Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron, BMYS to its members, is a trailer-boat and social club on the foreshore of Beaumaris Bay in bayside Melbourne, looking straight out over Port Phillip. The club was founded in 1959 and its members reclaimed about four acres from the sea to build the clubhouse in the early 1960s. Weddings use a waterfront lawn with a white timber arbour a few metres from the shoreline, and an upstairs reception room with a full-length balcony over the water that seats around 140.
Bec and Brent married and celebrated here, and we took their portraits along the sand at Half Moon Bay and Sandringham Beach, both a short drive up the coast. That mix is what makes BMYS work for photos: ceremony on the lawn with boats and water behind, a walk down to the pier, then back up to the balcony as the sun drops over the bay.
For Arielle and Darran it was the ceremony and reception venue; the day also took in Sandringham Beach in Sandringham.
