Twelve months of Bureau of Meteorology averages from the Cairns Aero station, with the popular wedding months in rose. Sunset times are worked out for the 15th of each month, daylight saving included.
Golden hour is when the best guest photos happen. Put the code where guests gather for it, not only on the tables.
Apple rates the iPhone for use between 0 and 35°C. January averages 32°C in Cairns, and a phone in full sun runs hotter than the air around it. Put the QR sign in the shade and tell guests the upload can wait until they are inside.

Popular months follow the national pattern in the Easy Weddings, 2025 Industry Report, adjusted for each city's mild or dry season.
The venue types couples book most in and around Cairns, and where the code goes at each, so guests see it when their phones are already out.
Sand and sea breeze: a weighted A-frame sign at the path down to the sand, never loose cards on chairs.
A common Cairns venue typeGuests stay for days. Add the code to the welcome pack so the pool and breakfast photos land in the album too.
A common Cairns venue typeLow light under the canopy and patchy signal. Guests shoot now and upload later, so say so on the sign.
A common Cairns venue typePhones stay down in the ceremony. Put the code on the order of service so guests have it ready for the walk out.
A common Cairns venue typeHumidity curls paper and fogs lenses. Laminated cards, and a line on the sign to wipe the lens before scanning.
A common Cairns venue typeCairns runs on AEST, UTC+10 all year, with no daylight saving. Most interstate guests fly into Cairns Airport (CNS).
Time zones and daylight saving dates: australia.gov.au, time zones and daylight saving. Daylight saving runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April in NSW, Victoria, the ACT, Tasmania and South Australia.
Cairns is a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, and some couples add a boat or island day for guests. Signal can drop on the water, so make sure guests know they can upload once they are back on land.
Walk from an air-conditioned room into a humid tropical garden and phone lenses fog over. A line on the welcome sign, 'wipe your lens, then scan', saves a lot of soft photos.
You can point a QR code at a shared folder for nothing. Plenty of Cairns couples try it first, so here is how it works and what to test before you print.
This walkthrough builds a QR code that points at a shared photo folder. It works. The catch shows up at the reception: a generic link opens a folder or an app sign-in, and that is where guests give up.
If you go this way, test the code on an iPhone and an Android before you print. Want the cards without the setup? Our free QR card designer makes print-ready table cards, and the QR code guide covers sizes and wording.

What couples planning a Cairns wedding ask about collecting guest photos, the weather and interstate guests.
Print one QR code on a welcome sign and a card for each table. Guests scan it with the phone camera, the album opens in the browser, and they pick photos and videos to upload. Nobody downloads an app or makes an account. With Pix Wedding the first 20 uploads are free, then A$67 once covers unlimited guests and uploads.
Couples favour May to October. Across those months the Bureau of Meteorology's Cairns Aero station averages highs of 26 to 30°C and 5 to 11 rain days a month, and sunset on the 15th falls between 5:51pm and 6:16pm. The wettest month in the long-term averages is February, with 16 rain days.
Apple rates the iPhone for use between 0 and 35°C. Cairns's warmest month, January, averages a 32°C high and the coolest, July, 26°C. In direct sun a phone heats up past the air temperature, so keep the QR sign in the shade. Photos stay on the phone, so guests can upload later either way.
Twice: on the wedding website before they travel, and by text the morning after the wedding. Time zones matter here. At 4pm in Cairns in October, it is 2:00pm in Perth. On Starter, uploads stay open for 3 months after the date, so nobody is rushed.
It is cheaper and greener, but wet. Cairns Aero averages about 16 rain days a month from January to March. Choose a venue with a covered ceremony option and put QR cards in the undercover area, as that is where guests will be taking photos.
Yes. Photos stay on their phones until they have signal, and the same link works on the boat ride home or back at the hotel. On Starter uploads stay open for 3 months, plenty for a week of holiday photos.
