Palm Cove Wedding Photography & Videography

The Village of Palm Cove in Tropical North Queensland provides a naturally beautiful and romantic backdrop perfectly created by nature, and naturally provides the canvas for spectacular wedding photographs and videos.

The tropical sandy Beach with the clear azure waters of the Coral Sea, Island dotted horizon and swaying palm trees creates an exotic and romantic scene to celebrate your marriage.

Many wedding photographs are taken on the charming Palm Cove Jetty which stretches far into the Coral Sea with Double Island and Haycock Island in the distance.

The lush green rainforest which fringes the shores of the Great Barrier Reef at Palm Cove compliments the beautiful sandy beach and creates wedding shots that are tropically stunning.

There are unlimited creative options available for beautiful wedding photographs in the Palm Cove area and professional wedding photographers will be able to suggest great photographic locations depending on your style, theme and requests.

hen choosing a professional wedding photographer you are paying for someone to capture your special day and ensure every shot looks fabulous and captures the brilliance and essence of your wedding day.

Every single aspect of your wedding day should be captured in your photos, from the flower girl, bridesmaids and groomsmen to the cake, food and flowers; and of course your special friends and family.

The more of your special day caught on film the more the memories you will have to cherish as the years you will share together roll on.

Choosing the perfect wedding photographer can be stressful but by following some important criteria your decision can be made much easier.

The experience level of your wedding photographer or videographer is often an important consideration.

If they have covered weddings in Palm Cove then they will be able to provide you both with some samples of previous work, references, different suggestions for photographic locations and will most certainly have wet weather options in case of adverse weather conditions.

Discuss with your potential wedding photographer what styles and themes you are wishing to project in your wedding photos. Do you want your photos to look exotic, classic, formal or candid?

Would you prefer all color photographs or a mixture of color, black and white and sepia? Generally speaking it is best to have a mixture of all three photographic types.

Color photos are able to capture the vibrancy and excitement of your wedding day, black and white photos expose a classic look and sepia pictures are very romantic.

The personality and chemistry you feel with your wedding photographer can encourage trust and communication. If you get along with your photographer it will be easier to understand each other and in turn make it easier to finalise the tone and essence of your wedding photos creating a stress free more enjoyable experience where you cannot wait to see the results.

Finding out the different package options, delivery method, digital options and price range are other details to consider. How would you like your wedding pictures displayed to share with your friends and family?

Will you want thank-you cards, photo albums, bridal portraits, photo CDs? Most wedding photographers today use digital images and can email you the prints so you can download them and email them to your wedding guests.

When deciding on your wedding photos you should find out what picture sizes are available and how soon after the wedding they will be ready.

Choosing a wedding portrait package that fits your budget is important; enquiring if the photographers travel expenses are included in this rate is also suggested.

The more money you spend on photographs the more assurance you can feel that you will receive a professional experience with high quality photos.

After the wedding is over these are a few things of the precious things that remain as keepsakes; the better the photos are the more clarity, expression and feelings your photos will provoke year after year.

You may also want to hire a professional videographer to capture a higher dimensional keepsake of your wedding day. By videotaping your special day, you will be able to relive the details over and over again and perhaps be able to view events and moments that you missed out on.

Not only will you have in depth images but you can capture irreplaceable details such as the beautiful wedding music, the vows between you and your partner, the speeches by friends and family and the distinct sounds that make Palm Cove weddings unique such as the waves lapping the sandy beach and the tropical birds chirping in the distance.

Ten years down the track you will treasure sights such as grandparents, distant friends and relatives and young children; these things may become more important to you then the actual footage of yourself on your wedding day.

Don’t make the mistake of hiring one of your wedding guests to film your special day. You may be very disappointed with the amateur job and later wish that you had hired a professional.

The pressure of creating the perfect video may also be very high for your wedding guest and will take away from their enjoyment of the day.

The same criteria used to select a photographer can be used when choosing your videographer; a few more important points should also be applied.

Make sure your videographer is familiar with the site of your wedding ceremony, if not have them inspect it beforehand so they can plan the shots, sounds and lighting.

When reviewing previous work done by your videographer pay special attention to the sound and picture clarity. Discuss with your videographer the shots that you would like included in the video and discuss the possibility of incorporating a sound track and photographic montage of you and your partners lives before and after you met.

Wedding videos are excellent gifts for wedding guests and for those unable to attend the wedding ceremony and reception. Keep in mind good wedding videographers book up very quickly so if you are planning on tying the knot at a busy time of the year or on a Saturday make sure you book well in advance.

Make sure your Palm Cove accommodation is close to where you are having your wedding photographs so you can go to your apartment and touch up your make up or change your outfits for the next photo shoot.
