Adi & Aidin's Beautiful Rainy Wedding Day at Middlebrook Estate
It’s been a very wet Spring this year! We’ve had flooding all across Australia with record breaking rainfall. And despite the rain falling for 2 weeks in the lead up to Adi & Aidin’s wedding, and continuing on the wedding day itself, their celebration was perfect.
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.
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!
Madeline & Marc's Sunshine Filled Winter Wedding
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.
Maddie & Harry's Stormy Mt Lofty Wedding
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.
Mel & Craigs Surprise Wedding
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!
Terry & Courtney's Beautiful McLaren Vale Wedding
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.
Keith & Jolene's Beautiful Little Registry Wedding
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.
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.
