On Saturday it felt like Summer had finally come in full force with a 41 degree, overcast day embracing the city. No matter the weather though, it was going to be a beautiful day! Abi & Stefan married in the gorgeous Flinders Street Baptist Church in Adelaide, such a classic and stunning old building surrounded by many friends and family. It was a hot day, but Abi & Stefan's happiness, love and kind personalities kept the day absolutely joyful. And the "dabbing" (is that right?) certainly kept the day "cool". (Ah... I'm so not trendy, haha!)

On Monday I shot my first wedding for 2017, and what a great wedding it was to bring in the New Year! Cate & Roj did an amazing job planning and setting up their casual & relaxed backyard beach wedding in Middleton. A place that they love, and were happy to share with their family, including their two beautiful fur babies!

This is my first year in review post, not because I've had nothing to share, but because I've always found it waaaayyyyy too hard to choose what to share. It's hard enough to choose which 50-100 photos per wedding to share on each of their blog posts. Let alone which one photo from each session to bring together in one end of year blog post. This year however, I can't help but share!

Jo & Ben are two of the loveliest people you could hope to meet. Catching up with them and their energetic golden retriever Charlie for an engagement session on the beach in October, I knew right away that their wedding day would be special. Meeting them again at their venue, the gorgeous (& delicious!) K1 Winery, and hearing all their plans for the day confirmed the feeling.

A couple of weeks ago I photographed the wedding of these two beautiful souls. And what a time it has been for them! Completing exams, exploring beautiful locations with me from Nuriootpa to Tanunda, moving house, getting married, and finishing it off with a lovely cruise on their honeymoon. Wow!

Hayley & Katrina's wedding on Sunday was something special. Arriving at the Thomas Street Reserve in Aldinga, there was a legitimate buzz of excitement. And as there ceremony began everyone was swept up in the beautiful, heartfelt emotion of Katrina & Hayley's love for each other and the beautiful words they shared to express that.

Amelia & Steve's wedding on Saturday has to be one of my favourites! I spent the entire day with them, from the start of makeup until the last song and final goodbyes, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Everything from the decor details to Amelia's stunning Grace Loves Lace dress, and the rustic, authentic venue Barn1890, all perfectly blended to create a stunning bohemian wedding with a touch of vintage.

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.

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.

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.
