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!

The long weekend was full of so much sunshine, and for early Winter, that’s some beautiful news! Madeline and Marc’s Sunday wedding was warm, bright and had not one drop of rain in sight. In huge contrast to the engagement session we shared not too long ago in Autumn (which you can see here). They must have gotten all the rain out of the way early, and so their sunny Winter’s wedding day was perfect.

What a day Friday was! Leading up to the day I have to admit, I was a little bit anxious about the flood warnings, wind warnings, storm warnings and hail warnings for Friday. As always, I ventured to the venue a few days before the wedding to hunt out some snug and warm little hideaways that would be dry and beautiful inside the gorgeous Mount Lofty House. When the day arrived, it was wet and cold, but it wasn't the monster of a day forecasts had made it out to be. In fact, it ended up being quite perfect.

What a beautiful day Saturday day was! A sunshine filled day worthy of the amazing celebration put on by Mel and Craig. Under the guise of Mel’s 30th birthday combined with an engagement party, Mel and Craig effortlessly pulled off an amazing surprise wedding to top it all off! That’s three amazing things all celebrated on the same day, talk about a big and special party!

On Saturday I spent a gorgeously warm and sunny May day with Terry and Courtney on their beautiful wedding day. They had booked two separate rooms at the Casavino Luxury Villas in McLaren Vale, and so were able to prepare for the day side by side but out of view. Right from the beginning there was an air of joy and excitement.

On Friday I had the joy of photographing Keith & Jolene's beautiful little Adelaide registry office wedding. As always, the ceremony was beautifully carried out, short and sweet and full of love. Following the wedding we headed out in to the glorious sunshine (made even more so by the fact we'd just had a week of heavy rain) to the Adelaide Himeji gardens. 

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. 

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.

Sunday was a perfect day in oh so many ways. Starting with clear blue, sunny skies, beautifully temperate weather and the most gentle of breezes. I arrived at Stockade botanical park just as family and decorators had arrived to set up the wedding marquee and rotunda. There was a beautifully calm buzz of excitement as Rychelle and Brittain (AKA Michael) arrived together for their pre-ceremony portraits.

On Easter Saturday, with skies full of beautiful clouds and a perfectly temperate breeze Prue and Mark married in absolutely stunning DIY fashion in their lovely backyard. If you follow Pinterest for inspiration, then the setup for this DIY backyard wedding may well be your dream! With gorgeous festoon lighting, homemade arbours, signing stations and drink bars and absolutely gorgeous styling with the perfect amount of natural flower arrangements.
