Tessa & Nigel's Beautiful Chapel Hill Wedding
Saturday was such a warm and perfect day for Tessa & Nigel's wedding at the gorgeous Chapel Hill Wines Retreat in McLaren Vale. I met Tessa at the guest house just before we headed to the Cellar Door for some bride reveal portraits. Tessa & Nigel were both so excited to see each other, it was a beautiful moment! After this we took some bridal party portraits around the winery, just before they prepared for their ceremony.
Em & Sam's gorgeous Nepenthe Winery Wedding (+ Storm Trooper Helmets)
Talk about wild weather this year! What is normally a gorgeously warm month brought us an unfortunate day of wet and very windy weather on Saturday. But what the day lacked in optimal weather conditions, it certainly made up for in the most awesome couple Em & Sam, and their gorgeous Nepenthe winery wedding.
Laura & Jesse's Beautiful Wood House Wedding
On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Laura & Jesse's beautiful wedding at Wood House and Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens. Right from the moment I arrived until the moment I left, there was this amazing buzz in the air. Everyone was legitimately, and infectiously excited for what was the perfect wedding day for Laura & Jesse.
Laura & James' Perfectly Classic Glen Ewin Estate Wedding
On Saturday, on a perfect day with blue skies and a warm breeze, Laura and James married with a simply perfect and classic wedding day. I met James & Laura at the gorgeous Adina Apartments in the city, a very classic hotel with an old world charm. Exploring the basement with the guys added an awesome feel to the groom preparation photos. Whilst Laura and her bridesmaids were treated to a wall of gorgeous windows and natural light. The vintage cars that transported them to Glen Ewin Estate with the icing on the cake of such a stellar location.

When you’re told the theme “Irish tea party elopes with the Australian Outback”, then you know you’re in for something special! Annalisa & Mick’s wedding wasn’t just perfectly styled with gorgeous vintage & rustics touches, it was also perfectly relaxed with warm and kind people all celebrating a beautiful wedding, followed with some delicious Aussie BBQ!
Sara & Pete's Uniquely Gorgeous North Adelaide Wedding
Sara & Pete’s wedding is one I’ve been looking forward to. With Sara a photographer and Peter a musician, they were both keen on having a very relaxed and unique wedding with creative photography.
Stacey & Bradly's gorgeous bridal portraits with horses at sunset xx
After capturing Stacey & Bradly’s wedding recently, I was very excited to catch up with them and their two horses at their beautiful Two Wells property. It’s easy to see how horses get a representation for being such magnificent and beautiful animals. Blaze and Izzie both fit this magnificent and beautiful description, but on top of that, they had the biggest personalities too!
Katie & Chris' Beautiful Rainy Wedding at Serafino
With their wedding starting on daylight savings, Katie & Chris’ wedding day was already a little bit special being just 23 hours long. I started to get to know them better during their engagement session just one week before, but by the end of their wedding it was more than evident just how fun, sweet and lovely the two them are!
Jess & Brad's Beautiful Lobethal Wedding
What a beautiful break Saturday was in a long line of wet and dreary days. The sun was out and shining brightly through soft clouds and blue skies all day long.
Huai & Coral's Pre-Wedding Portraits around Adelaide
On Friday we had a beautifully sunny day! I was lucky enough to spend the sunshine filled afternoon with Huai & Coral, capturing some gorgeous pre-wedding portraits all across Adelaide, from the CBD to the beach. Huai & Coral are such a sweet couple, which made the portrait session an absolute dream. After Tallora from Mobile Makeovers Australia worked her magic, we started in the Adelaide Himeji Gardens. Moving through the city from North Terrace to the River Torrens and North Adelaide. Talking a leisurely walk on Henley Beach at sunset, and finishing up back in the city near Victoria Square for some city night portraits by the fountain.
