Elke & Jarrad's Bohemian Port Pirie Wedding

Elke and Jarrad’s wedding was stunningly beautiful and unique, and not just because of the dust storm that blew through on an abnormally hot October day creating a sky full of glowing warmth. The effort they both put into turning the backyard of their home into a relaxed, colourful and boho space was worth every second. That effort mixed with some amazing style (I mean, just check out how gorgeous Elke’s dress is and how cool Jarrad’s suit is!) created a dream wedding. Teepees, delicious food, plentiful drinks, colourful and welcoming decor and all surrounded by the love of family and friends. What a day! Thank you so much for having me capture it for you!

Congratulations Elke & Jarrad!! xo

Sally & Luke's Country Loxton Wedding
Sally & Luke's Country Loxton Wedding

This wedding was a vibe. I absolutely loved hanging out with Sally and Luke at their beautiful family property in Loxton with lovely red earth, vines for miles, and hours of fun. Their day had all of the good things (making for great photo opportunities) from confetti exits (from the ceremony) to sparkler entries (for the first dance), and plenty of champagne sprays. The day was elegant and beautiful, but also relaxed and a fun party for everyone that they loved to celebrate and have a wonderful time.

What a gorgeous wedding. Georgia & Levi married with so many loved ones surrounding them at their church before heading to the beyond-beautiful Inglewood Inn for a night full of dancing, music, and perhaps even a blow-up T-rex suit. Photos were a big part of the day (which I always love) taking place where we took their engagement portraits in Highbury (check out those here x) as well as in the rolling rocky fields in which Inglewood Inn is nestled.

What a day this was! Certainly not one to forget. And not just because it was beautifully styled, at an amazing venue with awesome people. The weather was intense!

Lightning creating an epic view in the distance for couple photos, and rain blanketing the marquee and reception as everyone danced the night away. It was a relaxed day with chilled out vibes. Just two people in love, showing those they love what they love! Boho styling, pizza, gelato, partying and more.
