What a wedding this was! Sarah and Nick told me that they were looking forward to just having the best day ever with all their close friends and family. That is was going to be so much fun! And they were not wrong at all. Their wedding day was full of love, laughter, good food, good conversation, dancing and such a cool vibe. Their choice of venue, Brooklyn Farm, provided the perfect rustic and relaxed backdrop. And their own personal touches, from the stunning wedding dress, paisley tie, gorgeous florals and awesome little touches (like a golden t-rex!) really made it their own day.

On Saturday I took a lovely drive down South to Brooklyn Farm in the rolling hills of Myponga. Where I was greeted by the biggest smile from lovely bride Amber as, dressed in a towel and surrounded by loved ones, family, friends and her groom Ken, everyone put together their finishing touches for a heart felt wedding ceremony.

I'm fairly sure I didn't see the smile leave Amber's face or the love leave Ken's eyes for the entire day. It was one of the most heart warming and relaxed weddings I've had the pleasure of capturing.

Saturday was a gorgeous day. With drizzles of rain, dramatic skies and a beautiful love story. As Alex & Em prepared for the day, there was a buzz of excitement and nervous anticipation. The big day was here in the blink of an eye, and after so much hard work.

Arriving at Anderson' Hill, I was greeted with dramatic, dark skies and spattering's of rain. "What's the plan?" I asked as the rain added spots to our outfits. With a big smile Alex said, we're going with the lawn! I'm sure it'll be great! And it was.

On Saturday I captured Kirsty & Peter's gorgeous Chapel Hill wedding, and it was an absolute treat! These two are so down to earth, so real and so kind, and their wedding had exactly the same vibe. True friends, loving family, a relaxed atmosphere, gorgeous yet simple Australian native styling and a heart warming authenticity.

Australia Day was very different for me this year. Instead of (just) enjoying a beer with friends whilst listening to the Triple J Hottest 100 Count Down, I had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful love story.

On Sunday, I was blessed to capture a wedding that was full of so much love, in every form! The love of family. The love of friends. And the love between soulmates.

Bianca & Kenan’s wedding day was perfect in every way, from their amazing fashion sense (talk about those suits, and Bianca’s stunning dress), to the gorgeous venue, delicate florals and lovely styling.

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.
