Cyra and Ben

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the wedding of Cyra and Ben.

It was a beautiful day… almost hot actually! Which in itself is exciting, bring on the warmer weather!!

I started with a few shots of Ben and the boys getting ready to begin with, before they decided to have a game of pool and then I was off to Cyra’s house to do the bridal preperation shots. Cyra, Emma and Jalissa looked beautiful and who could forget our flower girl and of course the star of the show Seth (Cyras little brother, the page boy)!

After getting some shots of the girls, and Cyra with mum and dad I headed to the Grafton Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses for an 11 o’clock ceremony. Cyra’s little flower girl cried all the way down the aisle… yes it can be high pressure even for the little ones.

After the ceremony we hopped in the cars and headed to a property just outside of Grafton for some photos, we were able to escape the midday sun under a huge tree their which made for some fantastic shots. Our bridal party were so easy to work with, even though, like I said it was really hot, or maybe I’m just not used to having the warmer weather back…

We then drove along the highway to Coffs Harbour for the reception at the Deep Sea Fishing Club, near Gallows Beach. Cyra and Ben had the unique idea to ride Camels to the reception, a really cool idea!! We got out the cars, they got on the camels, and to everyones surprise they arrived on camelback. A nice touch!

We had an afternoon tea reception and cake cut, then Cyra and Ben along with myself headed out to get some last few shots along the beach and of the sunset.

Once done it was back to the reception for speeches and of course… dancing!

Had a great time Cyra and Ben, here’s a few pics for now, Enjoy your Honeymoon up Queensland!!
