Jade & Bill's Glen Ewin Estate, Gate House Wedding

Jade and Bill had a beautifully classic wedding at the Gate House at Glen Ewin Estate on a beautiful late October day. With soft decor of whites and green, delicate touches, sparkling fairy lights and big glowing letters it was a feast for the eyes. I’m absolutely loving taking some extra portraits at night, especially when a sunset fails to shine through an overcast sky. And Jade and Bill? What more can I say, other than a beautiful couple beautifully suited to each other. Who got to spend a wonderful day together sharing their love with family and friends. As always, I’ll keep my words short and let the images do the talking.

Niamah & Michael's Harry Potter Wedding at Bridgewater Mill

Niamah and Michael’s wedding day was magical, but not in the usual sense. It was magical in the truly magical sense, a fantastic fantasy wedding inspired by Harry Potter. With broomsticks for bridesmaid bouquets, and Harry Potter decor and tributes so tastefully done it felt as though we were standing on the Harry Potter film set.

Kerry and Scott's Bohemian Forest Wedding in Adelaide, Kuitpo

This was such a magical forest wedding, on Spring solstice in gorgeous Burbrook Forest, Kuitpo, Adelaide. With bare feet grounding them to the earth Kerry and Scott married in nature surrounded by their family, close friends and children. On top of this beautiful and symbolic wedding, involving a promise stone during the exchange of rings, were beautiful bohemian touches. From a chandelier hanging amongst the trees, to lovely lawn games, delicious tapas, cool kombi vans, soulful acoustic tunes and just a welcoming and relaxed vibe. With the festoon lights shining brightly as the sun slowly set, it was just such a great atmosphere.

Ben and Shannon's Beautiful Beach Wedding

Ben and Shannon’s wedding day was very casual and relaxed, not at all formal or stuffy. They had all of their friends and family with them in a big gathering to celebrate. First with a touching ceremony at Sturt’s Cottage in Grange, where many a tear was shed and laughter rang out. Then after some beach portraits, it was on to the Palais in Semaphore, where heartfelt speeches, ample (& delicious food), plus plentiful drinks abounded. Finishing up with some sunset portraits, and a deliciously yolky and hazy sun that magically dipped down to the sea.
