Maleny Wedding

Today Ben and I headed up to Maleny to shoot Nathan and Adele's wedding.

Rod & Mary (Ben's parents) kindly offered to mind the kids for the night, so we're going to stay up at Maleny Views Cottage resort. This is also where the ceremony is being held and then we're just walking down to The Terrace of Maleny Restaurant.

We arrived about 12.30pm and were trying for find somewhere local to have some lunch, but they were either expensive restaurants or not open, so we had to fly down to Maleny town centre for a hamburger.

We raced back to start shooting at 2pm, but the girls were about 20 minutes late, but we still managed to get some nice with the girls before going to the ceremony to meet the boys.

The ceremony was lovely - they got married in a balinese gazebo and then we took some photos around the property before going to Mary Caincross drive to take some location shots. I think I like taking location shots the most. It was starting to get quite cool around 5.30pm, so we headed back the reception, took the mock cake photo and venue shot, dumped the camera gear in our room and raced back to join in the reception.

We had a lovely meal and a table of great (young - ok our age) people. There were about 11 or 12 at our table. We all finished up around 10.30pm and then headed back to our cabins.

The cabins were very nice with a spa bath and fireplace. It wasn't too cold but the winds were full on, there were even reports of damaging winds!!!
