Jarrod & Tracy's Adelaide Hills Wedding
It was such a lovely and sunny day for Jarrod and Tracy's December wedding in the Adelaide Hills. Both getting ready at little cottages full of charm, before coming together to be married in a gorgeous Hahndorf Church. St Paul's Lutheran Church also had a beautiful charm about it, as did the lovely ceremony performed for them. With the Christmas fair adding to the abundant cheer and joy of their special day.
Amber & Dan's Adelaide Hills Wedding
Amber and Dan's wedding day was full of joy and smiles. They described their day perfectly to me; as "a time to come together with all the people we love to celebrate! A semi vintage inspired eclectic wedding with a relaxed feel." They were looking forward to enjoying their day to the fullest, finally saying I do, sharing it with everyone around them, and top of the list, just being married!
Alex & Ryan's Adelaide Wedding
What a perfect Adelaide wedding this was! Showcasing not one, or two, but three of our great locations! With the wedding ceremony at the beautiful Penny's Hill Winery in McLaren Vale, to bridal portraits in the magnificent Kuitpo forrest, and capping everything off with a big celebration at the funky Kentish in North Adelaide. It was all just perfectly balanced and diverse in the most complimentary way.
Camilla & Brodies Bohemian Rustic Wedding in the Barossa Valley
When I first walked in the door on Friday morning I could not stop squealing "everything is so pretty!!" From the bridesmaids gowns, to the gorgeous flower crowns, Camilla’s beautiful lace wedding gown, (all of the outfits really), the hair, makeup, flowers, styling, beautiful happy smiles, pink fluffy slippers, everything. Including Camilla’s parents gorgeous property, with rolling hills and vineyards and a gorgeous natural setting of gums and the quintessential, semi-rural Barossa property.
Jess & Jordan's Marybank Wedding in the Adelaide Hills
Jess & Jordan had a beautifully intimate wedding at the gorgeous country stay of Marybank in the Adelaide Hills. (Now one of my top 5 venues!) With just their closest family and friends surrounding them with love and joy, a few tears shed, and as always a perfect ceremony by Pen (number 250!), it was a simply perfect day.
Zoe & Tristen's Barossa Wedding at a Family Home
When Zoe and Tristen described to me their intimate wedding with only those closest to them at their grandmas house in the Barossa. With a goal to keep things simple but elegant with a little country charm, I instantly knew their day would be a dream to photograph! Nestled in the rustic setting of the beautiful family home, Zoe and Tristen were married by the fabulous Kate from Blissful Wedding Ceremonies (and my partner at Our Wild Love Elopements).
Lou and John's Angaston Marquee Wedding
This was a magical wedding day set amidst the gorgeous scenery of Angaston in the Barossa Valley. Lou and John planned their day to be elegant and classic, which they pulled off with impeccable style. I have to say that their marquee set up was one of my favourites, with gorgeous fairy lights, chandeliers, a live band and amazing floral arrangements.
Jess & Brad's Chateau Tanunda Wedding
What an absolutely beautiful wedding this was in every single way. Jess and Brad's wedding was rustic but modern, with delicate mints, greys and an abundance of white casting a gorgeously elegant colour pallet for the day. Both Brad and Jess got ready for their big day at the Novotel, so close but completely out of sight from each other. With many of their family and friends also staying at the Novotel, it had a great vibe about it! Full of fun and excitement.
Milly and Jimmy's Adelaide Oval and Carrick Hill Wedding
What a day this was! I'm not sure I've ever seen a bride smile so much as Milly did all day long. Despite flus, dead car batteries and adventures down slippery hills into hidden groves, this day was perfect. Milly and her bridesmaids got ready at Milly's mum's house with no shortage of bubbles, giggles and beautiful dresses. Then through warm sunshine we drove to Carrick Hill, which was so green, beautiful and an idyllic backdrop for their ceremony. Through happy tears and beautiful words they married in front of delighted family and friends all eager to celebrate and congratulate the happy couple.
Megan & Jonathan's Long Lunch Wedding at the Currant Shed, McLaren Vale
This would be one of my dream weddings. A long 5 course lunch starting with canapés and finishing with extra cake. (I am a massive foodie though, what can I say?) Megan and Jonathan were two of the most relaxed and excited people I've seen before a wedding ceremony. With tears of joy they married during the most heartfelt and lovely ceremony by Camille. Following their ceremony, group and family photos it was straight into the relaxed festivities! With lawn games, delicious canapés, two entrees, two mains, dessert and cake. Gorgeous floral arrangements on the one long table in the perfect weather outside. A buzz of laughter and conversation, beautiful wines and loving speeches.
