Kristyn & Mark’s Aanuka Beach Resort Wedding
And here it is… the wedding of Kristen and Mark!
You guys could not have asked for a better day, the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, the temperature was perfect and there was not even any wind at the beach. It actually doesn’t get any better, and Kristen and Mark had it for their day!
The wedding was held at the beautiful Aanuka Beach Resort in Coffs Harbour, everything from the rooms that our bridal party got ready in, to the ceremony and the reception was there, no surprise really as the facilities are excellent, the grounds beautifully kept and the beach only a couple of minutes walk away.
I started with Mark and his groomsmen, doing a few photos then just nearby to the girls room. Kristen looked stunning in her dress, and Mark didn’t scrub up too bad either!
Sam from ‘Married by Sam’ was the celebrant for the wedding, and did an awesome job as usual, she always is just so happy! And that rubs off on everyone else! The ceremony was held on the lawn overlooking the beach, a very nice outlook, with a real tropical feel, yep, we’re certainly getting into the warmer months now!
Family photos were a breeze as all the guests were great, and before we knew it, it was time for the formal photo shoot. So after a few snacks we made use of the lawns, gardens and bridge before heading to the beach where some of my favourite shots are.
The reception was beautifully decorated by Special Occasions, it had a really nice and intimate feel about it, and the layout was very nice. We put up a slideshow of some of the days photos, speeches, cake cut, bouquet and garter toss and the first dance. After that it was then my time to head home.
I had a great time at your wedding Kristen and Mark, thanks so much for having me!
