Jaymie and Matt's Fork in the Road, McLaren Vale Wedding

Jaymie and Matt had a low-key and casual wedding amongst family at the beautiful Fork in the Road in McLaren Vale. A day all about coming together and knowing that they’ll be spending the rest of their lives together. With a super fun vintage green car, gorgeous flower girls and relaxed vibes surrounded by vines. It was a great day.

Congratulations again Jaymie and Matt! x

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.
