Catherine and George had a perfectly intimate wedding at the Company Store in the Barossa Valley with their closest family and friends. It was a perfectly beautiful day with lovely, lush and green scenery surrounding us, nestled in rolling hills. Acoustic tunes, a cute yellow Kombi Van, delicious food and drink, and so many smiles and laughter.

Nicole and Luc brought their whole family to have portraits at Port Willunga Beach early in the year, just before jetting back across the ocean home. With their 4 gorgeous kids and their parents we took a few nice family photos, and a few photos letting the kids run free! A beautiful Summer day in the sunshine overlooking the ruined jetty, cool blue water, and unique sandy beach caves. Thanks for having me! :)

New Year’s Eve is a time to celebrate the passing of one year and the beginning of another, and what a beautifully symbolic time to celebrate a wedding! The celebration of a relationship transitioning from having not just a partner, but also a husband or a wife. Plus, it’s a big party to boot! Matt and Sam’s wedding was a beautiful celebration right from the start through to the New Years Eve countdown, complete with sparklers and flower petal cannons.

We all remember that record breaking hot day last week, nearly 47 degrees in Adelaide, the hottest day on record since the 30s! Kate and I (the celebrant I work with at Our Wild Love Elopements) decided to keep the record breaking heat going with a road trip to Broken Hill to capture Claudia and Nug’s beautiful wedding day. Prior to this though, we decided to do a a simple little engagement shoot with their beautiful daughter Livy. To keep our energy up for the big day, we decided to keep the session short and indoors.

After capturing Erin and Dave’s engagement portraits and wedding, I was thrilled to capture some natural memories for them as a family with 2 new members. Their sausage dog kransky came along when they collected their wedding USB, a little more grown up for this session he accompanied their newest family member baby Isla. Who is so adorably cute that even when she was grumbling and teary she looked sweet as a button. We started their family session in their family home, before heading to a nearby park for the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor portraits. Congrats on your beautiful baby girl guys! x

Jen and Dan’s wedding was beautifully classic but oh so much fun! With their gorgeous fur friend Roxy the flower dog (who ran down the aisle to Roxanne), the beautiful grounds of Maximillians (with vineyards, golf, and views of rolling Adelaide Hills), and a party that knew what to do when Eagle Rock came on. (Plus who could forget all those delicious shots of tequila!) It wasn’t just the amazing company and beautiful look of the wedding that made this day special. It was the loving company, the family and friends that Jen and Dan surrounded themselves with. Along with their beautiful, down to earth and genuinely kind souls.

The Summer skies so far have been breathtakingly beautiful as stormy overcast days meet the warmth of a building summer. Nikki and Mike’s wedding day was blessed with one of these beautiful skies, the rain managing to hold back and ensure a perfect day. A day that was fun, casual, beachy and relaxed. Mixed with classy and timeless styling, trendy portrait locations around Port Adelaide and lovely people. From getting ready, to walking down the aisle, saying their vows, taking portraits and partying the night away. The entire day was both elegant and fun.

One of my favourite parts of this gorgeous job of mine is travelling our beautiful country and state to capture meaningful and natural portraits and stories. Recently I had a lovely drive to Port Julia on the Yorke Peninsula to capture some natural family portraits on Lauran, Kaleb and baby Rafferty’s rustic family farm.

Steph and Tys had a small, intimate and relaxed wedding at the stunning Barrister’s Block Winery in the Adelaide hills. With gorgeously classic styling (including a very cool round arbour), gentle showers of rain, deer frolicking through the forest, and a warm reception in every sense of the word. It was a stunning day.

There's something so special about family, a bond worth cherishing and remembering. I adore capturing special moments between family. Like little Isaiah with his mum and dads at Brighton Beach and a nearby park.
