Mahayla & Tim's Bohemian River Land Wedding
Mahayla and Tim’s wedding in the river land was an absolute dream. Not just the rural location right by the river Murray with beautiful old stone buildings around us. Not just the bohemian decorations giving the space a relaxed but beautiful vibe. But also how relaxed and fun the day was, and not just because there were kids playing underfoot. Mahayla and Tim managed to pull off an atmosphere where everyone could just relax and be themselves, sharing and celebrating the special and intimate moments of the day. A lovely day for the family to come together.
Sam & Buddy's Ekhidna Wines Wedding
Sam & Buddy’s wedding was classic and authentic. Just watch how these guys looked at each other and you could feel the love. The day was full to bursting with beautiful things. All the special little touches they put together, the gifts and kind words. A ceremony full of love and photo adventures out to some of my favourite places in McLaren Vale, including Gull Rock. Then a night full of dancing and celebrating with loved ones. As always, I’m going to let the photos do the talking. xo
Kyla & Jane's Kuitpo Forest Wedding
Kyla & Jane had a relaxed, natural and romantic wedding surrounded by big, beautiful trees in Kuitpo Forest. Their day was full of gorgeous moments, from the ceremony, exchanging rings, first kiss, and becoming each other’s wives. To celebrating with loved ones in natural confetti and by dancing the night away. I adored the cute Kombi Van they hired as their wedding car, which took us along dirt paths to beautiful and natural places. And had a wonderful evening celebrating their love with their loved ones! Who looked great in their new rainbow socks.
Jade & Jake's Bohemian Elopement at Kuitpo Forest
Jade & Jake’s elopement in Kuitpo forest was stunningly beautiful, despite also being wonderfully simple and intimate. A day all about being able to finally call each other “husband” and “wife”, and in Jake’s words, “it completes us”. And what a beautiful family they are with happy little Ryder! From the picnic and bubbles, to the trek up the hill and into the forest for photos. The entire afternoon was perfect. Thanks so much for having us guys! xo
Kels & Rickys Colourful Currency Creek Wedding
Kels and Ricky had a unique, colourful, loud, fun and creative wedding in the beautiful country setting of Currency Creek on a private property for hire. Such a stunning location with beautiful fields and lovely old buildings. Decorated thoughtfully with customised and artistic touches. I absolutely loved the bridesmaids floral wreaths instead of bouquets., so cute and creative! When the day gave way to evening, and everyone’s bellies were full from the two food trucks, the party ramped up with dancing and live music right into the night. It was fantastic.
Abbey & Rudy's Secret Kangaroo Island Elopement in the Rain
This little elopement was full of all the right things. Absolutely stunning views from a perfectly cosy B&B nestled in rolling hills overlooking the sea. Genuine love and excitement to be married and able to call each other husband and wife. A simple, relaxed and easy vibe - no rushing, no pressure. Just a lovely atmosphere and calming, cool white skies.
Meaghan and Luke's Relaxed Barossa Valley Engagement Session
I absolutely LOVED capturing these engagement memories for Meaghan an Luke. We went on an adventure in the Barossa Valley exploring warm fields, rolling hills, big old gum trees, pockets of sunshine and more. It was such a great evening! And of course, frolicking was definitely involved. Thanks so much for having me guys!! xo
Carly & Barnesy's Relaxed Wedding at Barn1890
Oh goodness. What a day! And what a wonderful job Carly & Barnesy did pulling this wedding together, not once but twice! All within 24 hours! Their wedding was scheduled to take place the weekend of Adelaide’s short lived lockdown. As soon as we found that the lockdown would be cut short, Carly was onto it! Getting their entire wedding day moved from Saturday to Sunday. Which made the dancing, seeing each other at the alter, and celebrating with family and friends all the more special. And it was perfectly beautiful, relaxed, fun and full of love and joy.
Emma & Callan's Rustic Renmark Wedding
Emma & Callan had a relaxed celebration with their closest friends and family, great food and wine and Dancing! Two spectacular locations for portraits made me one very happy photographer (how amazing is that B&B by the river!?) And best of all, Emma and Callan got to exchange their vows and become husband and wife.
Tams & Hazz's Fleurieu Cherries Wedding in McLaren Vale
I LOVE how Tams & Hazz described their wedding; tight-knit, relaxed, romantic and a little bit silly. It was all those things and more! A warm and relaxed celebration at Fleurieu Cherries with their delicious homemade cherry ice-cream, their dog Monkey a cheeky centre of attention and time to chat with friends and family over drinks and canapes. Followed by an escape to the sea where a random dance party welcomed Tams and Hazz in with open arms and sparklers. What a way to end the day!
Caitlin & Karl's Natural Maternity Portraits at Gull Rock
We were all slightly worried about the rain this day, but just as we hoped, the rain eased and the sun started shining beautifully through the clouds. Despite being slightly windy, it was a gorgeous afternoon! Full of cuddles and beautiful dreams of what the next few weeks, months and years would bring. All the lovely dreams and wishes for the little one soon to join them. A beautiful little pause just to enjoy the moment, and the anticipation of moments to come. Congratulations guys!! :)
Amelia's Natural Family + Small Business Portraits
I love to capture beautiful and natural moments between people, like Amelia and her son. With an exciting new small business planned, these photos can be used not just for the special family memories, but also to share what she does with the world. The adventure and the fun and the authentic tenderness all captured within one short hour were beautifully heart warming. 💛
