Many couples choose Byron Bay as the location for their wedding day. With her world-class beaches, relaxed atmosphere and abundance of amazing wedding venues, it’s a pretty easy decision. Steph and Dylan’s reasoning though, is a little more unique than most. You see, both Steph and Dylan’s families both used to holiday in Byron Bay and on one occasion, many years ago, they happened to book cabins right next to one another. There was an instant attraction at first sight and the guys have been virtually inseparable ever since.
The wedding and reception were both held at Byron Bay’s incredibly popular Fig Tree Restaurant & Rooms. Master Celebrant Benjamin Carlyle injected his unique style of humour and groovy vibes into the ceremony and the guys from North Coast Entertainment kept everyone partying long into the night. The gorgeous Kombi was supplied by Alex at Coast 58.

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.

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.

Melissa and James’ wedding seemed as though it was going to be wet, wet, wet and for most of the day it was. There were glimpses of sunshine throughout the morning, followed by showers and then a little more sunshine. Fig Tree was set up for an outdoor ceremony and the staff were constantly keeping an eye on local radars to navigate the day through the weather. With just a short delay, the ceremony took place and for a while we couldn’t have asked for better conditions. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, birds were singing and circling overhead and there was even a rainbow shining over Byron Bay. It was simply beautiful!
The relief that the break in the weather provided, combined with the light-hearted, charismatic and often humorous delivery of the service by Benjamin Carlyle, meant that everyone’s spirits were lifted and much of the ceremony was spent in bouts of laughter.
The team at Fig Treet Restaurant & Rooms once again provided exceptional service throughout the entire day and the reception was an absolute blast!
