Catrin and Philip were married on a crazy windy afternoon in October, in front of an intimate crowd of their best friends and family members. It was so very special. Exquisitely choreographed, beautifully executed, full of thoughtfully subtle details and with a heavy focus on the people most important to the couple – most of whom had flown in from far flung locations including Paris, Canada, New York, Sydney and central NSW…. – it was a joy to photograph all that joy! Everyone was elated to be there, and the love and affection they had for the couple showed in the joyful tears, hugs and laughter that went on all afternoon and evening. Happily the wind dropped with the sun and the still, warm evening was simply perfect.
Philip and Catrin are big fans of reportage-style wedding photojournalism and they asked me to be as subtle and unintrusive as possible – which suited me just fine – I enjoyed cruising around being as invisible as possible yet being in the thick of it all.
Here’s the feedback (unashamed self-promo plug lovely testimonial!):
“These are completely fabulous – we are absolutely delighted with the moments and the mood you have captured. We had the loveliest time looking through them last night thank you so much. (…) Thank you again for being so wonderful on the day. You were everywhere and nowhere and just fitted in so perfectly to our wedding.”
Excitingly, Cosmopolitan Bride has expressed an interest in featuring the wedding in an upcoming issue.
Catrin asked me to make up 24 Blurb photo books of the wedding for them to give to their guests for Christmas gifts. Such a lovely idea!
The catering was done by Port Douglas catering, in their usual splendid style. The wedding celebrant was the very lovely Sarah Woods, we met up again 3 days later at a beautiful, simple marriage elopement I photographed and she officiated up on Cow Bay Beach. Photos from that one will be up soon.
I know, I know! This is a very photo heavy post, but hey – I wanted to share so many of these gorgeous pics. Sit back and enjoy the rest of my oversized collection!

Absolutely fabulous wedding coverage, Martine. I expect nothing less, of course! I’m a sucker for babies, I just love that shot of the baby in the bath! Divine. Catrin & Philip must be thrilled with their photos!
