Annalisa & Mick's Rustic Sinclair's Gully Wedding
When you’re told the theme “Irish tea party elopes with the Australian Outback”, then you know you’re in for something special! Annalisa & Mick’s wedding wasn’t just perfectly styled with gorgeous vintage & rustics touches, it was also perfectly relaxed with warm and kind people all celebrating a beautiful wedding, followed with some delicious Aussie BBQ!
Sara & Pete's Uniquely Gorgeous North Adelaide Wedding
Sara & Pete’s wedding is one I’ve been looking forward to. With Sara a photographer and Peter a musician, they were both keen on having a very relaxed and unique wedding with creative photography.
Stacey & Bradly's gorgeous bridal portraits with horses at sunset xx
After capturing Stacey & Bradly’s wedding recently, I was very excited to catch up with them and their two horses at their beautiful Two Wells property. It’s easy to see how horses get a representation for being such magnificent and beautiful animals. Blaze and Izzie both fit this magnificent and beautiful description, but on top of that, they had the biggest personalities too!
Huai & Coral's Pre-Wedding Portraits around Adelaide
On Friday we had a beautifully sunny day! I was lucky enough to spend the sunshine filled afternoon with Huai & Coral, capturing some gorgeous pre-wedding portraits all across Adelaide, from the CBD to the beach. Huai & Coral are such a sweet couple, which made the portrait session an absolute dream. After Tallora from Mobile Makeovers Australia worked her magic, we started in the Adelaide Himeji Gardens. Moving through the city from North Terrace to the River Torrens and North Adelaide. Talking a leisurely walk on Henley Beach at sunset, and finishing up back in the city near Victoria Square for some city night portraits by the fountain.
Stacey & Bradly's Chic Country Wedding
Friday was my first wedding for the Spring, and it was gorgeous! Bradly & Stacey had a very chic country style wedding, full of beautiful rustic touches. I met the guys at their home in two wells, looking great in their Akubras and "wrangler" shirts! During a few quick portraits in the paddock Bradly's super friendly horse was very helpful in taking photos, nudging my face and cameras and keeping a close eye on the shots...
Eryn & Callum's Vintage Rock'n'Roll Inspired Wedding
What a beautiful day Saturday was! The very last Winter Saturday for the year, and it was full of warm sunshine and love as Eryn and Callum tied the knot. Eryn and her bridesmaids Kelly, Richanda and Sam did such an amazing job styling the wedding with a Vintage Rock'n'Roll inspired theme. Everyone looked proper dapper, but I can't help but especially mention how stunning Eryn looked in her ModCloth wedding dress with pops of red in her shoes, flowers and perfect lipstick.
Peter & Kirsty's Port Willunga Beach Engagement Portraits
If it weren't for the coolness in the air, you wouldn't have believed that it was Winter on Sunday. The sun shone brightly with hints that Spring is definitely making its way to us. I had a great time catching up with Peter & Kirsty to plan out some finer details of what will be an epic wedding early next year! Then we headed down to one of my favourite beaches to capture some sunny engagement photos. These guys are awesome, they climbed muddy hills, traversed rocky cliffs and got chilly wet feet with me. All while the waves crashed in a large swell off the white sandy beach.
Emily & Sam's Kuitpo Engagement Session
On Saturday I caught up with the sweetest couple, Emily and Sam at the ever beautiful Kuitpo Forest Reserve. As we come to the end of the last month of Winter we’ve been blessed with warm, Spring like days that remind me of Summer. Saturday was one of those gorgeously warm and light filled Winter days. The sun beautifully dipped in and out of soft cloud cover as we went for a little walk through its warmth in the forest. In true Australian style, joined by a group of curious roos.
Edward's Newborn Family Session
Last year I photographed the absolutely heart touching garden wedding of Maree and Hugh at Stangate House in Aldgate. And recently I was excited to receive a phone call that they had welcomed a gorgeous new baby boy into the world! I met Maree, Hugh and little Edward at their beautiful home for some photos by the warm wood fire and in the light filled nursery. Before we headed out with their lovely, old golden retriever Cleo.
Sara & Marty's Serafino Winter Wedding
Winter is such a unique season in South Australia, within a single day we can have heavy rain and beautiful, crisp sunshine. On Saturday we had moments of both rain and sunshine, and it certainly kept us on our toes!
Carmel & Troy's Beautiful Paracombe Winery Wedding
I met Carmel and Troy several months ago when they booked me to capture their wedding memories, shortly after we met again to create some gorgeous engagement portraits. (You can see the session on my blog here). But when we met again on Friday for their wedding day, we captured something truly beautiful.
Shey & Glen's Perfect Penny's Hill Winery Wedding
April weddings are always beautiful, with their warm Autumn tones and temperate weather. Saturday was a little bit extra special, with extra perfect weather, clear blue skies, a golden sunshine glow and the wedding of Shey & Glen at Penny's Hill. I met Shey briefly just before the wedding, looking absolutely stunning. Elly & Elm Events had done a wonderful job setting up a stunning backdrop for the wedding ceremony, with gorgeous florals and rustic touches, and Glen waited excitedly by it.
