Friday in Yamba was wet and windy and far from the ideal imagined for this couple's beachside wedding. Thankfully Saturday saw the clouds clear and the wind drop, as the blue skies moved in and the sun shone down for Grant & Tanya's beautiful ceremony.

Grant and his groomsmen spent the morning creating an aisle of cairns for the ceremony at Yamba's Convent Beach.

Their love for life and adventure seems to only be surpassed by their love for each other.
