The Wedding of Irene and Amadeus on 5th June 2009

Irene and Amadeus’ wedding was a nice surprise for me as they only booked the day before!

Family and friends of Amadeus and Irene traveled from Hong Kong to witness their  marriage on a deserted sand cay in the middle of the World heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.

Irene looked absolutely stunning in her white wedding dress trimmed with a cute little pink bow! Amadeus looked quite handsome too in his shirt and pants!

Whie we were waiting for our transfer to the Cay I took some photos of Irene and Amadeus with the old DC-3 aircraft parked near the GBR hangar. I love the old fashioned look of the photos with the plane!

Two helicopters from GBR Helicopters flown by Tim and Mick, transferred the wedding party, including myself and Kay Earl from Cairns Weddings, out to the Cay at 8.30am.

It was a glorious day to be married! A slight breeze, warm sunshine and a low tide.

Amadeus played his violin as Irene was walked by her parents to the place where they were to be married. Friends played the guitar and sang. What a wonderful serenade to enjoy all the way out there!

After the ceremony was over I took lots of photos of family and friends with the bride and groom. Once again I impressed everyone with my extensive language skills by counting to three in Mandarin! Which is about the number of minutes I would last in China using my extensive language skills!

Before departing for Cairns Mick took me up in the chopper for a couple of orbits above the Island to get some aerial shots. Amadeus and Irene’s friends had drawn a big heart in the sand for them to stand in for the photos!

Too many favorites, but here are just a few! Check out their on-line album for some more photos.
