Take a great couple, put them in a gorgeous location, surround them with amazing family and friends… and you’re simply bound to have an incredible day. And that’s exactly what Rebecca and Liam’s wedding day was… incredible! The boys were all getting ready at Sunrise House on the Fig Tree property, while the girls were preparing for the big down in the heart of Byron Bay. The ceremony and reception both took place at Fig Tree Restaurant & Rooms, and as usual, they did an amazing job. Once the sun had set, the outdoor dining area looked better than I have ever seen it before! As a photographer, one of the things I love most about shooting at Fig Tree is not only all the gorgeous locations on site, but it is also just a few minutes away from a number of other great locations. We shot in several offsite spots and were only gone for an hour or so. The guests were having so much fun I don’t think they even realised we’d gone!
Josh Boots and the guys from NCE entertained the guests with great live acoustic tunes throughout the afternoon and all the latest tunes on the dancefloor all through the night.

There are some gorgeous little nooks’n’crannies hidden away in the countryside around Byron Bay. For Tess & Tim’s engagement session, we started with a stroll around Tallow Creek, stepping off the general pathway anytime something interesting caught our eye. It’s such a beautiful area it was hard to not to spend all our time off the track. Next we headed off to Broken Head for some fun around the rocks and a splash in the ocean while the sun sank behind the horizon and left us with a sublime backdrop for the couple’s shoot.

Sarah and Jordan were married amongst family and friends at Byron Bay’s popular Fig Tree Restaurant. It was a glorious day in this part of the world and every element of the wedding was thought out and executed to perfection. The gents were all looking very dapper and the ladies very elegant in their beautiful gowns. There were tears aplenty during the ceremony and an abundance of laughter during the rest of the day. This was the coming together of two New Zealand families and so there were touches of Maori tradition throughout the day… including a traditional haka initiated by the bride’s brother.

Some people refer to crepuscular rays of light as the ‘fingers of God’, and well, if that’s the case, these guys received an almighty high-five on their wedding day. The view of the sunset from the Byron Bay lighthouse was simply spectacular, as was the rest of Felicity and Steve’s magical day.
The couple both prepared for the big event at nearby hotel rooms in Byron and the ceremony and reception took place at The Byron Bay Surf Club. With around 125 guests, the Surf Club is one of the few venues in Byron that can cater for a crowd that size and I have never seen it look better than it did on this day. Pip from Byron Audio did an incredible job with the styling and the team from Fig Tree Restaurant ensured the meals were amazing and the general running of the day was as smooth as silk.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue… Renee had everything checked off in her preparations, the most impressive of which was ‘something old’. Tom’s family have had a small bluebird hairpin in the family for generations and Renee was the eighteenth bride to wear it down the aisle. I think that’s incredible and I’m sure she won’t be the last bride to feature this pin in their wedding attire.
Renee and Tom’s ceremony and reception were held at Byron Bay’s popular Fig Tree Restaurant & Rooms. As usual the team at Fig Tree did an amazing job ensuring the entire day ran without a glitch.
I hope you guys have had a ball in Fiji. I look forward to catching up soon.
