Bali Hai Wedding of Susie & matt at Mossman Tropical North Queensland

A month back we were so privileged to photograph the wedding of Susie and Matt at Bali Hai at Mossman near Port Douglas. Bali Hai weddings provide picture perfect backdrops, and Susie and Matts wedding really showed the full glory of the beauty of Tropical North Queensland. Susie and Matt have never visited Tropical North Queensland let alone Bali Hai Mossman. They gambled and selected this fine region to exchange their vows from the coolness of the southern states. Bali Hai Mossman put on a show with their outdoor wedding, creating an atmosphere of happiness. After exchanging their vows amongst the shade at Bali Hai Mossman, we went to the local Cane field and water hole for their wedding pictorial. As the sun reached the horizon, we went back to Bali Hai Mossman and spent a lovely evening under the stars as photographed them as they danced the night away, tropical North Queensland style!

Port Douglas Wedding of Hayley and Lachlan at St Mary’s by the Sea Chapel

St Mary’s by the Sea Chapel is a stunning location for a beautiful wedding at Port Douglas, here in Tropical North Queensland. Hayley and Lachlan chose to be wed at St Mary’s by the Sea Chapel, where accompanied with guests who flew in from around Australia and the world, was the perfect spot to have an intimate wedding in tropical paradise. We had the pleasure of photographing the nervous groom and bride at their bridal preps before exchanging vows at the Port Douglas Chapel, as tears of joy and laughter filled the atmosphere. After a few group formal photos in front of St Mary’s by the Sea Chapel, we quickly headed towards the palm fringed Rex Smeal park where we began our bridal pictorial.  The party only had just begun when they were applauded into their reception at Port Douglas’ famous Salsa Bar and Grill restaurant. It was a pleasure capturing so many intimate moments of such fun loving people on an occasion that could only be described as beautiful! Here are some photos we took of our lovely couple during their special day….

Mefoto Cairns Photogarphy: Raising funds for Autism Queensland

Earlier this year we were privileged to be a part of a small committee of passionate like-minded people. We ran a charity event called “Save the Date – Wedding Expo”, an exhibition showcasing the wedding industry in Tropical North Queensland.

“Save the Date”, held at Brothers Leagues Club, proved to be a huge success, with over 1000 people walking through the door to visit FNQ’s finest wedding suppliers. 100% of the profits raised were donated to support local Autistic Children in Cairns.  The funds raised went directly to the Autism Queensland Centre of Excellence, located at Edmonton. Autism Queensland is a community based, not for profit, Incorporated Association.

We were delighted to raise $12,000 from the expo, money which funded the purchase of three state-of-the-art Smart Boards for AQ Cairns.  The Smart Boards will help assist children with ASD to refine and develop their skills, encouraging them to grow into the very gifted children we are blessed to have in our community. We were presented with

I would personally like to thank: Joanne Male (celebrant) for her passion and commitment to make a truly successful expo and for inviting us to be a part of her team, Chrissy Ratcliffe (celebrant) for her calm presence and for her willingness to always put others before herself, Nathan Hubbard (Fotofun Times) for making sure all the hard back-end work was done on time, and to my amazing wife Victoria (mefoto) for her selflessness in helping coordinate the expo, and for her unconditional love and support to help Rylan, our eldest child with ASD, get through life, one day at a time; your wisdom and courage is a true testament of life’s beauty in its most simplest form. You are not only an amazing mother but also an amazing human being!

On an end note: It’s not how much we can take, but the excitement of how much we can give, that makes us love and do what we do best! On behalf of the mefoto crew and the Jvar group of companies, we would like to thank all those that have supported and helped us through the years of being in business here in Tropical North Queensland. We choose to be a part of this amazing charitable event ‘save this date’ every year and dedicate our time as a small gesture to say thank you to you!

Hilton Cairns Wedding of Amylee & Ben in beautiful Tropical North Queensland

We shot a lovely wedding late last year of Amylee & Ben at the Hilton Cairns here in Tropical North Queensland. That day the 1st of December was not only a special day for them, but also happened to be Amylees birthday and out of shier coincidence happened to be the day both Amylee and Ben’s parents were married! The day was that significant we knew it was going to be stunning! Having previously shot their engagement photos on location at their farm a few months back, we knew this wedding was going to be a ripper! Our beautiful Bride Amylee sure loves the camera and made photographing here day not only a breeze but a lot of fun also. Over 100 guests arrived at the Hilton Chapel to witness these two beautiful people get married as the sun pierced from up above. The Hilton Chapel Cairns is one of our favourite spots to shoot here in Tropical North Queensland. After their beautiful Ceremony at the Hilton Chapel Cairns we walked around the Hilton Hotel to take a few photographs during their bridal pictorial. A fun bridal entourage made for a crazy afternoon away from Guests as it we effortlessly shot a great bunch of individuals. They then partied the night away at their reception where the Hilton Cairns provided a spectacular seating arrangement just what our beautiful couple wanted. Here are a few photos we captured for them on their very special day..

What an amazing day to photograph two beautiful people at a special place in the world we call our home, Port Douglas! Set amongst the famous palm fringed Rex Smeal Park, Louisa & Jarrod, in front of all their close friends and family who traveled from all over Australia, tied the knot. Port Douglas is famous for such beautiful weddings and it was no surprise that these two chose Rex Smeal Park and Salsa Bar and Grill for their wedding day, in the heart of Port Douglas. Coming form their busy life in the city, they made sure to kick back and relax for their wedding holiday at Port Douglas. Here are a few photos taken on their very special day…

Cairns Shangri-la wedding of Stephanie & Glen

We were honored to be a part of the beautiful wedding of Stephanie & Glen at the Shangri-la Cairns. A heavily over cast day never stopped the beautiful couple from exchanging their vows in front of their family and friends. Before their intimate reception at the Shangri-la Cairns, they celebrated their wedding at their local church at Innisfail. Tears of happiness filled the church as they committed to themselves by saying ‘i do’ in the eyes of God. As we headed off to their bridal pictorial, we headed to a local Cane field with the treat of rain eying our every move. Perfect for some epic wedding photos! After resting from the pictorial our lovely couple as well as their friends descended to the Shangri-la Cairns where a beautifully decorated reception venue awaited. We love the Shangri-la Cairns for beautifully set Weddings! Formalities soon followed along with dinner, before we knew it, everyone was partying the night away hitting the dance floor. Such a beautiful couple blessed with a beautiful wedding day!
