Naomi & Ashleigh's Gawler Church & Sferas Wedding
Naomi & Ashleigh had a beautiful, sunny Winter Wedding at a Church in Gawler, followed by reception at Sferas. It was a day complete with Morris Men dancing at the ceremony. Heartfelt speeches and games. And just love all around, with family and friends gathering to celebrate the love between two special people.
Meagan and Chad's Winter Longview Wedding
Meagan and Chad's Winter wedding at Longview winery was a beautifully relaxed day. I've been loving our sunny Winter days, despite the chill. And we were blessed again to have a gorgeously sunny day complete with a stunning sunset. With all of Meagan & Chad's family and friends together in the one place (one of my favourite parts of any wedding), the atmosphere was gorgeously energetic and fun. Everyone coming together to celebrate love with some great food and wine.
Bianca & Tim's Inglewood Inn Wedding
Bianca and Tim married at the gorgeous Inglewood Inn in the Adelaide Hills on a chilly late Autumn's day. The perfect venue for cooler weather with its warming fires and snuggly atmosphere. With their ceremony set to finish just before sunset we took some pre-wedding portraits on the grounds, starting with a sweet little first look on a bridge. The natural surrounds with an old bridge, ivy, charming cottage, rolling hills, and even sheep and an alpaca were a beautiful setting to explore.
Sam & Anna's Mount Lofty Wedding
I love a wedding where the couple are as excited about good photography as I am. Sam and Anna not only love a good photo, but were the loveliest people to spend the day with. Excited for adventures, but more importantly their gorgeous marriage to each other.
Jayne & Alex's Wedding at the Jade, Adelaide CBD
This was one gorgeous and unique wedding, at the stunning Jade in the Adelaide CBD followed by a winding drive through the hills to Scott Creek. Jayne and Alex's wedding day was a feast for the eyes, with the largest bridal party I've worked with so far. The day was made up of both big beautiful moments, and those special smaller moments between Jayne, Alex and all of their loved ones. As it was said during their speeches, it takes a special kind of couple to be surrounded by so much love, and to have so many close friends and family that the bridal party couldn't be any smaller than 18 people!
Jo & John's Middleton Beach and Garden Wedding
This was a beautiful blend of English country garden meets South Aussie white sandy beach. The whole day had a natural vibe, with a rustic, native feel and a beautiful coming together of John's English background with Jo's Australian background. All the little touches blended in perfectly, from the bridesmaids cute floral skirts to Jo's dad's amazing car, the perfect venue and the warmth and love from all of the guests. It was such a gorgeous day! xx
Georgie & Chris' Longview Winery Wedding
This was a wedding day full of all the good things. Fairy bread, close friends, loving family, a stunning setting, some cool cars, lots of laughs and a night filled with dancing. It felt like a casual party, just fun. No stress, good food, drinks, dancing and all of Georgie & Chris' nearest and dearest.
Ellie and Brad's Ayers House & Adelaide Botanic Garden Wedding
This beautiful little wedding in the Adelaide CBD is what I picture as the perfectly elegant and timeless wedding. It was a day full of fun, laughter and lots of love in the room. With beautiful greens from living plants surrounding us not just during portraits at the Botanic Gardens, but also in the gorgeous reception room of Ayers House. Coupled with the endless charm of the classic decor of Ayers House, and you have beauty all around.
El & Tom's Bungaree Station Country Wedding in South Australia
Bungaree Station in the Clare Valley is one of my favourite wedding venues, and I always forget just how special it really is until I go back. El & Tom were one of those couples who perfectly suited Bungree station too. They and their wedding day were authentically relaxed, a proper country wedding but with a definitive touch of elegance. Suiting the venues long country roads, rolling paddocks, rustic buildings but definite country garden charm.
Zoe and Sam's Private Aussie Country Wedding at Carrickalinga
Every now and then you meet a couple who has a love so real it melts your heart (and maybe tears you up a bit too), this was one of those times! From the moment I met Zoe and Sam at their awesome private property near Carrickalinga I knew this would be one of my favourite weddings... With a theme that was Aussie beach meets Aussie bush, and a breathtaking setting combining with such a beautiful couple, inside and out, completely in love. How could it not be?
