Catherine & Nathan, A Port Douglas Wedding

Posted by Shaun on April 19th, 2010

Catherine & Nathan had an intimate ceremony on the grounds of Bale resort. Just a few family members were present,   including their special little girl , Alana Joy as their flower (eating) girl. The lead up to the ceremony was really calm with dads classical music an interesting soundtrack to photograph the bridal prep’ to. Not my usual choice of music but I liked it, felt like I was in a movie hahaha.

The ceremony was a very personal one, and  very special to photograph.

Honestly, sometimes when photographing a ceremony, although sensitive to it, you can find yourself just going about your business, getting the job done, lines, light,composition, color. Other times you get dragged in and really get a feel for the couple and their family and it can be a pretty full on experience. This was one of those times.( A bit dramatic I know, but true.)

Afterwards we went for a casual walk around the resort for some natural pics, and then jumped in the car to head out to the sugar cane fields. Nathan had seen some shots on my site that he liked so I took them out to the same spot for a bit of a play.

Thanks very much guys. I had a great day.
