Louise & Joel’s Sea Temple Wedding
Posted by Shaun on May 25th, 2010Port Douglas Wedding Photography – texture
Posted by Shaun on March 3rd, 2010I’ve been playing around with the idea of adding texture to images, It’s a bit of a fad at the moment. I like the effect but wouldn’t use it for every image. I’m a big believer in clean sharp images with bold but natural color. I think they have more of a timeless quality that dates better. In saying that this textured effect has a fine art painterly quality that when used well and to a couples style, can really make certain images shine. What do you think?

Cairns Wedding Photography – The wedding of Katie & Ross
Posted by Shaun on October 4th, 2009Yesterday I photographed the wedding of Katie & Ross. Ross is a Cairns local and Katie’s from somewhere in the US? Laid back but not at the sacrifice of a bit of cool Trinity beach wedding style. It’s great what you can do with a swimming pool, knocked up sign , some Bali flags, a guitar, a bunch of family and friends a pristine VW Kombi and the grace of Whitfield house. – Great wedding guys – Congrat’s !!

Port Douglas Weddings- The wedding of Melissa & Michael
Posted by Shaun on September 22nd, 2009Melissa and Michael were married in Port Douglas in April this year. They had their ceremony in the chapel in the grounds of the Sheraton Mirage and their reception by the pool. Great to work with, Melissa moved really naturally, the camera loved her and Michael was a solid man prop’,…. good confident grooms work Michael, job well done.
Like a lot of couples I’ve been booking lately they chose not to purchase an album package instead choosing a disk and print package. Here’s a few I plucked out and tinkered with a little just for the blog, there were HEEEAAAPS more. I ‘ll have to try to find some time in the summer to put a little studio display album together, It’ll be a cracker.

Your Port Douglas Wedding, St Mary’s by the Sea.
Posted by Shaun on August 21st, 2009
Blythe & Brad, st Mary's by the Sea, Port Douglas
So most of you guys are from somewhere other than Cairns or Port Douglas, infact about 95% of my brides and grooms are either interstate or international. Some of you have never even been to the area and won’t see it until you arrive just before your wedding. So I thought I’d be a good and helpful photographer and show you all around.
Probably the obvious place to start in regards to weddings would be St Mary’s by the Sea. This little historical non denominational chapel was first built in the 1880’s. It is an Icon of Port Douglas and is literally a husband and wife making machine. It’s sits perfectly in the beautiful Port Douglas parkland, at the mouth of the Dickson inlet with views looking north along the tropical coast towards Snapper Island and the Daintree rainforest and the amazing volcano like Thornton’s peak. (It’s not a Volcano but it looks like one).
The inside of the Chapel sits about 80-100 on beautiful silky oak pews has fantastic locally themed stain glass windows and an enormous glass altar window 
so you can be married overlooking the amazing coastal views I mentioned earlier. This window also gives THE BEST LIGHT at any chapel up here for wedding photography.
Anyway thats enough from me, Google it for more info’ here’s some images from the St Mary’s wedding ceremony of Blythe & Brad . If you have any questions please load them as a comment and I’ll get back to you .
AHEM… Best to check actual seating numbers with Rob or Jackie from ‘Port Douglas Weddings’ the chapels sole booking agents. They offer a bunch of packages with most things included that will suit just about everyone.. But you can still use Port Douglas Photography for your wedding images.
