Abby & Antoine's Stunning Bohemian Wedding at the Chaff Shed
Abby & Antoine's wedding on Saturday was nothing short of perfect. From the moment I arrived there was a buzz of excitement and pure happiness (with a little touch of nervous anticipation). Oliver's Chaff Shed is such a beautiful, rustic location, and all of Abby & Antoine's little touches brought out the very best of it. From the outdoor lounge room, to the perfect floral arrangements, the friendly staff and delicious assortment of food and not to forget... Abby's stunning custom made dress from Red Pearl Courture!
Krystel & Liam's Beach Wedding
Capturing Krystel & Liam's beach wedding was just like capturing the wedding of close friends. I have so much love for these guys and their fun filled approach to life! When you watch them watching each other, all you can see is love. They suit each other perfectly in every single way.
Beth & Roger's Beautiful Al Ru Farm Wedding
Friday was an amazing day, it started soft and overcast at St Marks College in North Adelaide for pre-wedding portraits with Beth, Roger and their bridal party. Beth and Roger met at the college, and so it was the perfect place to take some gorgeous pictures! Just as we finished capturing the portraits the overcast day turned into a mammoth storm! The rain poured down so heavily with loud cracks of thunder and bright lightening.
Chris & Michelle's Bohemian Beach Wedding
Every now and then you come across a couple that you can’t describe any other way than passionately in love. From our first meeting I could see just how much Chris & Michelle adored each other in every single way. Their wedding day was a perfect example of this beautiful, passionate love.
Jen & Dan's Gorgeous Red Poles Wedding
My first wedding of 2016 was a gorgeous one, every little details just came together perfectly. The light was low and bright and just glowed. The venue's were full of character and warmth. And of course, Jen and Dan were married in a ceremony just full to bursting with love and happiness.
Mel & Scott's Beautiful Botanic Gardens & North Adelaide Wedding
Twenty fifteen, what a year that was! I completely loved each and every wedding that I photographed, and what better way to finish a year full of gorgeous weddings than with my 55th wedding for the year on New Years Eve! Mel and Scott’s wedding was so perfect, a casual garden wedding with little details that all came together to create something simply perfect and timeless. Mel’s custom made dress had everyone absolutely speechless (it was just too good!), paired with some sparkly silver shoes; she looked like a vision. Scott scrubbed up very well too! I love the trend of navy suits, to me they’re just a timeless choice.
Isobelle & Andrew's Relaxed Willunga Wedding
Sunday was a day full of beautiful things, a soft rainy morning, a bright and sunny afternoon, fun loving and genuine people and such a relaxed vibe. Isobelle and Andrew married in the beautiful surrounds of Middlebrooke Estate in the McLaren Vale. There had been the soft patter of rain and gentle rumble of thunder all morning. But the sun came out with a bright blue sky just in time for their ceremony, on a lush green lawn lined with lush vines.
Viv & Ravi's Beautiful Summer Garden Wedding
We all know how hot Saturday was at a sizzling 43 degrees, but that just added to the perfection of Viv and Ravi’s gorgeous Summer wedding at the Botanic Gardens. I can’t think of many places better to be on a hot day than a beautiful garden, surrounded by cooling greenery, comforting shade and that beautiful burst of fresh garden scent. The botanic garden was full of the smells of trees and flowers, it was amazing!
Amber & Dan's Warm & Wonderful McLaren Vale Winery Wedding
Saturday was HOT! A sunny and sweaty 39 degrees, but it was beautiful! Amber & Dan's wedding was so fun and warm in every sense of the word. Full of happiness. Every part of the wedding suited Amber & Dan to a T, beautiful wineries, craft wines and beers, a relaxed vibe in the beautiful back yard of Dan's parents house, surrounded by rolling hills, vines and love. Their live band Full Circle was a hoot! And the food was soooo goood. Ducking out at sunset to take photos in the barley field with soft hills in the distance was a photogs dream. Congrats again guys! Your wedding was perfect. xx
Manman & Louis' Traditional Tea Ceremony & Beautiful Stangate House Wedding
Sunday was a wonderful day! I shot one of my first traditional tea ceremonies, and it was so so good! A morning full of laughter, happiness, excitement, love, tradition and of course, tea and gifts. You couldn't help but laugh and smile all morning as the boys performed their games, make-up application and a food "treat" of all 5 flavour types. Sweet, salty, bitter... all in one delicious mouthful, yum. Manman looked so stunning in her beautiful red gown, and following the ceremonies we parted ways briefly as they headed on to Stangate House to set up for their wedding ceremony.
