Rachael and Ian were married on the 16th of May at Number one beach, Seal Rocks. The weather wasn’t too kind to the beach loving couple but after a bit of a delay due to rain the ceremony began. Rachael was walked down the aisle as light rain again began to fall but then eased up and stopped for pretty much the entire afternoon which I was pretty stoked about.
As the surfers rode the waves in the background and the sea gulls flew overhead the vows were exchanged and the couple were announced to the crowd as husband and wife.
With a short time frame to get the photos done we were on a bit of a mission and stayed on Number One beach for a while then moved to the headland that overlooks Boat Beach for a few more shots before we moved down to the big old boats on the beach which looked great with the moody skies. We then headed back to the Elizabeth beach surf club where the reception was being held but before the newlyweds greeted their guests we stayed on the beach and for some beautiful shots using some lanterns on the beach and also pulled out the big sparklers to get a few cool long exposure shots with the sparks flying off everywhere.
It was a great day Ian and Rachael and I wish you all the best for the future. Thank you for having me along to capture your memories of your special day. ~ Shane
