 2010! Gary and Adele came all the way from the UK to be married in the rainforest of Tropical North Queensland. It was just the two of them. A very romantic way to tie the knot!
The location they chose was the lush, rainforest setting of Silky Oaks Lodge near Port Douglas.
It had rained quite a lot leading up to their wedding day, in fact the day before, Tropical Cyclone Olga crossed the coast just north of Port Douglas! As usual, after a cyclone, the weather came out nice and sunny! It stopped raining and everything had a wonderful washed clean look to it.
The ceremony was performed by Peter Santarosa at 4pm on the deck overlooking the crystal clear and fast flowing Mossman River.
After the ceremony we headed to the pool for some photos and then took the timber stair case down to the river bank.
Silky Oaks is the perfect place to be married. The surrounding rainforest and river make the perfect backdrop for photos.
I left Adele and Gary enjoying a drink at the bar before sitting down to a delicious wedding dinner on the deck that evening.
Thank you for asking me to be your photographer Adele and Gary, it was my pleasure and I wish you all the best for a long and happy future together.
Below are a couple of images from the afternoon. You can also view Gary and Adele’s album on-line.
