Heather & Lucy's Australia Day Celebrations
Heather & Lucy's Australia Day Celebrations
Heather & Lucy were one of the many couples affected by Covid-19, and with barely any notice at all their wedding plans were changed from an intimate gathering to the lockdown restriction of just 5 people total. But they made the most of it! And married at their close friends house, with tearfully beautiful videos from family and friends wishing them well on the deck and a game of cluedo to end the day. That was just reason 1 of 3 to celebrate!
Not being able to capture their wedding day due to the tight restrictions, I was very excited instead to be able to capture their Australia Day celebrations! A day to celebrate becoming Australian citizens, alongside a housewarming for their beautiful new house. And of course, being able to celebrate being Mrs and Mrs with loved ones. It was a really fun afternoon! With the perfect weather, beaming smiles all around and some great tunes.
Congrats, congrats, congrats to you two beautiful ladies!

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.
Amber and Darian’s elopement was intimate, romantic and fun. They shared their day with their parents and kids at Sincalir’s Gully Winery, surrounded by nature and the beautiful ghost gum forest. Allowing their kids to be themselves, and everyone to simply relax and enjoy the day.
Syjourn and Josh had a laid-back and intimate wedding in the sunken garden of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Their day was family oriented, non-traditional and no fuss. All about being stress free, feeling comfortable and getting married in front of their close family. A perfect little afternoon.
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.
This wedding was so fun and down to earth. It was a laid-back, cosy, simple, and meaningful day with everyone Ash and Oliver loved together to share it. Mount Lofty Range’s Vineyard has beautiful views of nature and a very warm and welcoming feel—perfect for the vibe of the day.
Hugh and Matthew’s wedding was very chill. It was a wonderful celebration before they jetted away to Europe for eight weeks (yes!). We hung out for some relaxed portraits around the Beresford grounds before they greeted guests together with warm and welcoming smiles all around. Their ceremony was full of heart, and the lunch to follow was just so good. A wedding done very right.
Jake & Abby’s elopement was intimate, easy and them. A gorgeous little ceremony down on the beach with their kids and closest family, followed by sunset portraits on the iconic Blanche Point Cliffs. The perfect little sunset beach elopement.
Sarah & Kain were excited to marry privately, with just the two of them, because it reflected how they are. All about intimacy and simplicity. A stress free day without pressure and gorgeous views looking out over Mount Osmond from a cute little tiny house. We were so lucky with a gorgeous Winter sunset as well. The perfect chilly evening.
Meg and Andy had an intimate and fun wedding at one of my favourite SA wedding venues - Templeton on Murray. A gorgeous spot right on the river with a very relaxed vibe. Their day was all about marrying their best friend, and spending a wonderulf day together.
Pok Him and May had a beautiful winery wedding at K1. An intimate and warm day joined by their close family and friends. The day began with a tea ceremony, ended with non-stop dancing and had plenty of heart-warming moments shared with loved ones in between. This is one to let the photos do the talking.
Skye and Dan’s wedding was very them—nothing forced or traditional—just a relaxed and casual day at a great restaurant. It was a family gathering that was just that little bit fancy, fun-filled, and full of plenty of laughs. The heart sunnies and kombi van adding that funky touch.
Tash & Des’ wedding was lovingly simple with thoughtful and personal touches, held in the intimate setting of Carrick Hill. A lovely garden wedding with beautiful florals, hertiage grounds to explore and lots of loved ones from near and far to share kind words and funky dance moves.
Lauren and Brent married in this field, and so it was very special for them to be able to come back and take family portraits here with their two little girls. Exploring the forest looking for wild flowers in the conservation park, and cuddling underneath the wedding tree in the paddock while horses looked on.
Maddie and Bryton were excited to finally say “I do” with their two closest people there to share the moment with them. Their elopement was simple and fun - just about the important stuff. None of the extras mattered to them. Sinclair’s gully provided a beautiful native scrub backdrop to their stunning copper suit and emerald green dress. It was a perfect moment that we were thrilled to be part of.

A relaxed little branding session at Summertown Studio in Summertown Park - one of my favourite spots for natural, down-to-earth business portraits. It has that lovely mix of clean light, soft textures and funky little corners, which makes it perfect for photos that feel professional yet approachable.
