Post-Wedding Couple Portraits in the Adelaide Hills
Kristine and Marti’s post-wedding couple portraits took us from Mount Barker to Bridgewater Mill, with piggybacks, gorgeous old stone buildings and plenty of laughs along the way. And somehow, we managed to find two tunnels!
Natural Family Portraits in Adelaide
Sharon and Tom’s family portraits in Adelaide started at home, dogs included, before we headed to the park for a play. Shoulder rides, upside-down grins and three generations together.

Enna & Freddy’s Colourful Sinclair’s Gully Wedding
Enna and Freddy’s wedding at Sinclair’s Gully in Norton Summit was sweet, joyful and gloriously colourful. Set beneath the gums in the Adelaide Hills, their ceremony was framed by the most incredible florals in vivid pink, coral, peach and orange. They looked spectacular against the soft green bushland—and somehow made the whole woodland setting feel even more alive. From Freddy’s emotional reaction as Enna arrived to their triumphant just-married celebration, there was so much genuine happiness to photograph.

Emily & Nathan’s Laidback Templeton on Murray Wedding
There was something immediately special about Emily and Nathan’s wedding at Templeton on Murray. Set among the gardens and native bushland of the Riverland, their day felt beautifully relaxed from the very beginning—less about fuss and formality, and more about gathering all their favourite people in one place. They were married overlooking the Murray River, surrounded by wild native flowers, huge gums and even a few curious alpacas wandering nearby.
A Colourful McLaren Vale Wedding at Hastwell & Lightfoot Winery
If you need proof that a wedding can feel deeply meaningful without being overly formal, Beth and Imti’s colourful celebration at Hastwell & Lightfoot Winery is it. There was confetti, incredible food, golden-hour portraits, one truly next-level dessert table and a very enthusiastic dance floor. But more than anything, this day was about people. With many guests travelling from Sydney to celebrate with them, Beth and Imti planned a relaxed McLaren Vale wedding that gave them as much time as possible with the people they loved. And those people brought big friend-group energy.
Georgia & Lachie’s Ayers House Wedding in Adelaide
Georgia and Lachie’s Ayers House wedding in Adelaide was a beautiful mix of classic elegance, heartfelt connection and wonderfully low-fuss joy. They described themselves as “two massive introverts and homebodies” stepping outside their comfort zones to celebrate with their favourite people – and honestly, that feeling came through in the loveliest way. Their ceremony was held in the Ballroom at Ayers House, with portraits at Carrick Hill before the ceremony, amid the slightest drizzle of rain.
